A birthday party already? My Oh My.

I can't believe it's only 4 days away. I have so many plans i still need to finish.

I don't know how i'm going to do it but i will do it!

I recently went to Zurcher's and Michael's and bought tons of supplies.
I also found some great things on Etsy that i loved.
Then again what can't you find on Etsy that you love?

Here are a couple things I have in mind:

I purchased mini clothespins to attach to the baker's twine on the balloons then clip index cards on. Then guests can write their birthday wishes for Luna. These will be a great addition to the memory book.

I wanted to make felt crowns so there was some sort of underlining theme. These seemed pretty easy. It's just a matter of taking the time to make them. I found these pictures of a girl and boy crown idea. I did want to do little boy crowns seeing as i have nephews and friends with little boys. Not sure if i'll follow through but we'll see!

I also purchased some paper pom poms at Michael's. Then found some paper lanterns with paper butterflies to attach at Zurcher's. I figured they were cute and i could put them in her room afterwards. I will say I've found many DIYs for the pom poms that were very easy! I was just in a time crunch and didn't have time to hunt down all the things i needed.


I also went to Hobby Lobby awhile back and found some great black and white party trays for the food. I found a small pink wicker basket to put the napkins and silverware in.
Again i can use the basket in her room afterwards. That was the idea when i purchased a lot of the decorations. I wanted to be able to re purpose a lot of it. Otherwise i couldn't really justify it.


Food For Thought

I'm hoping for the colors of the pink cake.
But i purchased cake pans for the size, shape, and height of the three identical cakes.

My next lovely time consuming idea is to use Mason Jars for drinking glasses. I know it's probably not the best cost wise idea given that there are over 50 guests invited. Yes, you read right that's 50. I know not all fifty will show up but i grabbed close to enough to plan on it. Now if you ever have this crazy idea like i did you'll soon realize it is very spendy! While i was shopping around for a great price; I found some by Better Homes and Gardens at Walmart that are similar to the quilted 8oz Kerr jars. I got 48 jars for $20 dollars and some change. This included the lids which isn't very easy to find for a good price.

Next i purchased some pink/white and grey/white stripe paper straws from Dime Store Buddy on Etsy. They look similar to the ones above. Then some black/white baker's twine from Zurcher's. I will use it to attach a number one on the jars like the picture above with the cheers tag.

I plan on filling the jars with some pink lemonade.

 My mom actually found me this beverage dispenser at a thrift store for $10 and it's $40 online! What a steal! I wanted  to put the lemons in there like the picture above. What a great way to make a simple thing better.

I want to do some lovely pink cake pops like these on the same grey/white paper straws.

Also some of what i keep telling people are "pizza pops". 

Again on the grey/white paper straws. 

How cute are these?

So do you feel as stressed as me? Hopefully i can pull my act together!
Pictures to follow!
