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!

Sunglasses Party Favors

For Melody's second birthday party, her theme was "You are my Sunshine".  So when trying to decide on a party favor, sunglasses seemed like the perfect idea.  I did have my own criteria before deciding the favor, and that was that it had to be something I could make well in advance (opposed to the cotton candy ice cream cone favors I did last year).  I didn't want to be up late the night before trying to put together favors.  And these worked out perfectly for that purpose!

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.  

Melody's SECOND Birthday Party

Melody turned two back on May 25th!  It is crazy considering I feel like we just celebrated her first birthday!  I started contemplating her theme about 6-7 months before.  I went back and forth between two themes, but I ultimately decided on "You are my Sunshine" as her theme.  I sing her that song every night as well as sometimes throughout the day when she naps or doesn't feel great.  I knew I could easily play up the pink and yellow, so it really would be fairly easy to put together.  We ran into a few hiccups, but overall her party was a success.  Check out the general details below!  I plan to write about the crafty aspects of her party in future posts.
