Summer birthday parties are the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with family and friends. We absolutley love this darling pirate birthday bash Ashley Stubbs and Kendall Poole Event Planning threw for Ashley's precious little boy Bryan Hani. The Jackson Yacht club was the perfect setting for this fun get together. Keep reading for more!
{Tell us a little bit about yourself!}
My name is Ashley Stubbs! I’m originally from Louisiana but I’ve called Jackson my home for around ten years now. I am a partner at Butler Snow in Ridgeland, Mississippi. I’m a single mother to my amazing son, Bryan Hani.
{Tell us a little bit about the party!}
We were celebrating Bryan Hani’s fourth birthday. I decided to have the party at the Jackson Yacht club from 10 to 12 in the afternoon. I've learned that it’s hard to throw a fun summer birthday party. It’s so hot outside yet it is really difficult to find an activity indoors that will keep the kids entertained for the duration of the event! That’s ultimately why we decided to do a pool party. However, I didn’t want to do a typical pool party, I really wanted it to have some special, memorable elements. Kendall Poole Event Planning (KPEP) helped me bring the Pirate theme to life in such a fun, creative way!

{How did you decide on the theme for the party?}
Bryan Hani is currently obsessed with two things: pirates and Star Wars. I went with pirates because I thought the theme lent itself well to the venue. The Jackson Yacht club is right on the reservoir so the pirate theme felt just right!
I wanted to see the theme incorporated into as many facets of the party as possible. Beyond the invitations, the napkins, centerpieces, food labels, and party favors all reflected Bryan Hani’s love for pirates.
{What were some of your favorite details from the event?}
I absolutely loved the centerpieces that Anna Britain with KPEP made for the tables! I really wanted to see treasure chests at the party but didn’t think it was sensible to purchase any of the ones I saw online. Anna Britain took small styrofoam ice chests and spray painted them brown. She also fashioned the straps out of duct tapes and push pins. From there, she filled the chests with gold coins and beads. I thought they turned out to be just the cutest DIY project.

{What advice would you give to someone planning a similar event?}
Honestly the best advice I could give to someone trying to host a similar event would be to hire the help you need! I am so incredibly busy with work and traveling for my job, organizing this party would not have been possible without the KPEP team. Hiring an event planner takes so much stress out of the planning process and allows you to enjoy the event on the day of as much as possible. It was such a relief not to have to worry about the logistics of the party. I was able to spend time making memories with my son and our guests.
