My darling husband turned 40 this past weekend and threw a little party for him with just our favorite close friends. It was a really lovely evening even though (or probably because) I didn't get to everything I had to planned to make. I had big plans for a whole array of homemade chocolate desserts to go along with the chocolate theme (and Crispin's obsession with the stuff) but just had time to make the cake. It was super yummy and nobody cared that I didn't have 4 desserts. (Note to self - nobody cares but you!) Since his family is in England and couldn't be here to celebrate I emailed and asked everyone to send a favorite memory of Crispin. Some super funny and some very touching and he loved the surprise. I'm going to miss our friends terribly when we move but it will be great to be closer to family in England.
Yummy English cheeses. Used chocolate brown wrapping paper for a table runner and silver marker to write the names of the cheeses. Everyone loved this detail! I used it on the cocktail table too.
For favors I unwrapped English chocolate bars and rewrapped them in chocolate brown paper and embossed 40 with silver embossing powder.
Love this little perforation tool! The invite had 3 pages - one with the details, one with a funny little "how well do you know the birthday boy" quiz and the other was for guests to write a funny quote or advice on life after 40.
