Party Details & Pictures

August 17, 2013

Well Kate’s 2nd birthday has come and gone, so I thought I’d share some of the details from her day. We did a much smaller scale birthday party this year (just family that lives in the area) but we still made it special for Kate. Here are some party details, and then pictures from Kate’s big day.

The Invitation:
For obvious reasons, I blurred out any of the identifying information. These were designed by Ashley, from PaperDime Designs. She was so easy to work with and I loved how they turned out. She sent me the digital file and then I had them printed at CVS. Note to self- I’ll be using Walgreen’s in the future. I’ve used Walgreen’s for almost everything until this. CVS took for-ev-er to ship these to me.

Theme:
I think from above, you can tell that we did a picnic/BBQ theme. Pretty basic. Checkered tablecloths, burlap table runner on the food table, and lots of food. I did dress up some Mason’s jars for the cups.

For our mantle, I made a banner and a chalk “stat” board.

Food:

In keeping with the picnic/backyard BBQ theme, we had BBQ sandwiches, fruit salad with cream cheese dip, chips, veggies and dip, pickles, and sliced tomatoes.

And one of our friends made Kate’s super cute birthday cake, complete with ladybugs and ants marching to the picnic. We also had cinnamon bun flavored cupcakes, which are my most favorite cupcakes ever! Delicious.
