Ty's 3rd Birthday Party!!!

All of the planning, crafting, and preparing was totally 100% worth it. I am so pleased with how everything turned out and I am so grateful for all of the help I received. We were a little hesitant about who would actually show considering we moved half an hour away from our family and friends. But everyone who loves us came to support our family and see our home!

THE FAVORS

I was thinking of a fun favor, something yummy and that people loved. I did banana split bags last year and I am not a fan of toys because I feel it's just extra stuff that gets lost. And we had a bunch of kids which would cost tons of money! SO, I thought... heck who doesn't like sugar cookies! I tried three different recipes and I fell in love with this one. This will definitely be my go-to cookie recipe!

FOOD

We had the most amazing food! Spinach dip, 7 layer bean dip, salsa, cheese ball, jalapeno popper dip, my mother in law's AMAZING guac dip, veggie tray, fruit skewers and that's just for appetizers.


Lunch was sandwiches, BLUE jello, caesar salad, blue cheese salad, fruit salad. I was so fortunate to delegate the food assignments to my family members who offered which lowered the cost of food. Which was a HUGE savings to us!

FUN

Tyler REALLY wanted a pinata for the older crowd... this part was hilarious!

And of course, we had one for the little guys

And we rented a bounce house. It was totally fun. I am so glad we have a backyard because we were able to hold so many different activities. We had a soccer net, baseball tee, bean bag toss, and other activities so the kids could have fun.




We also had my cousin do face painting which was another huge hit with all of the kids. I will definitely have this again because everyone loved it. I am so glad she agreed to do it!

DESSERT TABLE

I made chocolate covered marshmallows and pretzel rods (white and milk chocolate). We also had a bunch of different blue candies at the table.

TABLES

For many of our family and friends they only see Ty maybe once or twice a year. So I wanted to make a portrait centerpiece so people could see what Ty was up to in that year. They turned out sooo cute and everyone loved seeing Ty's goofy pictures!

I loved planning his party. It was so fun to create all of his decorations, food and favors. I look forward to next year :) Thank you to everyone who attended. We hope you had as much fun as we did!!
