a simple anniversary celebration

happy thursday, friends.
this week is just trucking right along.
it helps that we had a holiday on monday. ;)

remember when i showed you that simple little doily garland i made for an anniversary celebration?

i thought i'd show you a few more pics from that night.

we are on a very tight budget due to putting away every penny for a future house down payment.
therefore, i wanted to try to make the celebration thoughtful and fun while not spending very much money.
honestly, i enjoy that kind of challenge.

all of their dating and honeymoon photos were in one of those old peel & stick page albums.
it was browning and worse for the wear so i took all of the photos out and put them in a new, archival quailty album.
it was a simple, kakhi linen book from target.
i had one of their engagement photos enlarged to 5X7 and then framed so it could be a gift and party decoration all in one. ;)

i made this little stand by gluing a dollar tree candle stick to a dollar tree platter.
the nuts and mints were a nod to their wedding reception.
i think it turned out pretty sweet and anniversary-ish. ;)

we had chicken tacos with all the fixings for dinner and then finished the night with cake and a chocolate fountain {borrowed from a sweet friend}.

it was a great night full of eating, talking, & reminiscing.

and now i want to buy 15 more platters and candle sticks to make loads of cake stands. :)
