Elise's 2nd Birthday

I had so much fun getting Elise's Birthday Bash ready. I like being creative (and stealing ideas I saw on pinterest) So with just some scrapbook paper, toothpicks, ribbon and the dollar store I was able to put together a birthday party that Elise loved. Just look at that face!


I think I'm most excited about how the cupcakes turned out.  They were so simple to put together, it was awesome.

Yay for having a cricut and some paper that went along with the theme. I also had some ribbon laying around so it was easy to make some of them Minnie mouse. I even figured out how to cut the cupcake wrappers out on cricut. My cricut is pretty worn out, I didn't cut anything by hand.

I got a package of little white buttons at walmart for the mickey cupcake wrappers. The cupcake stand is a DUFF one that was on clearance at michaels for four dollars.

I also made her a banner.

We had party hats with some good sport adults that also had them on.

dollar store party hats with circles glued on the side. The ears kept coming off because I did them so far in advance with scrapbool tape. If I did it again I would do elmers glue and really stick them on there.

I did party favor bags filled with things I thought might keep 2 year olds entertained. I couldn't really think of games that toddlers could really be a part of and they would rather just run around anyway.

I had these brown sacks already and did they're first letter of their name and then gave it a bow if it was a girl we were giving it to. Inside is a composition notebook that I scrapbooked with different mickey or minnie things. I got them during the back to school sales in august to they were $.50 a piece. I also got crayons at the same time for $.15 that I put in. I got glow bracelets at the dollar store and divided them up between the bags. There are mickey mouse apple juice pouches from langers in there. So I didn't spend a ton but they had a lot of fun with them.

This is traditional West family birthday cake. Chocolate box cake with box marshmallow frosting. So Yummy! I didn't realize that the marshmallow would slide off the cake so bad. In fact we didn't get to the leftovers in time after the party and when I went in the kithchen the top layer had slid off, hit the counter, and ended up on the floor.

The Menu:
"Minnie" corndogs
Pluto Pizza puffs
Goofy fruit-y
Vondrake veggies
Chip's chips (sweet potato fries)
Dale's dip (fry suace)
Again printed off on the computer.

It wasn't very expensive or hrad but put together it was a lot of fun.
