Summer Forever Party Details

Remember that outdoor party I shared a few weeks ago? I had to share some more gorgeous pictures and a few details about the decorations for it.  All photography was done by Trisha from Trisha Shelley Photography who kindly hopped in last minute to capture all the goodness!

Our table was an awesome table my brother made out of pallets & I've used it for my Captain America party as well.  I draped a piece of buffalo check fabric in the center.  The back was lined with a garland of air-filled water balloons and two kraft paper banners that read "summer forever".

For the floats, I had vanilla ice cream pre-scooped into adorable bottles from Petite Party Studio.  I scooped ice cream with a cookie dough scoop onto a cookie tray, let it freeze and then spooned them into the bottles. Tie a straw and spoon with bakers twine and it's a mess free float station!

Everyone loved mixing their own popcorn mixes and enjoying them on blankets on the grass.  The only thing that could've made it more perfect was enjoying an outdoor movie!

The glass containers for mixings are from Hobby Lobby and the little treat containers for favors were also from Petite Party Studio.

Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good party & I love some Dr Pepper®! School is starting in a few weeks, but this hot Arizona heat definitely reminds us that summer still isn't technically over.  So I decided to host a party to celebrate that there's still summertime left to be enjoyed! You can "Share the Funshine" too, by entering to win a Walmart e-giftcard here! After I planned my party, I stopped by Walmart and grabbing everything I needed for a delicious and fun party.

I grabbed 2 giant bags M&M's® Peanut, & M&M's® Plain some Skittles®,  Starburst® Minis Unwrapped, Dr Pepper®, Dr Pepper® Cherry, mini unwrapped SNICKERS®, some SNICKERS® ice cream bars, and of course Pedigree Dentastix® so even the pup can join in on the summer fun!

Then I sent out some fun invitation with a treat attached to make the party even more enticing! 

To make your own, take a small plastic baggie, pour in your treat, tie with twine, attach to your invitation with tape and you're done! Time to party!

My party had 2 elements, a Make Your Own Popcorn Mix and an Ice Cream Bar/Float station.

There was plenty of Dr Pepper®  and Dr Pepper® Cherry for floats, and a choice of ice cream bars in a bucket of ice.

The popcorn mix had butter, kettle corn and caramel corn popcorn guest could put in bags and then choose their own add-ins. There were M&M's® Peanut, & M&M's® Plain, Starburst® Minis Unwrapped, SNICKERS® Minis Unwrapped, chocolate mint candies, cinnamon gummies, & mini chocolate chip cookies.

Everyone loved being able to personalize their popcorn mix & ice cream floats!  The bags made it easy for guests to take some popcorn & treats home with them. I also had little containers filled with Skittles® so the fun could keep going and going, just like summer!

DIY Giant Confetti

Birthdaaaaaays! Are you tired of hearing me say that word yet?!  No? Good! Because I've got another birthday celebration-worthy DIY for you.  Giant confetti has been on my "make" list for a while.  Such a random thing for me to have on my list, right? But it's a pretty fun thing though!  I figured out the best way to make it was to use card stock to get a good, clean cut using the punch. take a single (folded) sheet of tissue paper and fold over once in between a piece of card stock & punch away!

honeycombs are my favorite

Hi friends! I just wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from 2 events I helped decorate.  The first was a bridal shower with a beach theme, and the second was a baptism.  I am currently obsessed with honeycomb, super easy & cheap decorations and they come in tons of colors!
