As you've probably realized by now, one of my favorite things to do is plan! Over the next year myself, along with the majority of my friends will turn 25, which means we have to be creative in how we celebrate these milestones, while following social distancing guidelines.
My best friend, Tiana, was first to turn 25, so to help her celebrate three of us went with her to Ellijay, Georgia to celebrate her birthday in the woods. For me, milestone birthdays (or any event) are so much fun to plan, because you get to celebrate the person while also bringing in some of the things that they love.
Despite being 6 hours away, I was able to pull off a fun and stylish birthday weekend in the woods. But no good planner is a planner without the help of some awesome vendors.
This blog post will share the pictures from our weekend, the vendors we used, and so much more! I hope enjoy and don't forget to check out the vendors we used!
GIRL'S NIGHT IN
Who doesn't love a good girls' night in filled with drinks, games, matching PJs, and an amazing dinner set up!?
While two of us arrived to set-up, the other girls were greeted with Captain Morgan Caramel Apple Cider, snacks, and goody bags–which included hangover kits, custom pajamas, tumbler, shot glass. mask, and slippers. We spent the night laughing, dancing, taking pictures, and having a girls' sleepover–adult style.
To make-sure we had somewhere fun to take pictures, I brought my ring light and created a faux boxwood backdrop to create an easy photobooth with our phones.
Thanks to Sleepovers & Co., based in Atlanta, GA, we were able to have the best luxury indoor picnic. The girls at Sleepovers & Co. were absolutely amazing from start to finish, they helped create exactly what I envisioned to the browns and neutral tones to the pampas.

WINE TASTING
The next day we headed to Engelheim Vineyards, about 10 min from our cabin! We had a lot of fun tasting different wines, and were ultimately surprised about what we enjoyed when it comes to wine.
Unfortunately since we went to the vineyard in December there were no vines to look at, but don't worry we'll have an update for you this summer.
GAMES, GAMES, AND MORE GAMES!
Due to the pandemic the theme of Tiana's birthday weekend was a chill quiet weekend where we could have a fun time together. Here's some of the games we played, our personal favorite was Buzzed!
ARRIVAL BAGS
One of my favorite things to do is to create gift bags! Unfortunately, since I was in the middle of finals' season I ordered the majority of the girls' arrival bags from Etsy. While the majority of the items arrived on time, some of it didn't arrive until we got back due to issues with different shipping services.
I've added links and pictures of everything that I put in their arrival bags! The shot glasses were made by a local vender, who did an amazing job!
No girls' trip would be a girls' trip if something didn't go wrong. So as luck would have it the make-up bags we ordered weren't going to arrive on time so we cancelled them, and I accidentally wrote two of the same names on the custom order of tumblers. Lucky for me, I have a Cricut Maker so I was able to make the products before we left for our trip.
Despite everything that has happened this year with the pandemic, we had an absolute awesome time celebrating Tiana's Weekend in the Woods.
What's your favorite part of a girls' trip?
