I know it’s been a month since Olivia’s birthday party.  I finally got all the pictures together! To see the planning stages check out my post: Party Inspirations.  Let me jump right in to the Under the Sea themed birthday party.

Invitations, Name Labels and Thank You Cards by Tiny Prints

Outside Decorations

Baby Area – Blanket and a Book Box. Under the Sea themed books!

Balloons. There are some mylar fish you can’t see.  Don’t have a great shot of them – since they flew up into the air in the middle of the party…ahhh – $$ well spent 😦 This is also the craft table where kids created their own Under the Sea inspired art projects.

Drink Coolers – some for kids – some for adults.

This is what I decided to do with the blue fish from my inspiration folder.  I printed labels with all of Olivia’s friends names, assigned each one a fish, then affixed them to an extra piece of wrapping paper I wasn’t using.  We hung the whole thing from the tree in the backyard.

Olivia and her cousins. (And a good shot of Olivia’s Under the Sea outfit- seahorse romper!)

Menu cards – with images from the invitations

Reusing the pace card holders from our wedding!!!  Read about them here: Silver Ship Place Card Holders … good thing I went around and picked them all up after my reception!

Food Table

Cupcakes – by Dominique’s Delights

Red Velvet Crab and Chocolate Turtle Cupcakes- inspired by the invitations and thank you notes

Fish Bowl Jello Desserts – idea found on Pinterest and originally from Martha Stewart Fish Bowl Gelatins.  Of course hers look better – she’s Martha Stewart.  What can I say?  I try.

Gifts

Favor Beach Pails included bubbles, sunglasses and goldfish crackers

A happy two year old!

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate Olivia’s second birthday!  We hope you had fun Under the Sea!
