Celebrate an anniversary with a special photo display and dessert table.
I have been in love with dessert tables for parties for so long, and my parents 40th Anniversary was the perfect opportunity for a little dessert table. It’s so fun to celebrate them! We first made a fun Black and White Photo Collage filled with a bunch of happy memories of the two of them over the last 40 years.
I love how it turned out!
I did all the paper craft party decor…and NO…I didn’t bake a thing, and that’s okay, because my local grocery store and “Little Debbie” DO!
For all the party decor, I used these paper cutting dies from Lifestyle Crafts:
-the rectangle box with the clear plastic sheets
-mini flags for the cupcakes
-treat bags for the cookies + scallop circle
– belly band and insert for vase wrapped and filled with candy
-wraps for the little apple juice bottles + the seal in the center
Thanks Mom & Dad for giving me a reason to roll out the “yellow” carpet.

Oh I bet your parents loved it. Everything came out so pretty!

I love the vase with yellow candy – it looks like an icy glass of lemonade! The yellow *pops* so well against the black and white board!
Staci says
Oh my! I love this Kam! I suddenly want to have a party and hire you to do all the tables and decorations!
