Party Planning


First, you may notice a new gadget on the side of my blog.
Check it out, more on that later!



Now on to the point of this post. Molly's birthday party is in one month. Coming up with the theme was pretty easy. We call her Molly Moo pretty much all day long so we went with with a cow theme. My love of all things cows goes way back to junior high, so this is exciting for me to plan.

Here is the invite. It has been edited because as much as I love all my readers, I didn't want to get random phone calls or hate mail. Not that any of YOU would do that, but I can think of a few people who might.



The back...



Molly's outfit is already displayed in the invite above but she'll be wearing this.


Along with this from Blossoms & Bows.



Food will be pretty simple. I am going to do some appetizers to start; buffalo chicken dip, mini meatballs, chips and pretzels, maybe a cold dip. Then we will have a big cake and an ice cream sundae bar. Yum! I am hoping the weather holds because we would love for everyone to be able to hang out outside. Maybe a cake like this...


Decorations. First stop was Devany's Designs to get a Happy Birthday banner! Molly's banner will be baby pink with the black cow spots.



Then we will throw in some cow print balloons mixed with baby pink balloons.



I am still working on the rest of the decor. This weekend I am headed to a friend's house to have a birthday craft night. Her son is turning one the weekend before Molly, so we'll be scheming together to come up with some fun ideas!

Oh my goodness! I am in LOVE with the theme!

First of all, and I know I've told you this before but my mom's nickname for me has always been Molly Moo :)

Also, I have had a weird obsession with all things cow-related from the time I was a child!

Now that we're in our new house I finally have room to display my cow collection. Have you ever heard of the Cow Parade cows? I collect them :)
