So I woke up the morning of Lisa's shower knowing that my house was a mess and I had no party decorations since I'd been busy planning games and activities. Whoops! Luckily, I bought extra paper for the invites so I started cutting and sewing and ten minutes later, I had a simple garland.
I also made a bunch of paper airplanes that I hung around my chandelier with fishing line (Pardon the backlit picture with no one smiling)
I was so grateful that Lisa's mom was in charge of food and I only had to gather drinks. I collected a bunch of different orange drinks in individual bottles and thought I went overboard and had way too many, but ended up with just enough.
And I couldn't resist these adding these blue paper straws.
I used extra scraps of paper to put little flags around one of the cake plates
and little paper airplanes for the mini red velvet cupcakes that Lisa's mom made.
She did such a great job with the food. She even made cookies using only orange M&M's
And had a lot of orange and blue candy.
The other thing that made things look really festive were the big round orange balloons Lisa's mom ordered, because Lisa LOVES balloons.I hope Lisa felt spoiled on her special day!

boy did I ever feel special. You did such an amazing job. I was giddy from all of the extra details that went into everything. it was a magical party, probably the best I've been given -correction- it is the best I've been given.
You are beyond creative and amazing. I wish I had the creativity that you have in your pinky finger. WHen it comes around to Holland's first birthday...I am coming your way for some help!
where o where did you get those blue striped paper straws? i have been looking all over for something like that!
You really should hire yourself out so other people can have wonderful showers too. Love all your cute ideas.
I bought the paper straws at a little shop in my neighborhood called Children's Hour, but you can buy them online here http://www.kikkerlandshop.com/cu13-a.html
