Engagement Partay

This past weekend I got to help throw an engagement party for some of my husband and I's dear friends, Ashley and Tyler. They are Young life leaders with us in Virginia Beach and they are awesome. They have been dating for six years and Ashley is not even 21 yet...crazy. That means they have been together longer than me and Philip.

I made the invite on photoshop using my basic skills from my photography class in high school (at least I am using something from my education!)

The fonts were all downloaded on dafont.com - a great free site for fonts!

Ashley's mom made homemade BBQ...yum. I did the decor, which was very fun for me. Here are a few snap shots...

from 6 years of dating (high school dances, football games, etc...they have a lot of pictures!) so we decorated the house with pictures hanging on baker's twine or just regular twine. 

 

i loved the cups...i think i maybe saw this on pinterest, but i painted a strip of chalkboard paint on the cup so people could write their names on their cup. 

little station at the door. "i do" spelled out on scrabble tiles. could have spelled a lot of other cute things too. 

luminaries with ashley's new initial (sponge painted an "S" with acrylic paint)

mini tissue poms! 

and last picture...me and the bride to be!

Congrats Ashley + Tyler!

We love you guys and are excited for you all!
