Saying Goodbye to Our Roaring 20's

On December 14th, with a number of our wonderful friends and family, Matt and I celebrated leaving behind our 20's....

 And heading into our 30's....

IN 1920's STYLE!

We held a 1920's themed party at one of the best venues in Jackson (anyone looking for a place to have a nice event or wedding needs to check it out). It is a hidden gem in our city's downtown area. The Cumberland House is a post Civil War era home that was once owned by a Jackson doctor. We chose to have our party here b/c of its history and old fashioned style. It was simply perfect!

The house has two stories....the upstairs

with a foyer-where we had a photo booth

and two white rooms-where we had cake, champagne, 

1920's jazz music and dancing!

Then, on the lower level of the house, there were two rooms. One, had tables and chairs-where we had the food

and giggle water (aka: tasty adult beverages). Off this room was a full kitchen where we prepared food as well as a bathroom for guests to use.

Then, there was another room where we sat up a black jack table.

We were thrilled and incredibly grateful to celebrate this new era with our friends and family who attended! Everyone was asked to dress in 1920's attire and we served food that had something to do with the 1920's. Here's a group picture.

We danced, ate, drank, and were very merry. Here are some pictures from our fun night back in the 1920's.

In lieu of gifts, we asked our guests to bring cans that we donated to the RIFA soup kitchen. A HUGE thank you to Elaine, my mom, meemaw and my bestie Julie. These ladies spent time, money, and man power getting all of what you saw in those pictures, party ready. I couldn't have pulled it off without them, and for that we are extremely blessed.
