50's themed birthday party!

I have no new posts... I have been extremely busy finalizing all my plans for my wedding. Now that its over I wanna post something I haven't shared before. So for my little ones first birthday I went a little crazy and here's what I came up with ...

Here are the invitations I made. They took a while to make but they turned out just how I envisioned it. 




The initial set up...





 
I made these sugar cookies ! Overall I was pretty happy with it. 
 We had soooo many treats! 






This is what the gift bags had in them. Everything was purchased from Oriental Trading Co.

Dom's Space Themed 5th Birthday Party

Last September my son decided he wanted to do a space themed party! So I looked all over Pinterest and here is what I came up with ! This was before my blog so, here it is ! 

I have been dabbling in the art of sugar cookies  and I am by far no pro but I thought they came out pretty cute and they were really yummy (or so I was told). I tried to make them as cute as possible with my beginner skills and probably not all the tools necessary here is what they came to look like.

These bottom 2 were my favorites. They came out just how I wanted, for the earth one, I let the icing dry a bit and then with my finger I dabbed it, I think it added a little something to it :)

I thought this was a really cute way to display the cupcakes (since we decided not to do a big cake), I found these at a closeout craft sale! 


 Now I like to do a little activity, so I found these ceramic robots on Oriental Trading Co. and purchased enough for all the kids, then I went to the dollar Tree and found the paint and bought enough for the kids. This was a little pricey but I really like the outcome. This is my sons. 
The house was decorated in informational posters, a lot of stuff was bought on Oriental Trading Co. We bought the inflatable solar system, glow in the dark galaxies, it was great! We had different sized rockets (Hobby Lobby) that we shot off throughout the party, a rocket bouncer! It all came together perfectly and my son ran up to us at the end of the day and couldn't stop thanking us for the awesome party, and has been asking to do it again this year !! 

Hope all is well!

Happy 2nd Birthday Emily! (minnie theme)

My Baby girl turned 2!
I cannot believe my baby girl is 2 years old! I have been planning her birthday party and really tried to make a lot of stuff myself. But I got so excited that I got a little carried away! (Can you blame me?) 

So, I had a great idea to use a local business as a location for my daughter's birthday party. The place is Classicakes, and they teach classes on decorating. They also sell all supplies necessary when baking anything! They do cupcake tower parties and thought this is a great idea and something that's not done daily! I decided to do a Minnie Mouse theme. It's age appropriate and so many cute ideas on pinterest! So out of all the ideas here is what I came up with! 

This is my baby girl's birthday outfit!  I had the outfit made by a local business lady and brought my ideas to life! 


 

I wanted to do an all girls birthday party! For all the little girls that attended I wanted to give them all Minnie Ears and an apron. I found an inexpensive way to do this by having my sister in law make the ears and I ironed on the Minnie silhouette using the Circut and Cricut craftroom. I also had (what I think is an ingenious) idea of making the bow on the minnie ears removable for daily use! We put a loop using the felt material in the middle and putting the bows on alligator clips! 


I also made the banner using my Cricut! I know it may look like I am crafty do it all mom but I started making stuff 6 months ago. I worked at a slow pace, making sure I didn't overwhelm myself. I made the sugar cookies and used disco dust to give them that sparkly look! I used an used damp makeup brushed to paint the dust on! 


The girls decorated cupcakes and melted candy into molds. Once they finished the cupcakes they would put it on the tower, making a cupcake tower. NO NEED FOR CAKE! 

For party favors I bought the chinese take out boxes at the dollar tree 3 for $1. I used some ribbon as handles which added a nice touch (I think). And again using my computer I made the inner circle label and had it printed at kinkos for that nice shine. I cut out the pink outer circle with the cricut.


Inside I filled it with all things from the dollar tree and most minnie theme::
  1. bubbles (bought stickers and put minnie on all of them)
  2. pencils (the ones with pull out lead)  
  3. stickers
  4. flying discs
  5. tons of stamps
  6.  a ring pop
  7. And a notebook 
If you have any questions on anything please ask. I can give a step by step on how I made it!
