The theme for my cousin’s bridal shower was “miss to mrs.” Her maid of honor has her own floral shop, and she did the flowers for Ashley’s wedding as well as the ones for her shower. One thing Ashley wanted was a bouquet bar. So her maid of honor made that happen!
When hosting my best friend’s baby shower back in October, the theme was easy…pumpkins! But when it came to favors, I wanted something edible, easy to make, and cute! Well she LOVES candy corn and peanuts, so I thought it would be a fun favor to make!
I went back and forth on what favors I was going to do for Melody’s 6th birthday party which was Doc McStuffins themed. I wanted to do Hershey kisses since they are Melody’s favorites. The thought was “Kisses for your Boo Boos”. But I found some Doc McStuffin stickers, and I decided to expand the idea.
Another favor that we had at Melody’s Rainbow Ranger birthday party was a communicator. Now if you are not familiar, it is a bracelet the Rangers wear that they can use to communicate with their leader and with each other. Melody really wanted this at her party, so Brad was on a mission to deliver!
So Brad made one favor for Melody’s Rainbow Ranger themed birthday party [more on that to come later], but I wanted to do something else too. Mainly because back during February, Melody found some erasers and bubbles she wanted to use as favors. This was before really knowing how we were going to do Brad’s favors. I hated for those to go to waste, so we did some favor bags too!
For Melody’s 5th birthday, she wanted a Rainbow Ranger themed party. Well actually, about a month before she changed her mind to Doc McStuffins, but mommy had already bought Rainbow Rangers, so maybe Doc next year, ha. Anyhow, Rainbow Ranger itself was hard to find, but we did find lots of rainbow things we used along with toys we already had. Melody was specific and had to approve most things because she wanted everything to be in true rainbow order (aka ROYGBIV). The party itself turned out cute, and she loved it.
For Melody’s 4th birthday party, she wanted it to be Elsa themed. Instead of only focusing on Elsa, I did focus on snowflakes, blue, and other Frozen things we could find. I had grand plans for this party, but then COVID-19 hit. She originally wanted to invite her entire preschool class. But then school was cancelled, and even if I wanted to, it would be near impossible to get in contact with all of them. We also had trouble determining a date that we felt comfortable even seeing family for a party. We opted to keep the party dramatically small and only had immediate family and her best friend there. And we did it the weekend after her birthday. We decided this about 2 weeks before, but since I had already did so much planning, and I only needed to make 4 invitations, that part was easy. So follow along to my smallish Frozen party :)
For my best friend’s baby shower, I wanted to do a favor that I knew would be something I could use. I say the because I almost always make too many or forget to tell people about them! So I opted for chocolate!
For Melody’s third birthday, we had a Snow White themed party. As far as decor went, I played off the Snow White colors and apples. I also included lots of pictures of Melody dressed like Snow White. And I even added in some of her toys.
For Melody’s 3rd birthday party we were faced with a dilemma…what do we do with all of the kids. For Melody’s first birthday party, she was obviously so young, and there were not that many kids. And the kids that did come were young too. We had a few things outside that Melody played with, but the kids primarily stayed inside and toddled. For Melody’s second birthday party, we had it at my best friend’s house due to our remodel, and there were three kids. That was easy.
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.
I went back and forth a lot on what kind of party favor to do at Melody’s Snow White birthday party. I really wanted something that went with the theme, but I also didn’t want to take ideas that made more sense for future birthday parties (princess wands, crowns, etc.). I came across an idea on Pinterest that referenced Magical Kisses, and I opted to go with that.
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.
In preparation for Disney, I made both Melody and Lydia happys. I give Lydia hers at our Disney Party, but I gave Melody hers the day before we left for Disney. It was actually the last thing we did for our Disney countdown.
