I had so much fun planning this party for my little guys. Their birthdays are only 4 days apart so I figured a combined birthday party would be the easiest way to go. A lot of people ask me how I come up with parties or where I start when planning. I love using Pinterest for inspiration. I put together a board HERE with all of my inspiration for this party. I knew I wanted to incorporate black + white stripes and a lot of bright color. I wanted a more modern approach to the whole circus theme. I think it came together pretty good! I had put together a ticket booth that was meant to sit outside our house, but it was raining all day on the day of the party, so I never got to use it. ( I will post a picture of it sometime) I love party planning and I love crafting... I love putting a little bit of me into each party. We had so much fun celebrating Nixon + Grey. They are special little boys and we love them so much! The party details are at the bottom of the post! If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask! I am also sharing my banner tutorial over on Mom's Best today! Head over there and check that out + let me know what you think!

ReplyDeleteSo the letters were just over sized cardboard letters I bought at a craft store and painted yellow... The balls are actually just styrofoam! I used hot glue to stick them on! Good luck with your combined birthday! Sounds like it will be darling!
