2nd Birthday Party

Nemo Under the Water Theme

Here is the invite I made:  On the outside Dory is pop out, jelly fish is glued right onto the invite.  When you open the invite it pretty much opens up to a 3d pop out of Nemo and some sea weeds.  Those took forever to complete, couldn't wait to be done with them.  But overall was happy with the outcome of all decor.

This is the cake I made.  All decor is made from fondant.  All edible.  I used Styrofoam in the bottom layers, instead of cake to avoid wasting cake.  I had made some mini cakes and cake pops too. 

 

My Husband and I made a wooden water wave stand for all the goodies for kids.  I made the pink tissue paper jelly fish (which took forever to complete) I was gonna make 10 to 20 of them, but after taking to much time, I only made the three :(  I order some fish online to add to my decor.  Our sweet table was about 10 feet long with all sorts of goodies.

Out door Decor:  We covered most of the walls with water backdrop and taped fish to them to give a under water feeling.  The balloons were tied in rows of string to give a water wave in the air, this way our guests would feel as they are under water.  We had a bubble blower on top of our patio roof blowing for an extra addition to the under water party.  We added clear balloons to the trampoline to represent bubbles (kids had fun jumping in with them).  We made wooden Nemo, Dory, & squirt, but don't have a good visual of them. Round tables had fish net in the center with few shells.  I  placed some vases in the center with green lighting for night time and tied some clear balloons to them to represent bubbles.  We also have added  blue lighting around the fencing, so at night it looked like waves.  To entertain the kids we had  Maria from Joyful Faces doing face painting and balloons for the kids.  The kids had a blast!!

1st Birthday Party

SESAME STREET THEME

This is the invitation I created for my son's First Birthday.  Cookie Monster was swinging by a ribbon attached.  Elmo and Big Bird were pop outs.

Here is the cake!  All fondant, hand made fondant decor.

Here is the decor.  I had created these wooden sesame street characters.  I drew them out and my husband had cut them out for me, then I painted them.  It was a lot of work, but well worth it at the end.  We used them for picture taking for all guests.  We had a live petting zoo for the kids to enjoy.  Everyone loved it and had a great time!!  Colors I used were Yellow, Red, & Blue.

My Baby Shower

Here is what I did for my baby shower decor Hosted by my mom & sister:

The invitations were little diaper bags stuffed with tissue paper and paper onesie that was a invite (attached was a little clothes pin), and a little monkey that you can pull out from the front slot of the bag.

                                        The Decor colors were Brown, Baby Blue, & Apple green.  I had limes in the vases with fresh flowers which gave me the green color, brown satin runners and sashes, blue plates and favors, and green napkins.  I also had placed blue & green circle cut outs all over the brown table runner to bring in more of the colors.  And one circle had written BABY on it, it was turned upside down so no one would see it.  This was used as part of a game too.  Each plate had a cut out of a baby placed on top.  The babies diapers were removable for a game, who ever had the dirty diaper won!  It turned out really nice!!

                                    

I had made these fondant babies for the cupcakes

                                              Here are some additional photo's I thought I'd share.  This was our last baby and we wanted to take some professional pictures to capture the moment.
