Now, before anyone comes for me—this is absolutely no shade to nail salons! There is something so relaxing about sitting in a salon chair and being pampered.

Surprisingly, finding inspiration for men’s birthday parties was much harder than I expected. Most of what I found online either felt overly themed or looked too casual for the milestone occasion I had in mind.

The result was a beautiful...]]></description><link>https://melissashannon316.wixsite.com/fringe-lifestyle/post/how-i-planned-a-classy-navy-gold-white-40th-birthday-party-for-my-husband</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a2d6cad675ca08c42a9bb33</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Jun 2026 16:07:46 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fce48d_4fe473fdc5bd4d45aa94e7abb99a535f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>melissashannon316</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Rifle Paper Co Inspired 70th Birthday Party Celebration]]></title><description><![CDATA[When it came time to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday, choosing a theme honestly felt easy.

I usually find an inspiration photo or two and then build a party or event based on that. But honestly… I came up almost empty-handed. There just wasn’t much out there.
