"I am having a Finding Nemo theme for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. It will be at the local pool where they have a Splashpad (shooting water that sprinkles out from the floor and other water features). The colors are going to be blue and orange. Need some other ideas for invitations, decor, food, etc... I'm not going to have any crafts since all the kiddies will probably be preoccupied with playing in the pool area. Also wanted to keep the food easy because it is outside and will mostly rely on coolers to keep the food cold. Thanks! -Phuong"
Great details from The Blue Shed's dinosaur birthday party. The fact that it is for a little girl, Rowen, makes it even better! Lots of details you will want to replicate for the dinosaur-obsessed in your life...dinosaur-shaped sandwiches (love the cucumber spine), a dinosaur dig (great idea to keep the sand on a mat), and a homemade pinata full of dinosaur 'eggs.' Love it! More from Robin right here.
You'll want to check out this sweet spring baby shower Miranda threw for her friend, Sonya. I love the crafty flower pins guests created and the cheddar quiche in the shape of flowers is precious! Check out all of the details right here.
Aly's threw her son a very cute circus-themed birthday. Check out the gumball-topped cupcakes, elephant-shaped sandwiches, and those paper straws I adore. More here.
