I have three adorable little nephews on my side of the family, and they're all so much fun. This past weekend we went to Atlanta to celebrate Mister A's 2nd birthday. My sister-in-law threw him an adorable barnyard-themed party full of charming details, and I'm so excited to share it all with you today!
The Décor
When I visited my sister-in-law a few weeks ago, we were talking through the details of his birthday, and I offered to make a cute paper banner to match the theme. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out this fun barnyard animal paper banner. It was easy to make and turned out adorable, if I do say so myself. I cut these cuddly little baby animals from cardstock using the cardstock setting on my Cameo, and it worked great!
Tip: I quickly learned that when gluing the pieces together, you need to place them under a heavy book or something flat and heavy while the glue dries. Otherwise the cardstock will curl up and won't look nearly as good!
I also cut out this charming barn from cardstock, and she used it on her burlap wreath.
My favorite part of the décor was the cow print and gingham red bunting she hung on the mantel. So perfect!
The party favors were neatly wrapped barnyard toys set on crinkled paper "hay."
My SIL picked up these fun farm animal balloons and stickers from Oriental Trading.
They added yet another charming touch to the party!
The Food
I loved how every food choice tied into the theme. So cute! On the table she cut a long strip of red gingham fabric and hemmed the edges to keep them neat and crisp. It was an easy way to add festive flair over a plain white tablecloth.
We served butterscotch haystacks, deviled eggs, pigs in a blanket, cheddar bunnies, and chicken nuggets. We made the haystacks the morning of the party and then had to fight the urge to eat them all day. Ha!
She had a friend make these cute fondant cupcake toppers. I think they'd be pretty easy to copy.
And of course, no barnyard party is complete without a "vegetable patch." Too cute!!
She tied cute gingham ribbon around the mason jars holding the utensils and set out simple red plates and cow print napkins. It was perfect!
It was so much fun celebrating my nephew's birthday with my family this week. Happy Birthday, Mister A! We love you!!
