St. Patricks Day Sip and See

Happy St. Patricks Day! Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of putting together an Irish Sip and See. It was only a small group of friends, but we had a wonderful time and got to see the most precious baby. 

Here are the Details

It first started with a little boy holding a clover and the word So Lucky. What a perfect theme, because the mother and father feel So Lucky to have this little bundle of joy in their lives. 

Of course we had to have a photo booth with our Precious little Leprechaun.

 I got the free printable banner for the photo booth from Paging All Moms. You can find them here. I added some black and white polkadot ribbon and sparkly clovers found at the dollar tree. 

And we can't forget about the wonderful food that Tamika's friend Jonni provided. Key lime pie complete with a clover lime, Irish soda bread just to name a few.

 Then of course the alcohol. What would the see be without the sip?

By the end of the night we were all a little done with the sipping and decided to sit down for the last photo booth picture. 

 Hope you enjoyed and again, Happy St. Patricks Day!

The Little Boy was purchased from Silhouette Online Store.

Monster Glow in the Dark Party

I recently celebrated my sons 8th birthday with a Monster Glow in the Dark Party.  We had a blast. I began planning for the party with the color pallet of Orange, Green, Purple, Chevron Black and White and anything glow in the dark. 

The party with a candy invitation. 

The Centerpiece was an exagerrated blow up of the monsters on the invitation. I got these monsters free from clipartpal 

 The party location had a black light throughout which made anything white or glow in the dark light up. Check out the sign below. I did add glow in the dark puffy paint (found at Michael's)

 I couldn't get enough of Chevron. I ordered the chevron paper for Hobby Lobby. This wrapping paper was think and heavy. Loved it. It worked for the best backdrop and great for wrapping the rice crispy treats and oreo mummy pops.

The cake, rice crispy treats and mummy pops were made by Sugar Fairy. They looked great and were delicious.

 The favor bags were purchased after Halloween for 70% off at Michaels. It pays to start early!

The location was the Monster Glow in the Dark Mini Golf 

 

They had great decorated party room. So all I needed was some quick centerpieces and a couple of balloons. 

 

We love the glow in the dark shirts that I ordered from Spreadshirt 

 Now that Bailey is 8…the loving pictures that I use to take after every birthday party are no longer. He told me that he was so over it…lol…but I still made him take it anyway. 

They allowed my son to make a glow in the dark hand print. So Cute! 

Royal Baby Shower

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of decorating a baby shower for my Best Friend Tamika. The smile on her and Stephens face was priceless. Enjoy some of the pictures below. 

 The Dessert Buffet

 One of the activties before the guest of honors arrived. We decorated an Alphabet Book for the baby. We had some very creative pages. It got very serious..people were searching the web for words. 

We also had a Royal Wishing Tree with paper baby carriages and pacifiers
