Lilly's 2nd birthday is coming up, and with the Pageant on the day of her birthday, we decided to move her party to the Saturday before Memorial Day. This way family can come since it is a long weekend. Last year for Lilly's birthday, I was in the whole, "Oh my goodness the 1st Birthday I need to go all out!" We even built a deck just for Lilly's party last year. This year we are on a budget, but still want to give Lilly the best birthday ever!
Lilly's favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba, so it was obvious that we would do her party in her favorite show. I started looking for decorations, and after spending almost 2 dollars per card for her invitations, I knew this was going to be a HUGE challenge! I continued my search for decorations, and found that Target, Walmart, and Party City did not carry Gabba stuff. What was I going to do? I researched the Internet and decoration packs started at 35.00 for plates, 1 table piece, and cups! This was outrageous. Well the teacher in me stepped up to the plate and I decided to make the table decorations myself!!! Ok so I got empty boxes around my house and wrapped them in butcher paper to match the colors of the Gabba Characters. I then cut eyes out of construction paper and glued it to the boxes. I then got old jewelry boxes and made miniature ones. I plan on putting the large ones out on the deck (her party is outside) on the stairs or table, and the mini ones on the food table!
Check back tomorrow to see what I have done about goody bags and table decorations!
