Hostess With The Mostess

Theme: Lucky Little Man

Since Grayson's Birthday is on St. Patty's Day, I wanted to incorporate the holiday, rainbow colors, chevron, ties, mustaches, shamrocks, leprachans, etc. 

Decorations: I ordered the "Lucky Little Man" banner from Freckled Bean Designs (found on facebook). Meagan Davis used a rainbow chevron for the border, orange mustaches, and green letters. I got shamrocks and leprachans from Oriental Trading to decorate the walls. I used felt to created rainbow colored mustaches to make a banner for the table, and also used felt to create a Happy Birthday Grayson banner. To top off things, I used Polka Dot Balloons in rainbow colors from the Etsy Shop, Maggiebelles. 

Food/Drinks: The party was a brunch, so we served breakfast food. We had rainbow mini pancakes, lucky charms cereal served in black kettles that I got from Oriental Trading, sausage biscuits, donut holes, and hashbrown-egg nests. I put chalkboard labels on the cups so names could be put on the cups. We used clear plastic ups with orange mustaches straws, I got from Target, and then rainbow sippy cups for the kiddos. We served several beverages: chocolate milk, strawberry milk, orange juice, apple juice, and water. The wooden utencils came from Garnish online, and i got a shamrock stamp from Hobby Lobby to use to stamp each one. 

Favors: i wanted all the kiddos to have something green to wear, so I made them tie shirts with different green fabrics. Then, each kiddo left with a favor on saw on HWTM, a clear plastic bag filled with chocolate covered oreos colored in rainbow colors, then rolos, trying to create the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, with a free printable from HWTM. The parents that came all left with green beaded necklaces that I got from Oriental Trading. 

Activities: The kids had a craft to work on. I ordered St. Patty's tie craft kits from Oriental Trading for them to work on.
