Flamingo Birthday Party: The Details

Here are the details to the party.

I decided to make the water bottles cute (like every other birthday party out there in blog land). I loved the flamingo straws I found. I found these "giant" marshmellows at Winco and thought I better dip them in chocolate and pink sprinkles. I made these easy ham and cheese sandwiches (without the poppyseeds) and the rest of the lunch consisted of: chips, cheese stick, grapes, carrots and half a frozen go-gurt. I figured a nice variety of food would cover all the different kids tastes.

We played "Pin the Feather on the Flamingo". I made the big flamingo and then made feathers with each kids name on them. One kid hit the mark exactly!


I found cute inflatable flamingo drink holders and put cute flamingo cups in them filled with candy and a little flamingo sucker. Can you tell our life was all about flamingos for a few weeks?


Here is the kitchen. I love the tissue pom-poms. They are easy, cheap and soo darn cute! That was about half of them. I had a bunch more when you walked into the house.

I made bags for the kids to hold all there candy in for the pinata.


I got these aprons and fancied them up a bit. I painted glitter flamingos on them and then added pink bows for the girls and blue buttons for the boys.


Like I already mentioned in my previous post, the big activity was each kid got to paint a ceramic hotrod bank for the boys and a heart box for the girls. This was a really fun activity for the kids and they did pretty well... thanks to all the parents that helped and stuck around :-)

Lastly, in case you missed it, here were the invitations I sent out.
