Birthday Party Recap #2

The theme for Berk's birthday was pink ombre! I fell in love with everything pink while planning, but unfortunately the cost would have been a little outrageous! Pinterest was my life saver!!



 Behold all thing pink, handmade, cheap and pretty!

An overview of one side....the party was held in our garage..I tried my best to make it look acceptable!

 DIY Pink Tassle found here
DIY Ribbon Highchair Garland (instructions at the end)
Tulle Pom Poms as centerpieces

1st year picture display & gift area
Notice the balloon streamers...trying to cover up the panels


Berkley's favorite thing to do during her party was sneaking ice!



Her little feet while eating ice


Initial balloons purchased here these are 16 in.


Birthday banner made by my cousins sweet wife!


After a wardrobe change


I had some leftover tulle and thought it would be cute to make a beverage container tutu


As you can see, I love simple pictures!


Ombre Cake & Candy display table





I used this birthday hat template. I knew I wanted simple yet cute...I also knew Ben wouldn't like the idea of spending $20 on an Etsy birthday hat.


Pink Ombre layered cake 


I made a pink ombre tulle pom pom garland, however I did't get a picture (bummer). They are super easy to make and used this tutorial. I wrapped my tulle 25 times, the thicker the better!



High Chair Garland
Hot Glue Gun
Ribbon - I used 4 different colors. Be sure to have a thick ribbon for the band at the top.

Measure your high chair.

Measure and cut your one piece of ribbon for the top band. 

From there, cut your strips of ribbon to the desired length. Again, I didn't measure, because I didn't want them to be super uniform looking. Place the ribbon, pretty side down and glue.

Continue until you are done! It's the easiest decoration we did and one of the cutest!
