{Real Party} French Themed Birthday Party

My friend Chris, at Celebrations at Home, hosted this amazing French themed birthday party for her husband, inspired by their time together in France...before children.

Chris used decor she already had in such beautiful and creative ways!

As guests arrived, they were greeted with French wine and champagne. The bar area was set with a pvc pipe frame system to hold old frames and "C" for Chuck. Curtain panels frames the vignette, an old chest acted as a bar, and she iced the champagne in a garden urn.

I just love the menu! Guests experienced a little taste of France with goat cheese toasts w/ caramelized onions, brie tarts with strawberry preserves, mini quiches, and "french" fries served in paper cones with a fleur de lis embellishment. And old suit case was used to serve the toasts, and a pictures from their trip created a memory "banner" above.
