![]() ![]() Desserts were the most amazing ube cookies and an alternating chocolate/vanilla smash cake made by a friend I'd met at a wedding I coordinated. Food! We had it catered by a local Korean BBQ place and had a DIY bibimbap bar, which was a huge hit. Rather than wasting time and energy on traditional Korean bean towers (dolgoim) I used vinyl letters on the chambray, hung on handmade wooden hangers. Black/white and gray chambray was used to soften the overall look - used as a welcome banner as well as name banners behind the cake table. I'm sure you know the Korean tradition of picking an item that represents his future, and after a mega-meltdown, he chose a gavel! A lot of the signage wording was written tongue-in-cheek to fit our personalities and infuse some humor. I also used outlines for a lot of the typographic elements to play off of the idea that his life is his to fill as he sees fit. Theme-wise it was black and white (my favorite color palette) and even though I mostly do wedding designs/calligraphy/hand lettering, I kept it super modern with bold typography, starting with the invitations - the enclosure and bow were made to resemble a 'hanbok'. I really wanted to make this a party that didn't scream "KIDS' PARTY" and keep it really clean with a lot of personal, handmade touches. I chose this awesome local play space called the Rec Room in Berkeley, CA that has a lot of the modern industrial elements that I loved - string lights, reclaimed wooden bars and tables, and these bright yellow metal chairs.
