I’ve been thinking about this home café idea for Adrian’s birthday for months ☕🤎
I actually designed most of the creative stuff way ahead of time… the logo, stickers, menus, signs, labels… all of it. But for some reason, I always do this thing where I get the idea early and then wait until the very last minute to actually start preparing 😂
We’ve already hosted 2 Christmas parties and a 4th of July party, and every single time I tell myself I’ll prepare early… yet somehow, I still end up waiting until the last minute 😅
Between work, deadlines, everyday life, and trying to have some kind of social life, I ended up doing almost everything the week of his birthday. Printing signs, putting stickers on cups, making the magnets, cutting things out, organizing supplies… basically turning our house into a tiny print shop for a few days 😅
But honestly, once I started putting everything together, I remembered why I love doing it so much. I love the creative side of it all… making the tiny café details, matching everything together, and creating little signs that people probably only look at for two seconds 😂
Also… I’m really not good at filming BTS content because once I’m in “creative mode,” I completely forget to record anything. So here’s the little behind-the-scenes footage I managed to get while designing, printing, crafting, and setting everything up ☕✨
