I had been planning this party 2 months prior. I was debating to have a party or not. After numerous, "You should have a party! You're turning 30!", it was decided that I would. You know me and themes...and it no doubt it my mind it HAD to be a tokidoki theme.
I have been in love with tokidoki since I saw it while on vacation in Hawaii. It was newly released as Le Sport Sac bags...after that ... my wallet has never recovered. :P
Anyways, first off, decor! What was I going to do? I contacted tokidoki if they had anything that they don't need anymore from their stores (posters, cardboards, etc). They replied that they didn't provide these for customers. I did order a box of frenzies for my party favors and they also hooked it up with stickers. Their customer service peeps were awesome! Big ups to Danielle and Trisha at their headquarters! I ended up using my tokidoki toys, skateboard decks, and print outs as my decor.
Next was the cake. I was debating also if I was going to do my own cake! Then I thought to myself about all the things I would need to do during that week, as well as make my bff's birthday cake (her bday is a day after mines!). So I started hunting for a cake decorator. I was looking for someone who had a specific style (kinda like mine). Then low and behold, Ron (the hubster), finds his friend on FB whose gf made cakes. I looked at her cakes and fell in love. A woman after my own heart! I booked her asap! Check her out at L.A. Cake !

My "Blind Box" Party favors. They either had a tokidoki pin or tokidoki frenzie. They also had the option of a bag of candy with a tokidoki sticker.
