Barrett's DINOSAUR party::Part I


I was NOT on the ball with party planning this year.
It sneaks up on my every year, with Christmas and New Years just before, and I usually design and print the invites before Christmas.
But this year, it really got by me! I knew I wanted to do a dinosaur theme, but I didn't get the invites designed til the last minute.

I cruised the web for ideas, and found WAY too many cute things!
It was overwhelming...and my hubby thinks I'm crazy when I go into party-planning mode.

So, I really kept it all pretty simple. He doesn't think so, but I did!

The dino cake was the most fun!!
My cake lady (the lady that makes all the smash cake for my client's 1yr sessions)
made us a small white cake, so that we could decorate it ourselves.
I love coming up with cake ideas, and Justin always makes my vision a reality! He's so talented!
All I did was bake the cupcakes and place all the rocks.

We used this site {A Baked Creation} as a tutorial.


Some more of the party goodies...



{DINO CHOW}
pretzels, chocolate-covered raisins, peanut butter chips & a gummy worm



Thanks to my sister-in-law for helping me cut out all the cupcake toppers and the banner on her Cricut!
Love that thing!!



AND the best part... The Birthday Boy!!!



I need sleep...
more of the party coming later!!

  3. Laura, what an amazing job! You could definitely do kids parties as part of your business (as if you're not busy enough as it is!)
