1983 Prom
Believe it or not, Jon never went to a prom growing up, let alone a school dance or even a high school football game. Months ago I had started throwing around ideas for his 30th birthday party and thought, "Hey! Jon never went to a prom, I am going to throw him one". And there's nothing more that Jon loves than dressing up so to spice things up, we decided to do a 1983 prom, the year Jon was born. Jon turned 30 last Thursday and since I was traveling, I knew I wanted to make it extra special for him. I surprised him with a note and gift for each day of the week... starting with his favorite snacks and ending with an iPad (to which he exclaimed, this will be good for the baby to play with! First world problems?!).
Back to the party...I will let the pictures do the talking...
I borrowed a dress from my mom that I had tried on a few weeks ago. Let's just say that it was like using the jaws of life to get that thing around my growing belly on Saturday night haha. And yep Jon's mustache was real.

We are so lucky to be surrounded by family and friends that love us and helped celebrate Jon's birthday, it was an absolute blast. It was kind of nostalgic knowing this was the last big party I would throw before our baby boy is born and as bad as my little tootsies hurt the next morning, it was totally worth it! Jon is worth celebrating every.single.day.

Hi! I found you from watching House Hunters on HGTV! I am obsessed with that show and HGTV and was catching up on some that I DVR'd. When you mentioned that you're a blogger, I thought, "I have to follower her!" since I'm a blogger, too. (Thepinteresthousewife.blogspot.com)
You two are so cute. Congrats on everything!
hahaha looks like so much fun!! That mustache kills me! And his patterned leggings? Seriously? lol So glad it turned out perfect!
Such a neat birthday idea! Looks like you guys had a blast! My hubby just got an ipad a few months back and one of the first things he said too, was "this will be great for Christian to play with someday!" ha ha At least they make good protector things for kids to use them...hopefully not too much though :)
Precious! I will have to be sure to keep this in mind for the boy's birthday coming up in August - can't ever go wrong with an 80s party!
What an awesome party idea! Every single one of y'all look great haha Great costumes :)

You guys are the cutest. What a fun idea for a party theme!! Looks like you all had a blast.
You know your husband is going to be a great father when he thinks to share his iPad with the future baby!! Love that!!
This is such a great party idea! Happy 30th to Jon!
I love that you guys like to dress up, makes life so fun huh :)
Gah! Wish I were there, obviously. It's basically my life goal to attend a costume party with the Harts, but now I get extra jealous since my sister can go without me!
If I do say so this looks more fun than a real prom!
