Bryn had her first of 2 birthday parties on Sunday. This party was with her friends. We still have the family BBQ coming up, for which I've made almost zero plans. Help. One thing we have tackled before the next party though, is the thank you notes. Bryn had 3 of them written before I even woke up this morning. Love her determination!
One of my favorite ways to send a thank you note is with a photo attached from the party. This one is very simple... black cardstock, with a piece of white paper on top, the photo (which was edited in Picnik where I added "thank you" in the color pink onto the photo) and some pink ribbon at the top. The color scheme for the thank you notes matched the color scheme of the cupcakes and treat bags...
The party took place at SkyZone where there was a whole lot of jumping going on... thus the sweaty face!
My homemade cupcakes were topped with some edible Duff cupcake "tattoos" I found at Michaels. What is it about animal print that I love so much?
Mine don't look quite as "perfect" as the example. The instructions say to place the tattoos on a fondant icing OR buttercream icing. Since Bryn is allergic to both, we went with what she COULD eat! I had a room full of impressed 10-year olds though, so that's all that matters!
The treat bags were black, white & pink too. I'll show you how I made those this weekend during the ELMERS & X-ACTO BLOG HOP! And speaking of the blog hop, have you seen who has been announced so far?
The last 3 designers will be announced in the next 3 days and then on Saturday morning the HOP begins! Hope you'll be there, too!
thank you silence! :) those cupcakes look so amazing!
