Custom Party: Milkaholic Baby Shower







This baby shower was a brunch and had a Milkaholic theme. Half Baked provided the inspiration, invitation and all of the printables. We then had many types of food for the party... pigs-n-blanket, oreo-yogurt parfaits, sausage balls, cupcakes, peanut butter/pretzel cake balls, quiche & fruit pizzas. The sugar cookies were adorable and made by Edible Art in Longview Texas. There was also milk shots and coffee to drink. The guests took home little bags of "Kisses from Sophie."

Custom Party: Little Black Dress Bridal Brunch









This "Little Black Dress" Bridal Brunch was held at a very chic Pottery place in Tyler, TX called Piddlin Pottery. The guests chose pottery pieces of their choice to paint during the brunch. Some chose to create a gift for the bride-to-be and some for themselves. Aileen at Lil' Buckaroo Designs designed the invitation and all of the printables. The bridal party contributed to many of the brunch goodies, including assorted muffins, fruit, veggies, quiche, mini yogurt parfaits and cream cheese and bagels. Natalie at Oohlalavish made both the super cute cupcakes and sugar cookies shaped like little dresses.

Custom Party: Very Hungry Caterpillar








This party was so cute and so fun. It was for a little boy's 2nd birthday. The invites and all printables (banner, cupcake toppers, food labels,water bottle labels, etc.) were made by Top That Designs. The table cloth and little banners were wrapping paper from Target and little gift boxes (not shown) were from the dollar spot at Target. We took all the food from the book and used it as the food for the morning brunch. There was make your own fruit pizza and yogurt parfait to put your fruit in as well. The cupcakes were delicious and made by Michele at Cupcakes In Stitches and the beautiful and also yummy cake was made by Super Moms Secrets. I also got some of the cupcake holders, straws and stickers from some other shops on Etsy. There were also yellow, green & red paper laterns hung (not shown) from the ceiling that made a caterpillar. The weather ended up being cold here in Texas, so some of our activities outside were canceled, but we had storytime with the kids and just played inside. There are all kinds of cute craft ideas out there, thought for Caterpillars.

Custom Party: Lil' Buckaroo 1st Birthday


This party was designed as a first birthday party. The invitations and all the printables (banner, cupcake toppers, food labels). was all by Aileen at Lil' Buckaroo Designs. The Cake was made by a local baker who does not do cakes anymore. Most of the candy and decorations were from Oriental Trading. My mom made the stick horses for the kids to take home. Guests were served burgers and hotdogs for dinner while kids had horse races, went fishing and played other "farm" type games. The "General Store" was also open for kids to get candy to take home.
