On October 1st Bella turned 3. Picking a theme for her party was not difficult, because every single day we read Pinkalicous. It is about a girl who eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink. So the obvious choice was a Pinkalicous party.
Since it isn't a very well know book decorations were hard to find. Luckily I found Big Day Creations. They were able to make custom invitations, seals, stickers for the cups, and stickers for the craft for a very reasonable price!! For the other decorations we had every shade of pink you can imagine for the tables, napkins, cup, and balloons. Also, with the help of my awesome friend Tiffany, we created 15 giant pompoms that were suspended from the ceiling.
For her cake I made a giant cupcake that was carrot cake with homemade pink cream cheese icing. We also had two cupcake towers with chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and the best pink butter cream frosting I have ever made!! (Here is the recipe!) We had too many other foods to list, and since the only food left was a few cupcakes, I think the food was pretty good!!
I was so glad that all of Bella's friends were able to come. All the girls, and some of us mommies, wore pink. We decorated crowns to wear, just like Pinkalicous, and let the kids play outside. The kids also had a giant cupcake pinata that we save for the end. We all dad such a great day! Bella is already asking if we can have another Pinkalicous party. Thank you to all the people who helped me make this day run smoothly. Please enjoy the pictures that Melissa graciously took for me so I could enjoy the party instead of worrying about pictures.
