Find: Vintage Bottles

So I've decided to take this blog down a different direction--From here on out I am going to search for hot party finds and post them weekly (or let's get real-it'll be whenever my toddler allows me to have some Mommy time). I'll still be posting party features and party inspirations but I want to share the fun stuff I've been finding lately, and the cool places I've been finding them! First up: Vintage Bottles

1. Plastic Petite Bottles from Polka Dot Market
2. Lemonade Bottles from Sweet Shop Lulu 
3. Glass Milk Bottle with Porcelain Lid from FarmHouseWares
4. Miniature Glass Milk Bottles from Bake it Pretty 
5. Large Square Bottles from The Sugar Diva 

I am a believer that the beauty (and fun) is in the details, details like the drinkware you share with your guests.  These vintage bottles are sure to impress.

If you have a great product you want to share or something you want me to find please email me at thebdaygirl{at}gmail{dot}com.

Corbin's 2nd Birthday

Man, I wish I had all the money in the world to plan this party for my little man but since thats not a reality I had to be creative and frugal. I got the idea for the party by simply combining my son's two favorite things: Elmo & Football. 

I created the different decor elements with the help of my beloved Circuit.  

Invites created with a little Photoshop magic

 "Kick" the Field Goal 

The Kids Table-Football hats which were ironically only worn by the parents and the "Elmo's Goldfish Jar" which was a hit!

 Coloring-I was able to find a ton of Elmo Football coloring pages online for FREE. 

Elmo Chocolate Pops 

 Food Table complete with turf table topper, and matching food & water bottle labels. 

Opening gifts in his Team Elmo Football Jersey

My Son's First Birthday Flashback

 My sweet little boy is going to turn two in a week. I can hardly believe it. I was just reminiscing his first birthday party and thought I'd share what I did for his party. The theme: "Look Whoooo's Turning One!

 

 I had such a great time planning my little man's first party and I am having a blast prepping his 2nd. Stay tuned to see what I have in store. :)

Bowtie Bash-By Me

Carnival Inspiration Board

I am a fan of the red & turquoise complimentary color combination. Sir Isaac Newton sure knew what he was doing when he put those two colors across from each other on the color wheel. (I was a history major-can you tell?). Something about these colors together illustrates innocent FUN, innocent fun like the carnivals of my childhood. So here it is the Red and Turquoise Carnival Inspiration Board. 

No. 1: Tutu for Birthday Girl from 2under2Mom
No. 2: Invites & Printables from Dimple Prints
No. 3: Jones Soda for Bottle Ring Toss
No. 4: Angies Kettle Corn-if you think you can make it as good as Angies, go for it then send  me the recipe :)
No. 5: Pinwheels from The Sweet Factory Etsy
No. 6: Gourmet Cotton Candy from Tasty Clouds
No. 7: Raffle Tickets It wouldnt be a Carnival without a raffle!
No. 8: Duck Pond Game-Instructions HERE
No. 9: Rings for Bottle Game

Oh and if you have a few hundred dollars to spare-I found this darling little cupcake ferris wheel.

Treat everyday like its your birthday!
