I've been so excited about this day because today is the day I get to share more about my sweet baby girl's second birthday party!!! I had so much fun planning for this, despite the challenge that I'll get to in a second, and most importantly, Lily Ry had a blast with her tutu, her mouse ears, and all her closest peeps.
We did the same thing with Lily Ryan back in maybe November. Five pictures: Her stuffed kitty, airplanes (she loves airplanes! Future flight attendant?), Minnie, bears, and moon + stars. She picked Minnie!
After some thought and brainstorming, A Mouse in the House became our theme! I got a house shelf from Target on sale because it was a little dinged up on the side to use as part of our decor! Then I added some Minnie-esque touches without going full out Disney/pink-and-black.
I loved how it all turned out! I tried to steer towards watercolory pinks, yellows, and oranges. I painted a sheet of paper with pink, yellow, and orange watercolors then scanned it in and used that painted design as the paper from which I cut the mouse heads that I pasted onto all the drink cups, made the "happy birthday" sign in the house, and made the confetti!
Speaking of confetti, I ordered these three round hole punchers which got lots of use! I let the kids help me with all of this which was kinda fun / made everything take twice as long! ha! But I loved having them get involved 🙂 Anyway, we used the small one to punch the confetti out of the watercolor paper, then we used the two larger ones to punch circles out of some solid yellow and pink papers, then we glued two smaller circles onto the bigger circle to make mouse heads! We set some of those out on tables, but used most of them to make the mouse garland that hung in the window.
We got the mouse balloons here and here, the bigger balloons here, and the cute little house bud vases here!
Overall, it was a perfect day celebrating our sweet little girl. She had the best time!!
Thank you so so much for stopping by today. It means the world to me! Truly!! Have an amazing weekend!!!!
