Harper Turned 2, We Had a Ball!

BALLS!

Harper loves playing with them, so why not make it her party theme, right?!? 

Invitation: Dimple Prints on Etsy 

Birthday Girl's Outfit: Preppy Poppy Shirt-personalized with a 2, Preppy Poppy Hair Bow, Tutu by Mom

She got so many compliments on her party outfit!  The shirt...super duper cute! I asked Angela at Preppy Poppy to make a shirt rather than a onesie, and use the 'boy colors' to match the party.  I also had it personalized with her age rather than her initial.  The tutu...my goal in making her tutu was for it to last through the party, it didn't have to be structurally sound.  I was definitely experimenting a bit, but love how it turned out.  Luckily, Kara at Jensen Haus Designs, was sweet enough to sew the waistband for me.  It turned out great for the party, certainly not perfect, and it's a fun dress-up accessory now that the party is over. 

Decor: Banner by Mom, Balloons, flowers, balls...everything was bright primary colors.

Food, mostly balls: Meatballs, Clementines, Cheese Ball with Crackers, Cheese Puffs, Scalloped Potatoes, Green Salad...it was kind of a random mix, but turned out to be great munchie food and very kid friendly!

Favors: Hi-Bounce Balls from Amazon, Beaded Necklaces from Party City

Dessert: Cake Balls, Candy Sushi

I really wish I had a close-up of the Candy Sushi, it was so fun to look at and eat.  I was very surprised at how excited even the adults were to try the candy sushi.  Bakerella's Red Velvet Cake Balls were a hit!  The only glitch was that I hoped to color them the party colors, but it didn't work out, so I made almost all of them chocolate instead.  Want to see more about how I made these desserts?  Check in with Sugar Loco in January and I will share all of my tips and tricks!

Most importantly, the birthday girl had a great day celebrating with family and friends...so, so blessed.
