Ty's Red and Aqua Polka Dot Birthday

BIG THANKS to Casey for sending us these great photos of her son Ty's first birthday party!

She kept it simple - red and aqua polka dots. And she went to town!

I love everything she picked.

Hunter's Polka Dot Monkey Party Photos

A big "monkey-size" THANK YOU to Carrie for sending me these wonderful photos of her son Hunter's monkey-themed 2nd birthday party photos!

Here's how she pulled everything together -

Party Colors: Blue and Yellow (with hints of brown and green)

Party Theme: Monkeys and Polka Dots

Sweet Treats: Monkey Cupcakes, Monkey Cookies, Polka Dot Cookies, #2 Cookies, Yellow Candies, Blue Candies

Decor: Custom Cupcake Box Tower wrapped in white paper and trimmed with blue and yellow ribbons, coordinating scrapbook-paper snack cones, polka dot party hats, and custom confetti

Favors: I just love the coordinating aqua blue plastic baskets Carrie found. She pulled in her party colors and theme with the cute tag (must ask her where she found those tags) and tied with a polka dot ribbon bow. All the favor goodies are inside and the kids can grab the handle and go on their way out the door (though they probably did not want to leave this party).

Thanks again, Carrie - you created the perfect polka dot monkey party for your little monkey!

P.S. - I have had a happy e-mail inbox this week - I have so many cute party photos to share with you. Stay tuned!
