Somehow I managed to keep this Long Beach Island event held at the LBI Historical Museum under wraps for 5 months! I had so much fun working with Rick and Sharon to plan details that would surprise their friends. They wanted to plan a really special event for a really special group of friends and family. These families have been renting the same house and spending a week together every summer for the past ten years. So, it’s official, I believe I am the first to coin the term: Vacation-aversary. Yup. It’s gonna be a thing. And I’m getting it copy righted. Rick and Sharon wanted to plan a surprise dinner party filled with elegant, beachy, details that centered around the Victorian home they have been vacationing in for a decade.
So, here is all the inspiration for this Long Beach Island event at the LBI Historical Society’s Museum. You know you’re going to have a lot of fun planning an event when they tell you that they want the adorable Beach Haven Victorian they have been renting for a decade to be the star. All I had to do was come up with unique ways to incorporate this special home into their event. They wanted “elegant, special, unique, beachy” details that would surprise and spoil their guests.
So, without further a-do, here’s their Long Beach Island event inspiration for a surprise dinner party at the LBI Historical Museum. And stay tuned, because in a few short weeks, I will be sharing the beautiful photos from Melanie Cassie Photography. And all the amazing details, including a custom painting by Bunkerfish. The stunning recreation of the Beach Haven Victorian vacation home as a cake! And the perfect place cards with calligraphy from The Shaded Maple.
