The Hobart

October 4, 2016

I met up at the initial consult with the sweetest, most soft-spoken southern lady.  She begins to tell me all about her handsome hubby, how he’s turning 40 this year …. and she would love to throw him a surprise party but she’s not quite sure what the “theme” should be … or if there should be one.  so …. as I would normally do, I ask about the person … what’s he like? what are his favorite hobbies? …. etc.

WELL …. the answers surprised me …  to say the least.

Here are just a few:

1. he likes ‘lil wayne AND pavarotti
2. he likes hermes (and he owns hermes pieces)
3. he’s a HUGE social butterfly (i.e. could be the honorary mayor of charlotte)
4. HUGE panther fan
5. had a pet tarantula and a pet snake
6. loves squirrel hunting
7. double lettered in fencing and cheerleading

I will keep the rest of his “likes” under wraps – but you get that this guy is a CHARACTER, right?!?

I totally had my work cut out for me.  The brainstorming commenced.

All I could think of is – this guy is someone EVERYONE would love knowing … and once they knew him, they probably loved him, loved being around him, loved hanging out with him, loved his infectious character …. so I blurted out the most random idea for an invitation and the whole event took on a life of it’s own.

We came up with a fun “fan club” party invitation since he seemed to have a huge friend base … and let’s face it … who wouldn’t want a party like this …. CHECK IT OUT!

The handsome Greg Olsen made an appearance (swoon)

THIS CAKE!  Describes all of his likes + passions … served by none other than “Lil-Lil Wayne”.
