I decided to do her 2nd Birthday in the "Girl Paul Frank". Pretty much anything you see below will be in pinks- (hot pink & light), turquoise, & yellow. I love this little cute monkey & it's the perfect fit for the party which I will tell about after the Birthday. Everything is going to be so easy, but I like the small details. Im so excited to plan this & thought it was something different & unique. I wanted to have a cute "2nd Birthday" theme. So far I have completed invitations, plates, napkins, and a few odd & ends for Avery. I still have some shopping to do!
These are the plates I have purchased for the party & everything will be centered around this look:
I purchased this cute little set for Avery that she will have to eat off of on her special day. I will be making her Birthday hat.
Gotta have the bib!
I have been looking for the easiest option on cake. I can't decide if I want to do a cake, cupcakes, or cupcakes/cookies. Depending on what I decide, I will be doing something with one of the below at our local bakery & it will match her napkins.
CAKES...
Cookies...
Cupcakes...
If I go with cupcakes I have some ideas for cupcake holders/toppers!
So a couple of extra randoms....
I wanna have pajamas for her for the night before so she can wake up on her Birthday in them!
Momma may get some too because they are so stinkin' cute!
This little guy will be given to her on her Birthday morning...
This will be a part of her bow that day in the center, but I am searching for pink! If anyone makes buttons, monogram labels, please let me know! ;)
Finally, I am in DESPERATE search for her Birthday outfit. I don't want anything dressy, just a cute T-shirt dress that has the logo/colors I am doing. I am working with some local shops however if anyone happens to make these, sale them, or know of anyone that does, PLEASE e-mail me. I will be wearing something similar & Chad will have the main "boy" Paul Frank on that day.
If you have any other great Paul Frank info you can provide to me I would love to hear from you!
What a cute theme, I love it.

Ashley I am a 'lurker' who has been reading your blog for a while now. You may actually know my cousin, Robin Harper. Anyways I can't remember if I got her from Robin or thru Kelly's Corner. I LOVE your blog. I read almost daily. Its my 'down' time at the end of the day to sit on the pc a while. You are so stylish, so fun and just an adorable family. Thanks for sharing!!! Avery is GORGEOUS!!!! Just like her momma..
ReplyDeleteMy friend Rebekah makes all kinds of fun stuff. She is local to NWA and is easy to work with. I am sure she could make a perfect birthday outfit for Avery. She has an etsy shop called Audrey's Room, but let me know if you want to contact her directly and I will give you her information.
ReplyDeleteI think the cupcakes are my favorite. You know, cupcakes are the "new" cake. ;)

Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI love your Paul Frank theme. I am planning my daughters 1st bday party which is in June so I have been looking around at things. I saw at Walgreens some little ice cream cones that are bubbles (they would match the cone in the Paul Frank plates). I also saw at Wal-mart little ice cream cones that match the plate as well that I believe are a candy or something. Just a couple of cute things that I saw lately when I looked at your plates it reminded me of.
I LOVE IT and can't wait to see pics of the party! Super duper cute!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you today at Target (haha)! You are a very sweet person. Thanks for chatting with me!

Hellooooooo. Have you ever heard of SheShe Made? Just wondering. Hint hint:) I hear they make cute birthday outfits. You should see what they could cook up for ya;) Although it may be kinda tricky with Paul Frank being copywritten. But we could def make you a ruffly little tshirt dress number sewn onto a paul frank shirt. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteMy friend told me about your blog because she knows I'm planning the same party for my little one! She's turning one. I got a Paul frank tshirt and I'm going to make it into a dress. Did you find something yet? I also found some Paul frank ribbon on etsy. Do you want me to make you a bow? Do you want to message me on Facebook? I'm Melanie Nielson.
