I absolutely adore her invites. I was able to custom make them and they turned out just as planned. Her lovely invite made by: Paper Clever, can be found HERE.
Decorations: I had planned a baby shower for my friend Angela a couple weeks ago and carried her color theme into Aynslee's party so that I was able to re-use some of the decor!!!
These mason jars were either spray painted a light pink or purple, and then there were some I just wrapped with ribbon. I then just placed a tulle ball, flowers, or cereal into the jars to finish them off.
My pretty little mason jar with the tulle ball! Sooo easy to make :) Directions HERE.
Next up was her cute little birthday banner. With the help of Tiffany Trotter and her wonderful Cricut®, it came together wonderfully!

The next DIY project was to make her a lovely "All about me" chalk board. I had thought about ordering a print on etsy but decided to just free handed one. It's not perfect but it was free and Aynslee will know her Mama did it all by herself ;)

I made this birthday wreath for our front door. Directions found HERE..I just used this to get started then added and kinda did my own thing :)
My favorite thing about the whole party was of course the food!!!!
Menu: Pancakes, sausage, fruit kabobs, yogurt with granola, waffles and chicken (Chick-Fil-A), OJ, and milk.

Then her cute little smash cake was a pancake smash cake and we had Krispy Kreame donuts for the guests.... LOVE!!!!
Party favors: Little cereal boxes with a fun spoon, wrapped with ribbon and a thank you note!! Super easy and way fun for the kiddos!
