At Melody’s Snow White birthday party, I wanted something to hang on our back door during the party. None of my smaller door hangers really fit the theme, so I decided to make something myself.

Snow White Canvas Painting
For Melody’s Snow White Birthday Party, I wanted to add inexpensive but themed decor throughout. I had the idea for her to paint a Snow White canvas painting. I had some big canvases, but I opted to use one of the smaller ones because it would be easier to paint, and it would allow for an easier placement at the party.
Snow White Party Food
For Melody’s Snow White birthday party, I wanted to keep the food simple and light. Years past I always spent way too much on food, and I had way too much leftover. So this year I decided I would do a few smaller things and then do something that was the focus/centerpiece of the food. I kept the dessert on a separate table, so that is why I decided to do this approach.
Paw Patrol Cookies
As I mentioned in many posts it feels like, I wanted to make cut out sugar cookies for Melody’s Snow White birthday party. Well I worked on a recipe for a while and finally perfected a cookie recipe and a cookie icing recipe. I used this recipe to also make apple cookies for Melody’s end of year teacher gifts. Well Emily asked if I could make Paw Patrol cookies for Lydia’s third birthday.
Snow White Shirt
So I knew back in December when I was considering doing a Snow White Birthday party for Melody that if I did, she would wear her Snow White dress from Halloween. It would be perfect and adorable. We even took the dress to Disney World in February to take some pictures of her to use around the party for decor.
Snow White Favors ~ Ribbon Wands
The week of Melody’s Snow White Birthday, I started reconsidering party favors. I already magical kisses favors, but as the party neared I realized we would have quite a few kids. So I decided I wanted to do something small for the kids specifically but wasn’t sure what.
Snow White Invites
I really struggled in deciding an invite for Melody’s Snow White themed birthday party. I wanted something easy but cute. I told myself after doing the invites myself the last two years, I was going to buy pre-made ones. Well that didn’t happen. Mainly because I found it hard to find the perfect Snow White invitation. So I came up with an idea. My fear was it would take too long and be too complicated. So instead, I came up with two other ideas. I ran them by Brad and Emily, and they both ended up agreeing on the more complicated one (although they thought the others were cute too). Let me share the final invite along with the other two below.
Apple Bar
At Melody’s Snow White birthday party, I wanted a main focus when it came to the food. I wanted to go lighter this year, so I hoped to play off the theme of the party. I came up with doing a caramel apple bar for the party. It played off the “apple” portion of the theme, and it was relatively inexpensive and easy!
DIY Happy Everything Attachment
A few years ago, my best friend Emily gave me an adorable Happy Everything serving dish. I adore serving dishes (my husband despises them!). Well last year I was lucky and found the perfect attachment for her “You are my Sunshine” themed party. Well I didn’t have much luck finding a good apple or princess attachment for Melody’s Snow White party. So I decided to make my own!
Last Day of Preschool
It is so hard to believe preschool has been over for almost ONE month. I was such a nervous wreck when I sent Melody to preschool that very first day. She was so upset, I was upset, oh my! Well it was literally the best year. She ended up LOVING the school, the people, the teachers, everything. She is missing school so much already.
Snow White Cake
When Melody made the decision to have a Snow White birthday party, I already had the idea to do a Snow White ‘Barbie’ cake. Growing up I had many Barbie cakes at my birthdays and my birthday parties. I talked with my mom to confirm she still had the cake mold. And luckily she DID. So she gave me the mold, and I decided to attempt this cake. I was super nervous about making it, and I could not have made it without my mom for sure!
Snow White Birthday Party
Melody has finally reached an age where she has an opinion on things. When asked what kind of birthday party she wanted, she asked for a Snow White party. Of course she changed her mind many times, but Snow White is what we always came back to, and then it was too late…I started buying and making things!
My Birthday!
My birthday this year was super special. Brad always outdoes himself every year. I honestly am not sure how he will top this year!
Happy Birthday Daddy!
We celebrated Brad's 35th birthday Thursday! Unlike prior years, this year he wanted breakfast at McDonald's for his birthday instead of waffles because he had to work. So we didn't start celebrating with him until he was home.
You Are My Sunshine Canvas
The theme for Melody's second birthday party was "You are my Sunshine". Literally a few days before Melody's party, I decided to make a canvas using her feet to be the rays of a sun. It was around 7:30 at night, and Brad looked at me like I had lost my mind, ha! But it actually turned out cute, and I plan to hang it in her room now.
Birthday Banners
The theme for Melody's second birthday was "You are my Sunshine". I made three banners to help decorate for her party. The banners changed some from when I first designed them only because where I planned to use them changed.
Birthday Party Food
The theme for Melody's second birthday was "You are my Sunshine". I contemplated the food to serve for quite a few months. I wanted to have food that I knew Melody would eat, but that isn't much these days. I also wanted to do something fancy and unique. However, since we were living in a hotel, we had to adapt.
Sunshine Coloring Sheet
The theme for Melody's second birthday was "You are my Sunshine". In case of rain or the kids didn't want to go outside during the party to play, I wanted something for the kids to do inside besides just play with Melody's toys and destroy the house, ha! I decided to make a coloring sheet for the kids.
Sunshine Party Vases
For Melody's second birthday, the theme was "You are my Sunshine". Even before we had to move to the party to Emily's house, I had planned for the party to be primarily inside with only a few things outside. I wanted to find some sort of decor to add throughout the party that would play up the theme but also be fairly inexpensive. I decided to make centerpieces/vases to fulfill this!
Sunshine Party Invites
For Melody's second birthday party, I did "You are my Sunshine" theme. I sing her the song before bed each night, so it seemed fitting. I did some searching online for invitations ideas. Last year after her birthday party, I swore I would buy invitations. Well I never found anything I loved, so of course, I made them.
