We had SO MUCH FUN yesterday celebrating our son Landon’s second birthday party. Although the weather was not what we had intended (and we had planned to be outside) the day turned out just as great! Since Landon and I practically share a birthday (we are 3 days apart) we did a dual-fiesta. We invited our closest friends and family to celebrate our special day with us!
We wanted to go with a theme that was fun, easy, and somewhat inexpensive so we chose to host a TACO party! Do you know anyone who doesn’t like tacos? We figured Mexican would be a hit- and it was! We filled the room with Mexican-inspired decor; including flags, pinatas, cactus favors, etc. We also planned a fun scavenger hunt for the kids to do during the party, which turned out to be a great hit! We had a piñata in the play room, full of candy and toys- which of course was a blast with the little ones.
Another fun thing we had planned for was a photo prop wall, so we could take pictures with our Instax poloraoid camera. I made sure to get snaps of everyone who was at the party, so we could always look back on the pictures from the day and see how much fun we all had. As each polaroid printed- I hung them up on this adorable floral picture frame for everyone to see. It was a little pricey to add this fun element to the party, but I love how it turned out!
For dessert, we had some super yummy treats- including the most delicious cake! It was one tier of chocolate and the bottom layer was vanilla buttercream. YUM! My best friend also made her ahhhmazing sugar cookies, which looked perfect for the occasion. Isn’t she so talented?
Our amazingly adorable cake topper was from my friend Shannon. You can find her on Instagram @initiallymodern. Shannon did a wonderful job creating exactly what we wanted for the top of our cake. It received so many compliments and matched perfectly with our cake design. Her toppers are super affordable (at only $15 a cake topper + $3 shipping).
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better party. The rain didn’t stop our fun! Was a great day, making fun memories and we even have all the cute little pictures to show for it. Until our next party…
