On June 23, 2012, we celebrated Savanna's 8th birthday party by renting a waterslide and having a fun birthday bash! Savanna invited a few of her friends and of course, family and we all had a ton of fun in the sun!
With the help of Pinterest, I started gathering ideas early on of what kind of decorations I wanted to do. And with the help of my cousin, Carolyn, we started decorating a week before so I wouldn't be stressed out by doing it all at the last minute! It all turned out great and even Justin commented how well the whole party went and he said I did a great job! I'm not an expert at planning parties but that made me feel great!
Here are the pics:
This was my first Pinterest inspired decoration: a grapevine wreath covered in umbrella picks. I love the way it turned out!
The party favors were personalized beach buckets with an assortment of candy and water toys inside. I also had the guests sign a beach ball as Savanna's souvenir from her party.
This was the backdrop that Carolyn and I came up with so Savanna could pose with her guests and then I printed out the pics for use in the craft that I actually didn't get a picture of. Oops!
I love the way this banner came out, of course my inspiration came from Pinterest. It was made with my Cricut Expression. I love it when I get use of that thing!
All the yummy food. I found a great chocolate chip cookie dough dip on Pinterest and it was a hit! So good!
Fun in the Sun!
Cupcake time! Another Pinterest find was the cupcake decor. Blue frosting to resemble water and crushed cookies to resemble sand. Stick an umbrella in it and you have the beach!
Our first game was the water balloon toss. Justin headed this up in the front yard.
Here is Owen posing with the birthday girl, so cute.
Our next game was a watermelon eating contest. It was so fun to watch them do this!
And the winner was Lyla! Great job!
