I didn’t want it to feel cheesy or childish, but I also didn’t want to under-do it, as we were inviting a lot of people and we really wanted it to feel special!

Dance&Shine - Lauren is turning 9!

Lauren’s “Dance&Shine” 9th birthday brought fun 90’s hip hop vibes to life! Hosted at Artist Avenue (a local dance studio) the party featured a dance lesson and fun games — plus sparkly decor and colorful themed snacks that kept the celebration energetic and nostalgic. Lauren and I love coming up with little catch-phrases for her parties (and we love when they rhyme!) so DANCE&SHINE was such a fun way to celebrate her 9th birthday! And what better way to combine a dance party with turning 9…adding in a little 90’s hip hop vibes!
