Hostess With The Mostess

Each Summer I like to throw my daughter a Summer Play Date with all of her little pals - this year there were 15 kiddos and 8 mama's :)

Almost everything you see I already had laying around from past parties. Cami and I made the watermelon cupcakes the night before. We simply baked regular white cupcakes in lime green liners from Shop Sweet Lulu, tinted the frosting pink and added a few mini chocolate chips on top to fit the theme! My mama friend {who also attended the party} made the adorable watermelon cookies and I ordered matching watermelon cake pops from Lillycakes. One of the mama’s is also a professional photographer so all the amazing photos were taken by Photos by Vitella.

I used my pink Olivia Dru Cake Plate and made a fun watermelon ball display. Thanks to Pinterest for the inspiration on that idea :) I filled the tin buckets with all Target dollar aisle items for a cheap but fun favor for the kids to take home. Scented watermelon stickers, watermelon magnets and of course, bubbles.

The kids all had a blast with none other than WATER BALLOONS. At the end we let them all throw one at the mom's and they thought that was pretty cool :)
