1. Make several types of yummy cupcakes. I had vanilla/buttercream with strawberries, chocolate caramel, vanilla/buttercream with cinnamon and chocolate/chocolate/chocolate!
2. serve a variety of hot and cold beverages (like coffee and sparkling apple cider)
3. ask guests to wear a color that goes with your theme--like PINK--and give prizes for the people who wear the most items (the two gals pictured won)
4. have fun games--like a bubble gum blowing contest (with prizes, of course)
5. allow cute little girls to attend, as long as they stick with the theme color
6. send your hubby a link for the cupcake necklace on Etsy you wanted and you just might get it right before your party! :) He was heading out the door with our son and when I turned to say goodbye, he was wearing it! I was so surprised!
P.S. the cupcake mug was from my mom for the party!
7. buy birthday candles ahead of time or you end up blowing out a tea light!
8. invite friends that will give you stinkin' amazing gifts (which they did)!! Thanks, girls!!! I was truly spoiled!!!
9. offer pampering pedicures to those who are interested (as my mom and SIL were...well, and my niece definitely liked the water!)
10. and it always helps to have beautiful, wonderful, fun-loving friends and family at your party!! Thanks, everyone, for a wonderful time!!
***Bonus!*** Belly shot of the birthday girl at 15 weeks pregnant! I look tired, don't I?? :)
