Pittsburgh Event Planner | Harley’s Sweet 16

*Cue MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 theme song* SHE is taking you inside Harley’s Super Sweet & Lilac themed Sweet 16. This party was a blast to plan + a blast to attend. As soon as guests walked into the backyard of Harley’s family home, they saw the most amazing shades of purple balloon bunches spilling over the pergola + floating in the pool with gigantic foam letters spelling out the Birthday girl’s name. From the make your own taco spread to the custom juice boxes to the Cupcake ATM…yes, a real ATM for cupcakes…guests did not go hungry. With DJ Cake spinning hits throughout the night + guests sitting for a caricature that turned into a custom phone case there was something for everyone. Happy 16th Birthday Harley! SHE hopes this party was as sweet as you!

Pittsburgh Event Planner | Sienna's 5th Birthday Carnival

Step right up to Sienna’s 5th Birthday Carnival! SHE loves our clients that become family + creating forever memories for them means so much to us. For Sienna’s 5th Birthday, SHE went all out with a backyard Carnival!

As soon as guests walked up to the driveway, they were greeted by a clown on stilts + got to play custom Carnival games such as Ring Toss, Balloon Pop, + Dunk a Duck. Then, after walking up to the custom Ticket Booth, they entered the balloon lined tent + made their way to the backyard, but not before grabbing a sweet treat off of the tiger caged dessert table. Once in the backyard, they grabbed a custom drink from the bar + hopped into the pool. It was a perfect summer party + SHE can’t wait to make more memories with this family!

Pittsburgh Event Planner | Simon's Speedway Birthday Party

Start your engines + get in gear for Simon’s 2nd Birthday! SHE loves when we can be part of our client’s celebrations throughout the years. We have been there + grown with the Arias family throughout two baptism’s + multiple birthday parties that were nothing short of fabulous.

We raced into Simon’s 2nd Birthday with our sport cars + kept the race going with amazing custom desserts from Bella Christie + Lil Z’s bakery. From stop sign brownies, to car tire donuts, to speed limit cookies, it was a delicious stop at the race track. Though Simon is growing up TWO fast, SHE can’t wait to dream up + plan more parties for the Arias family.

Pittsburgh Event Planner | Sofia's 3rd Birthday Party

Sofia's 3rd Birthday was a PAW-ty! The Paw Patrol took over Urban Air Trampoline Park for Sofia's big day + Skye from the Paw Patrol dog squad made a special guest appearance. With the help of MissElaineous Balloons, Skye was able to fly in on her jetpack + soar over Sofia's fabulous dessert table. The {SHE} team made sure no small detail was forgotten at this PAW-ty. Each of Sofia's guests got to eat like a dog for a day using either a hot pink or blue dog bowl + then drink out of a white dog bone. The dessert table was filled with custom PAW-ty teats from our favorite bakery, Bella Christie + Little Z's Sweet Boutique. From the tennis ball cake pops to the brightly colored dog paw print cookies, no guest left hungry. Thank you to Studio Hayes Photography for capturing all of the gorgeous photos below.
