Fall Birthday Planning

Our little baby is almost one and I have had lots of planning to do.  Here are few things in progress.

1- B-day Banner is made. Except for hanging the pennants on ribbon.  We found some nice chocolate brown and orange and white polka dot paper from Michaels and scored some brown and orange plates from the $1 section at Target.

2-  The 1 circles are made for the cupcakes

                  
This fabric down below that the # 1 circles are sitting on happen to be the fabric for the sleeves of Madelyn's dress.

3. Cupcake Liners are bought.  I originally thought about getting polka dot cupcake liners but changed my mind since the circles would have polka dots too.  Plus, I am hoping to dress up the cupcake stand with leftover trim from the party hat.  Speaking of trim... check out the super clearance trim Michaels for $1. Here are some damask chocolate brown liners we found at Michaels as well.  Gotta love that place.

4. Birthday Hat Trimmings which look like they were hand made to match her dress!  What a find.  We snagged up some yellow and orange pom pom fringe.  Some Ric Rac Orange Ribbon, some fun yellow ribbon that looks like a ruffle almost and some brown sequins.

Here is a close up of the trim...

My mom actually gave me this cute little bud vases for my Birthday few backs and thought they could some how be used at the party.

So, there you have it. Lots left to do but the stages of planning are on there way.

Simplicity

I love the idea of using mason jars and filling them with coffee beans and flowers. You can buy bulk coffee from any wholesaler for a good price. You can use them in apothecary jars, mason jars, regular vases, etc.  It is a great idea for any party but it has been a hit when I have used them for baby showers and wedding arrangements. 

Decorations for Summer Party, Birthdays, Wedding or Baby Showers....

These flower pom pom kits from Martha Stewart come in all different colors. They make the best decor for parties. We used white ones for the recent Gender Reveal Party we did. I shall share pictures soon! This party set up is gorgeous, don't you think???

Theme for the week

Valentines Day is this week. Therefore, I thought I would finish out this week with inspired design that is related. If you missed my post yesterday, go check out the Blushing Bride Post. Here is a designed inspired table scape you could do for a bridal shower, Valentines party, or for a girly baby shower.

I am going to a close friends babyshower this weekend and I thought it was only fitting to stir up some ideas for babyshowers. Tell me what you think. Leave a comment on the blog and let me know what your favorite was and why. Do you think you could replicate these?

Here is a great way to get a cupcake tree if you were not as lucky to score one at your wedding!


How cute would these be if part of your baby shower theme was chocolate brown? I mean how girly would chocolate brown and pink be? Very.

This pacifer cupcakes would sure put up a buzz at the shower...


Adorable alphabet block letters done in a buttercream icing look yummy and pretty.
