Strawberry Shortcake Party

Boy, where has the time gone? I remember when she was born, exactly two years ago today. Happy Birthday Sophie. You were a wonderful addition to our already wonderful family.

We celebrated her birthday this past weekend, which was also Mother's Day. It was a Strawberry Shortcake theme, her favorite character at the moment! Also one of my own and my daughters.  I think it turned out beautiful.

Thank you to the vendors that helped make this a special day.

Thank you banner strung on a old door. A nice way to say thank you to the wonderful guests that attended the party.

 

The guest tables were dressed in a red tablecloth, baby pink overlay, lime green table runner and a itty bitty floral pattern runner that I hand sewed myself. It actually looks like strawberries. A birthday hat was also made from the same material, but somebody forgot to use it.

 

The dessert table was all homemade goodies except for the strawberry sugar marshmellows. Strawberry cupcakes, strawberry cake pops, strawberry rice crispy squares, strawberry and white chocolate chip cookies and shortbreads, chocolate covered pretzels.

I also created the birthday banner behind the dessert table.

And of course it would not be a birthday with out balloons and more balloons. The ceiling of the garage was covered in tissue paper balls, streamers and paper lanterns, so it did not look so much like a garage.

I just love chair sashes. It really added to the whole theme. Baby pink.

Where the party was held. \In the garage. Thank goodness for it. The wind was very chilly that day and the house just does not hold 24 people.

Balloon topiaries on either side of the front door.

Greeted at the front door with a ribbon wreath. Actually I loved it so much it is still there. So springy.

Multi tiered strawberry cake with multi colored layers frosted with a sweet pink buttercream icing. Adorned with the birthday girls name, bunting style.

 

The gift and thank you table. Strawberry shortcake scented candles for the adults, lollipops for everyone and gift bags for the boys and girls, consisted of a Strawberry shortcake coloring and crossword book, glow stick, pinwheels, bubbles, Strawberry Shortcake Pencil, Strawberry Milk straws.

Water bottle labels and straw tags.
