I still can't believe my baby is two and The Party is all over. Yesterday's post showed some of the crafty, Pinterest-inspired decor, but here are some more details.
 |
The kids favors were a small firework bucket that contained Pop Rocks (which JD now LOVES- click for the video), glow bracelets, a firework pinwheel, Starbursts, Lifesaver firecrackers, and firework bouncy balls. Adults could also take home chocolate covered marshmallows and Lifesaver firecrackers (which I obviously made way too many of). |
 |
These were a big hit! I dipped marshmallows in chocolate and then either sprinkles, graham cracker crumbs, or toasted coconut. I used the firework pics instead of candy sticks to make them even more festive because I had a ton of them. |
 |
Morning rain meant a nervous last-minute call to the party rental place for a tent. They came through. If you live on LI, I highly recommend Rainbow Party Rentals. |
 |
Dollar store decorations behind a bench = great place to take pics. Here are my boys with their babysitter. |
 |
Our best attempt at getting a pic of JD with his friends. Don't they all look super excited to be here? |
 |
The consensus was that my sparkler candles were mean. I thought they were awesome. |
 |
The food, gift, and bar tables all had runners made from this firework fabric. I was super excited to find these festive firework straws at Target after seeing a tutorial for how to make them but deciding that I wasn't going to be that crazy. And they were bendy straws. Score! |
Of course I was a bad blogger and didn't get pics of the food or dessert tables before people started digging in, but you get the idea.
 |
Heros, salads, and (JD's only request) mac 'n cheese from a local deli |
 |
I made chocolate dipped marshmallows and rice krispie treats, chocolate fireworks, and cupcakes with cute firecracker picks. Can you tell I love to make sweets & don't enjoy cooking too much? haha |
And here is the party video.
I love the photo area! And the sweets! And all of it... Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe backdrop behind the bench is ADORABLE. It looks like a great party!
