Super simple pool party this year! It was really weird not staying up until midnight the night before a party and only doing one table! I purchased ride on sharks for the kids to play with as well as pool noodles at Wal-Mart. I used my own console table and make the backdrop from a foam board poster. The only decor I bought was the wooden sharks from Etsy.
Summer is here and I am loving being out of school and enjoying every minute with my family. I am so excited to share with all of you my popsicle pool party. This party is sure to get anyone into the summer season! First of all, what is a pool party with out an adorable huge pool float! These days the huge pool floats are all the rage, so I had to get one. I found this popsicle pool float on Amazon. My party table started off with this amazing tassel garland from The Flair Exchange. I just love their tassel garland! They have the best color combinations to choose from. You can also design your own garland! The colors in this particular garland remind me of yummy popsicle flavors. Delicious sugar cookies are always a must on my dessert tables. I had a lot of fun making sugar cookies into popsicles! I cut out the sugar cookies into popsicles using a tombstone cookie cutter. After the cookies were cool I used my buttercream frosting to adhere the popsicle stick to the back of each! I then decorated and sprinkled the tops with the cutest sprinkles from Sweets and Treats Boutique. Next, I made delicious vanilla cupcakes. I topped each vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting and the same gorgeous sprinkles I used on my cookies. I also made these adorable popsicle cupcake toppers using my Cricut Explore. I hot glued a popsicle stick to the back of each popsicle top. I then decorated each with the left over sprinkles from my cupcakes. I just love the way they turned out!Of course I needed popsicles on my dessert table at my popsicle pool party! I love these adorable pink mini buckets from Oriental Trading. I used these adorable mini buckets as the individual ice buckets. I added a little bit of ice to each bucket and placed each popsicles in the ice.These mini gumball machines are always a huge hit with the kids at any party! Fill them with any color candy to match your party theme. I used light blue and pink sixlets in mine. I hope you loved this popsicle pool party that would be so perfect for a fun poolside summer birthday!
I wanted to create my own spin on the very popular “winter wonderland” party theme for Ashley’s 4th birthday party.
A Mermaid Under the Sea Birthday Party that guests would experience from the moment they received the invitations.
This was my eldest daughter’s 6th birthday party. It would be her last party before becoming a big sister and we wanted to let her have the lime light one last time before she had to share LOL
One of our most memorable moments of 2012 was our daughter, Harper Rose’s 1st Birthday Celebration! Although a nod to her first 365 days of youth, we wanted this celebration to be about all of us, and the fact that we made it through the first year of parenthood!
Her birthday is in the dead of summer here in Arizona so options are limited! I began brainstorming a few days before the event… HA! Kidding- I pretty much started brainstorming our first night in the hospital. If you can’t tell by now, that kind of move is all my style! We came up with a Dive- In Movie theme where our adult friends could lounge in the pool and stay cool and our friends with kids could enjoy the movie on the big screen; we were thinking beautiful summer night, huge projection movie screen, swimming, floaties, movie candy and concessions and ice cold Kool-aid (and adult refreshments)!
A classic, first birthday splash party with a pastel pink, aqua and yellow color theme!
