Happy *Glamorous* Birthday Cici!!!

To be honest, I only had less than a week to plan this.
Just to share with you guys, below was the original plan and layout I had in mind...

First of was the invitation card.
I designed it a.l.a VIP card XD


Next was the backdrop, as what you've seen from the above pictures:


Last but not least, the layout *thanks Rina for sketching it out*
Initially, I planned for the chairs to be covered with black clothe wrapped in hot pink bow,
300-500 helium balloons pink and purple balloons,
Barricade and red carpet all the way from entrance to the room,
2 backdrops i.e. one for red carpet moments and one for stage backdrop,
3 layer of chocolate cheese cake,
and 20 CLOSE friends of hers.

But due to budget constrain, increased number of guests from 20 to 40+ and the non availability of the colour table clothe and chair cover from the venue, I had to readjust, squeeze and compress every single one of them but still have all the things I planned.
Thank god, it is all well managed, except 1 glitch that made me quiet irritated.
8 guests that RSVPed TWICE didn't showed up at all!
Not only they're wasting my time and precious money, the worst part was, 1 of them said "Oh? I forgot".
Wth? They almost ruined my night if it weren't for my sister.
*May I remind you, I'm a perfectionist*

But all in all, all I wanted was for my sis to be happy and have the best birthday she had ever had :)

Happy "glamorous" 23rd birthday Cici!
XOXO - Your best big sis you'll ever find,
