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!

This past weekend, SHE created the sleepover of your childhood dreams, for a special young girl’s 9th Birthday party! Growing up, having a sleepover with your besties was one of the most special times, memories are made at these sleepovers that last a lifetime.

Von Walter + Funk provided the most epic balloons, full of color, stars + unicorns. Don’t forget, every sleepover needs some amazing snacks + Bella Christie + Lil’s Z’s Bakery provided custom birthday girl cookies for everyone to enjoy. SHE was so happy to be part of this special sleepover + hopes Jayda had the 9th Birthday party of her dreams!
