Time and again I've said that I'm lucky to have so many great clients with great ideas. I totally hit the jackpot with the Regula Family. Three sisters (Lindsey, Brandi, & Brittani) getting married in two years - SCORE!! Even better was the fact that the Regula girls (and their patient mother Deb) were lots of fun and loaded with great ideas.

Their weddings are over and the brides are settling down into married life. However the partying nature of the Regulas can't be stopped and a Surprise 30th Birthday Party was in order for Brandi's husband Bryan.

(side note: I LOVE knowing secrets but I stress that I will let something slip so I'm always very happy when the cat is out of the bag)

Anyway, nothing ordinary for these folks. From her temporary home in Canada, creative Brandi put together a full bash with all the details.

(another side note: This couple became engaged at a post game Buckeye Party (Hineygate for all you OSU fans in the know). I saw it on the U-Tube. The Danger Brothers let Bryan sing the Brandi song - "Brandi, what a fine girl, what a good wife you will be")

With that history behind them an obvious party location would be a Buckeye tailgate at "the Shoe" in Columbus, Ohio. An OSU win against San Diego State and partying with the Danger Brothers? What could be better?

Thanks to The Regula Family for their continued business. It's been a pleasure helping you on your special occasions and I admire your flair for entertaining.

Man Up!

A fun popular pocket style invite.

The Inside

Total "man theme" with fist bump, the "man up" logo and a mystery brown envelope.

Maybe you are sensing a theme

The envelope please!

Inside the little envelope was a clue to the fun ahead. A little card and a fake mustache (Brandi sourced those herself so I didn't have one).

The Happy Couple

Birthday Boy Bryan Zofkie and his beautiful (and sneaky) wife Brandi.

Party Favors

Brandi had me design a cute bag topper to go with her "hangover helper" favors.

Something new

Brandi wanted a fun photo booth element to the party. We designed a backdrop using all the graphics from the invite. Since a large scale backdrop print can be pricey we put our heads together. I printed multiple sheets of 12x18 prints and Brandi spray mounted them together to make a cost effective and fun backdrop. Mission accomplished!
