Emmett's black tie birthday!

Jill and I made these for Emmett's first birthday.  Black tie was a perfect theme for this little boy whose life truly is a miracle.  His first weeks of life were very scary and so this birthday represented so much more than a fun theme.  It was amazing to be a part of.  I loved seeing all the tuxes including Emmett himself and all the ladies in their pretty dresses.  What a perfect way to celebrate his life.  I really loved this idea!  There was yummy appetizers, dancing, a silent auction and watching the little man dig into his cake in just a diaper and his bow tie.  SO ADORABLE!!

We made these toppers out of black chocolate.  We used a star mold and traced the black tie onto wax paper.

Happy Birthday sweet Emmett!
