6 months in the making

My graduation party has been on my mind for quite some time. And I have continuously had little thoughts floating in my head for the big day. It was exactly what I was hoping for!

The theme was a vintagy-adult carnival, and I got my graduation announcement ideas from vistaprint.com (whom I LOVE).
