{Party Planning} Fairy Garden Inspiration ~ Custom Made for My Birthday Girl from The Birthday Girl


Have you visited Becca from Birthday Girl, yet? I've written about her before, but just in case you aren't familiar, head over and check out her fabulous party blog! Becca just started offering custom party inspiration board design service! (Great idea!) If you need ideas for a party, shower or wedding, she will create a custom board based on your direction, including photos, current sources and ideas! I asked Becca to create a board for Kate's upcoming Fairy Garden party, and boy, did she deliver!
