Birthday party ideas part 1

My sweet girl is turning 4 soon and our thoughts are turning to her party. Of course this has led me to remember her parties past. I have never really had anywahere to share these before so I thought I owuld pop them on here , also good for me to return to and remind myself what we have done already!

For her 2nd Birthday we did a ladybird tea party theme. I Loved doing this so much. These pics were all taken with my old camera so they arent the best and also I am pretty rubbish at photography !


Here are the invitations, all made just using card and little wooden ladybirdsm I just remembered that this was the one we kept for ourselves because I forgot to write the time on it LOL

For the cups and plates I bought some plain red paper cups and plates. Then I went to work with some black sticky dots.

For the gift bags I again bought plain red gift bags and decorated with the dots, for the tags I just cut out a leaf from the green card and stuck a wee wooden ladybird on.

I filled the bags with a little notebook with ladybirds on, some jumbo crayons tied with red and black polka dot ribbon, a mini ladybird cupcake and something else that I can't remember now! oops

I made giant flower and grass pictures to enhance the theme, with a home made banner made by me and Fraser.

Some other ladybird / garden theme bits and pieces dotted around, not sure if you can see her pressies in the background but they were wrapped in red tissue with black dots.

And finally my first attempt at decorating a cake.

A spotty dress completed the day and my little ladybird princess had a ball!

She never sits still this girl, and these pics were late afternoon so she was super tired.

wow she seems like such a baby in these!!
