I recently styled my son’s Surfs Up Party to celebrate his 3rd birthday! Originally, we planned on a shark party ~ but I changed it last minute after seeing the adorable Surf Legend Collection at Gymboree. I love the blue, orange & brown color scheme and my friend happen to have a bin full of Hawaiian decorations left over from my Bachelorette Party {let’s just say we could not stop laughing when we opened the storage container;-) }
The surfboard backdrop inspiration came from Holly at Paisley Petal Events. My husband is not much of a handyman so cutting out surfboard shapes from plywood- as simple as it may have been – would be TOTALLY out of the question. Instead I created a mini version using a 20 x 30 photo print, foam board and the Centerpiece Circles (tutorial coming soon!).
I love making the sweets and treats for my little ones parties. This year I made cake pops, chocolate covered Oreos and shark bite donuts. I’m way to OCD to attempt the cupcakes so I left those to the professionals.
My sister stepped in to save the day after I COMPLETELY forgot to pick up the cookies from the bakery…OOPS. She did a great job considering it was an hour or two before the party.
Each little surfer received his/her own bag of goodies. They especially loved the shark snack container filled with Skittles (per the birthday boys request).
For dinner I served chicken kabobs and an assortment of yummy summer salads
The best part of the whole day was watching these two surfer dudes hang ten on the surf boards!
I am still in disbelief that I have a THREE year old and nearly 5 year old:(
I really don’t know where the time has gone but I am trying to enjoy every last second with both of them
