Birthday post #3 - The Decorations

Ahhh...the decorations. Months of planning and work putting it all together but it was worth it. I think it turned out awesome. And the pics that I'm sharing right now don't show all the decorations. These are only the pictures that our photographer took. I wish that I had taken pictures myself of each area of the decorations because I don't have any pictures of the drink table or the food table. My mom and dad have some pictures that I'll prolly get and share but I'm not sure if they have any either. I'm gonna check and see if my FIL took any too.

I got lots of balloons for the party. There was prolly around 80 balloons. They served as both decorations and we used them for the balloon release. The colors I used for the party was white, purple, and light green. The colors really went well together. I bought light green candles with a tropical fruit scent (smelled really good!) that sat on the tables. There were larger green ones on the drink table and smaller tea candles in star holders on the cake table.

I made the favors myself. I got white M&Ms and some of the specialty M&Ms in purple and wrapped them in tulle and tied them with a purple ribbon. I had a little tag attached that was stamped with a baby's hand print. On the tables I had baby feet confetti that I punched myself out of scrapbook paper. My hands were sore from doing that!!

On the food table, I had 2 vases of flowers that I ordered from a local flower shop that I frequent. The flowers were purple roses with white daises and greenery. They were pretty. On the cake table, I had a little vase that was a surprise. Brenda, who is a member of our church, took some of Carleigh's flowers from her funeral over a year ago to dry and preserve for us. I had totally forgot about it. On the day of her party we were presented with them and it was such a wonderful gift. Today they sit in our bedroom until we have a special place for her things.

So here are some pics of the decorations:
