Avery's {Paul Frank} Birthday Party!

Avery's {Paul Frank} Birthday Party was super fun to do. I love decorating ANYTHING no matter how big or small it is so I had to put a few of my little twists on her special 2nd Birthday party with friends. Detail is my middle name & I love adding those special little touches all the time!



We had the party at a local spot called, "The Little Gym". Check their website out here for a place near you. It was perfect for the kids & is super easy for the parents because they provide several workers to put out everything, work with the kids & play with them while the parents take pictures, & then they even clean up. We were in & out in no time!



The morning of her Birthday we gave her this fun little Dora 3-wheeler. It is seriously her favorite thing to do these days!

We took her outside in her jammies & party sunglasses!




We played in the sprinkler a bit & then it was party time!

This was Avery's outfit. I got the shirt in California when we were on vacation for $5.00 at a local boutique. I loved all the fun colors! I made her bow to match.




Momma wore a fun Paul Frank shirt too, we enjoyed taking a few pictures before we left but Avery wouldn't nap that afternoon so she wasn't up for smiling!





I decorated once we got to the party & took a few pictures of the fun decor before everyone arrived.






Avery's special seat & Birthday girl hat. I purchased the hat at Hobby Lobby & made the Paul Frank addition up top!

I loved her yellow bib, found at one of my weekly TJ MAX stops!




The theme of Avery's party was completely around these napkins & plates that I found at Target 6 months before her Birthday. They were $2.00 a pack on clearance so I snatched them thinking I could do an awesome Birthday theme out of it. I loved the color scheme.



Her cupcake stand was my favorite design, painted to match the plates & napkins. I have had the stand for over a year & have used it at least 20 times all with different looks. I still can't believe I purchased it at a yard sale for $3.00

I had a wonderful girl & her Mother that own a shop in Springdale called, "Whimsy Woo" paint it for me. These ladies are beyond talented. Her website is under construction so PLEASE stay tuned as I will be doing a giveaway & posting some super fun stuff about her store. You will not want to miss out!





They also painted my mirrors, we had 2 of these alike at each end of the tables.



My husband made the "2" & it turned out amazing. He is so good! I got the 2 at Hobby Lobby & we covered it with extra stickers that I had made.




I couldn't have cupcakes without the cupcake toppers! I had Sir Speedy print the Paul Frank head. They were AMAZING to work with. My friend Kim's husband owns it & he treated me like royalty & did whatever I needed, so thankful! You don't want to miss out on their business if you have something fun that needs printed or designed.

I cut out the circles at a local shop because they let you use their tools for free! Took me 10 minutes! Glued the toothpicks into them & it was adorable!





We also served sugar cookies with "Julius" Paul Frank on them from Rick's Bakery in Fayetteville.




I made some really fun give aways for all of our guests to take home. I put some of Avery's favorite things in them & added a sticker to the front.

The boys had a water gun added to them & a fun band bracelet.



The girls each had sunglasses, bubbles, Paul Frank stickers, & slinkies!



They turned out super cute & fun! I loved making them.





So onto play time! Avery ate up every second & ran all over the place! She didn't know what to think... she had so much fun!








All the kiddo's had SO much fun!














Avery loved parachute time!








After everyone played for a bit it was time to start eating cake & opening presents!













I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful real group of friends to share my life with, & that they also share theirs with us. It touches my heart in so many ways.













Our family is so thankful Avery had a fun day with all of her loved ones! Thank you for letting us share her fun Birthday party day with each of you.





Avery still doesn't know what to think about all her treats. She just kept looking at them all when we got home. So sweet.



We love you Avery!!!
