Today’s post features a darling birthday party for a lucky little boy who was turning two! This darling party exemplifies how details from the invitation can be incorporated into almost every facet of the party from the color scheme to food labels! We also love that decorative pieces from the party were able to be used again in an everyday context. We chatted with Laurel Donahoo to find out how she put such a fun party together for her baby boy!
Choosing her son Wilson’s 2nd birthday party theme was easy for Laurel Donahoo. She let him choose! “We printed out six different pictures of six things he is “into” and taped them to the wall. We then let him into the room and let him pick his favorite of the six,” smiles Laurel. “The one he picked was a picture of his favorite stuffed animal, his lion Mr. Roarsly, so our theme was LION!”
She ended up hand drawing an art deco-y lion for the invitation after she decided that she wanted to take the theme a tad past “lion” to the “Roaring Twos!” Laurel continues, ‘The colors I went with on the lion dictated the color theme for the party!” One of her favorite event details was the balloon canopy that was hung on the ceiling of the room that was the main party room. “I purchased a bunch of large round balloons online knowing I wanted to use them to decorate somehow. Once we had all the balloons blown up, the idea came to us to string them up from the ceiling! It made a pretty cool statement! And now they are hanging in Wilson’s room from his ceiling,” smiles Laurel.
