In the LDS church (aka Mormons) We celebrate the founding of our Womens organization, the Relief Society, every March. This is the second year I've got to help put together this little birthday party, and it is SOO much fun! It's alot of work, but totally worth it!
As usual, I made way more work or myself than I needed to, and made two cupcake stands. If you want all the directions on how I did this, go here.
I am loving these super cute and colorful cupcake stands, and they're WAY better covered in these gorgeous cupcakes that some of the other women made. (They tasted just as good as they looked too!)
Another one of the women made this beautiful picture as a centerpiece for our Hor d'oeuvre table. This was the theme for the evening, "Women of Worth". It was a beautiful celebration of the women in our ward and how amazing they are.
I also made a fun pennant banner to hang behind the table, I love the extra color it added to the beautiful gym!:) I'm just glad it was way easier to make than I thought it would be!
Okay, lots of pictures of the cupcakes, and stand. What can I say, I love them!
The colors were all so bright and cheerful. It just made the evening more fun and it was so much fun to get to do all this with some truly incredible women!
The new Relief Society logo has "Faith, Family, Relief" printed underneath it, so we used that throughout the room too. This is truly what this organization is all about. What could be better than those three things?
We started out the evening with a little game. We "patted" ourselves on the back. Using a handprint cutout taped to your back, you went around the room and wrote something positive about each women. It really makes you think and appreciate the women who surround you, such a fun game!
Lucky me, my mom happened to be in town and joined me for the evening, so she took these pictures of everyone writing in lines on each others backs.
I didn't get any pictures of the program, but let me tell you, it was uplifting! Tamalyn, who put the video together is just awesome at what she does, and it truly made the night special. I am beyond blessed to be able to learn from some truly wonderful women who are such great examples to me. This includes my own mom, who just happened to be here for such a great evening. I'm glad I could share it with her, even if she only knew a couple of people there!
