(Your baby turns 11 only once....hence the obscene amount of photo's.)
I thought it would be fun to make the cupcakes interesting.
cup...cakes... :)
I know they are really adult beverage glasses..
shhh..they will never know ;)
They thought they were the neatest cupcake holders ever!
I just hot glued a lil orchid on the stem.
Having a lula means having fun!
One can get tacky with decorations....it's ok.
Are these not the cutest straws ever?!
....Dollar tree
For party favors I personalized these cute pineapple cups.

looks like a lot of fun! If I let my daughter have another party for her 11th next year I might have to use this theme idea! I am still recovering from her 10th in March when we had 15 girls :) I love dollar tree for their party things!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun party! Thanks for having us, we really enjoyed it. Call me if ya get lonely this week. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day for Maddy. Love the luai theme and all the family pics.
ReplyDeleteI have seen that thing that was floating away recently in our neighborhood. LOL maybe it was from Maddy's party.
looks like you had much more success with your lantern than my cousin did in Texas. Here's my post of her practicing for her wedding. http://tuttiaposto.blogspot.com/2011/06/zoo-and-austin.html
ReplyDeletebtw...she won't be having these at her wedding. :)
Cute birthday party, you didn't miss a detail.
Take care!
Susie,
ReplyDeleteI had a luau when I turned 11 and still remember it to this day! Our neighbor was from Hawaii and helped my mother plan everything. :D
You did a wonderful job, such attention to details.
Happy birthday to Maddy!
