Last Friday my sister and I threw a surprise 30th anniversary party for my parents. It went perfectly! To decorate we rented a helium tank and filled my ceiling with massive 36″ balloons and a sprinkling of regular sized balloons.
For my parents’ gift I dusted off my old drawing pencils and sketched their wedding photo. I knew they would like it, since your parents have to like anything you make for them—even if it’s a macaroni necklace!
We played with balloons to unwind after all the excitement was over. You wouldn’t believe how much lift a 36″ helium balloon has. I don’t know how Oliver managed to keep his paws on the ground!

love love! I just saw an engagement photo shoot where there were a ton of balloons. I am now hooked on the idea that I must make this happen LOL. Love your drawing too! :D
Thanks April!
You girls just continue to surprise and amaze me. Thanks for your thoughfulness and I am wondering if your sketch pencils will help with my grey hair?
freaking fantastic!!! I adore all the balloons, I was thinking of having a few of those giant ones for my wedding photos!
Do it! They were so much fun to play with. :)
Fantastic time and loved the decorations particularly the pencil drawing. Yes, it is better than macaroni necklaces but those were nice too. Love the picture of Oliver!
I still can’t believe we pulled it off!!!!!!! Can you send me the fun pictures we took? :)
I’ll post them on FB sometime. :)
Wow! You did a fantastic job on that drawing of your parents! Kudos to you.
Thanks Emily!
That’s really pretty! Your dog is adorable! :)
I will tell him you think so! ;)
That is gorgeous!! Far from a macaroni necklace :)
I bet your parents loved that drawing – what a beautiful gift!
The balloons look amazing, great photos
