Capri Sun Catch a Wave Party

This weekend I held my Capri Sun

End of Summer party for
HouseParty.com.

I kept everything simple and fun
I used a colorful polka dot backdrop for my table
These colors were carried out onto the snack table.

The menu was simple
Coral Chips were Cheetos
Surfin' Snacks were Chex Mix
Party Popcorn and
Corndogs served straight up!

I always try to display the food
in a way that is appealing to the eyes.
Food is always fun on a stick so Corndogs
made a perfect food to display upright!

The Drinks were of course Capri Suns!

Capris Sun sent me a party package
that included Pencil Pouches, Magnets, and
Frisbees for all
I added in a few extras to top it off.

The labels were from one of my new
favorite etsy stores M Bradley Designs
Check out all her printables here!

The kids enjoyed a fun filled day
to end the summer!

I had so much fun hosting and can't wait
to host another party for House Party!

You should all give it a try!

Wipe Out Pool Party

Memorial Day was my daughters 2nd birthday and what better way to spend it than with friends and family! We had a water slide party and the kids...of all ages...had a blast! We kept the food simple since the party was at 3:30 by serving a veggie tray and fruit bowl! The kids goodie table outside had swim ring donuts a.k.a. powdered donuts, rice crispy treats, swedish fish, and of course goldfish. They even make starfish "goldfish" now! The kids filled the beach ball cups with lemonade or strawberry ice tea. All of the details are below and I hope that you to can host your own beach/pool/water themed party!

The Birthday Girl herself!

The invite.......I loved the cute little pink fish with a bikini on! They have blue fish too for all of you with boys!

Taylor's favorite Summer Treats Cake

Strawberries, Ice Cream, Popsicles,

and more Popsicles....Her true favorite!

Cake by Cooper Street Bakery!

Highly recommend if you are in the DFW metro area!

Kids table and chair backs.

I made the tablecloth from striped material I found at Joann's fabric with a cute little felt border! I tied up Lobsters, Crabs, Starfish and Seahorses with tulle to the backs of the chairs. The kids got a kick out of them and loved them so much they wanted to take them home! Who wouldn't want their own Seahorse?

I decorated the drink table with seashells and these very cute felt flip flops that I found at Hobby Lobby for only a $1! I tied up the utensils with ribbon and placed them in a decorated green tin bucket. I made a lollipop flower pot from a clay pot. I spray painted it and put foam dots all over, placed a piece of red styrofoam inside and instant lollipop pot! There was not one left! And lastly the birthday banner! This was so fun to make! There are so many cute Etsy stores that you can order these from BUT, I thought I would try it. It was easy to make an very affordable! I think I spent $5!

I found these beach ball cups at birthday in a box...

I think they were a big hit..not one left behind!!

Twinkies as Pineapples?

These are Genius!
How easy would it be to create these little pineapples!
Chocolate drizzled lines, almond slivers and rosemary sprigs!
Put them on a plate of brown sugar mixed with white sugar to create the sand.
Pick up a couple of paper palm trees and instant centerpiece for the kids table!
How long do you think them would last?
