My mom recently celebrated her 70th birthday! In my mind, any birthday ending in “0” deserves to be a celebrated on a large scale!
The invitation had hot pink roses (not tulips!) on it so that set the color scheme and theme.
Since my mom lives in Dallas and I live on the East Coast, I worked with Jessica, the special events planner at The Mansion on Turtle Creek, to put together the perfect luncheon. The Mansion was the “go to” place when I was growing up for special occasions, and I was thrilled (with my brother’s help) to be able to treat my mom and her friends.
Here is my mom, Mildred (in the white jacket – doesn’t she look amazing?!!) with her childhood friend, Clydell, who flew up from Corpus Christi for the party.
My Southern cousins flew in from Atlanta and Houston and my sister-in-law, who lives in Dallas, is our token blonde!
We had 2 round tables in this sun filled room – which allowed everyone to visit.
Party favors were white porcelain vases with a rose motif. The vases were adorned with the cutest picture of my mom at 17, along with the quote, “I believe in pink” Audrey Hepburn.

Who do you need to celebrate this year? Make it memorable!
