WARNING: POST CONTAINS ALOT of PHOTOS :)
So for months I have been planning my dear friend's Sweet Treats baby shower
and my daughter's Ice Cream Party.
Oh how I love party planning!
I came up with a few good GREAT ideas!
First my daughter.
Alyssa turned 14 this year. Yes, my baby is growing up & fast!
Looking through the Oriental Trading website
she discovered an Ice Cream party theme.
I thought, how CUTE and FUN!
It fits her personality so well. She is such a friendly, happy go lucky type of gal.
I just thought about all the goodies we could have as toppings for ice cream and
bright colors for decorating. We decided pink and green (partly because I already had stuff in pink & green ;)
 |
I loved all the bright colors! The balloons were just kinda hanging around
(not for long though...kids love popping balloons)
Notice in the far left corner...tissue pom poms (can't decorate w/o tissue pom poms)
The ice cream banner in the center of the room, the ice cream piñata, and the ice cream dangling from the ceiling all came from Oriental Trading.
The polka dot balloons I found at Wal-mart.
The table cloths and skirts came from Cap't Party in Roanoke.
The flower balls I made.
Hellium tank I bought at Factory Card & Party Outlet in Lynchburg.
Here is a few miscellanous photo shots:
 |
| Some of the balloons tied next to the table had her name on it... also found at Cap't Party. (loved it) |
 |
| Had to get creative with table cloth/skirt for the beverage table. It is two table cloths laid horizontal and vertical :) |
 |
| Yummy cupcakes! |
 |
| A very big cupcake and some with cute/fun designs. Alyssa is a fan of Cookie Monster so at her request I made cookie monster cupcakes! |
 |
| The flame was the same color as the candle...how cool! |
 |
| Meet Peyton, this is my friend Donna's (baby shower lady :) step-son. Alyssa's birthdy party was on his actual birthday! So we put some candles on cookie monster (which he loved) and sang Happy Brithday to him! He had a ball!!! |
 |
| My beau and I with my cousins (week old) twins. Just makes my heart melt (love me some babies)! |
 |
| Strawberry, pineapple, m&m's, sprinkles, reeces pieces, walnuts,pecans reece's peanut butter, (and shell), caramel, fudge, chocolate, cherries, banana's, butterscotch oreo, nutter butter, chocolate chip cookies, and I am sure I am missing some toppings! |
 |
| A giant cookie with a cookie monster face :) |
 |
| Ice Cream shaped bowls (and came with spoons) |
 |
| Yummy sherbet punch, kool-aid, and sweet tea! (bright colored plastic cups, Sam's Club) |
 |
| Had to throw in a little scentsy. (cutie pie cupcake scent was used) Check out my cupcake scentsy warmer here. |
 |
| Alyssa with some of her awesome friends! |
 |
 |
| My very good (& preggo) friend Amber telling me I was NOT allowed to post pics of her...haha! Love you, Amber! |
So I was going to also post on the baby shower in this post as well but....
I will do that one separate. Too many pictures :) and I don't want to take the shine from my daughter
or from the baby shower. Each was special and distinct.
With love,
Michelle
