Frogs. Yep... that's my girl.
After scouring the internet for cute frog stuff, I decided I'd have to make all of the stuff myself, because seriously, most frog stuff is too boyish or the frogs have a silly crown on top (a.k.a. kissing the frog to find the prince...)
So, here's what I've been up to.
- Made pillow cases for each invitee
- Bookmarks for the goodie bags
- Ordered custom stickers from Walmart (very neat, but kind of pricey!)
- Ordered a custom stamp so I could stamp the napkins, envelopes, etc.
- Made a custom banner that says "Happy 8th Birthday Elisan"
- Made Kyla and Elisan frog glass tile pendants to wear for the part
- Made a custom game poster "Pin the Frog on the Lilly Pad"
It's been fun making all of this fun stuff. We don't go out and spend a fortune on their parties, so I don't mind going the "extra mile" to make it special for them.
Soooo creative, Erica! Wish I could hire you for Anja's birthday party in August. Last year her theme was ducks (along with an orange, pink and yellow color scheme). This year I think it might be shapes, but I haven't decided yet. I might tap into your right brain for some ideas!
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl! There are people out there that think people like us are CRAZY! Why wouldn't we go the extra mile for our kids?!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable!! You are so creative and crafy. If you ever plan to do event planning let me know I will be a customer for life!!
ReplyDeleteIf Abby Lu still loves frogs at one year (her stuffed frog, toy frog on her carseat) we may have a froggy party ourselves. Such cute ideas!
ReplyDeleteYou're ONE SILLY GAL. But I love you all the same. Here you are complaining about not being good at anything and then you whip all these wonderful things together for Elisans party. Those pillowcases are to die for. Frog - must remember that for her bday card. But all this is SOOO pretty - How about frog cupcakes to match - our baker makes these - will try to find a photo and mail it to you.
