I realized I never posted my sons 1st birthday party plans from 2012. This has been along time coming, 4 years later I thought it would be appropriate since we are now just upon his 4th Birthday which I will post soon! Then I will be all caught up! This was my first attempt at planning a birthday party for my son, it was fun and I have enjoyed doing this for the last few years now. Although I don’t have as much time as I did for his 1st party.
I am all about saving money and do it yourself. So other than some of the party favors and decor most was homemade.
Here are the details
Favors: The kids table was decorated with tambourines , signs and harmonicas from http://www.windycitynovelties.com .
Also each child got a cowboy hat and Boot mugs filled with western activity book, crayon from Oriental trading Company.
The final touch was the washboards equipped with a spoon to play a tune.
Crafts: A craft table was set up for the kids to create their own Banjo’s to decorate. You can have a jamboree without banjo’s! Games were played including Rope the Horse, bean bag toss and catch a fish.
My Sister in law brought her goats for the petting farm as well.
Food: Popcorn bar, Veggie stand for snacks. Southern fried chicken from Wal-Mart( very reasonable and no cooking for me!) , pulled BBQ pork, corn on the cob, baked beans, pasta salad and corn break. There was also a tray of chicken tenders for the kids.
Saloon: Lemonade, Iced tea, paper straws from Etsy.com. A bucket of IBC root beer and orange soda.
Cake table: Water melon, Mom’s famous grape salad, cake made by me including the bunting on my cricut machine and mini chocolate cupcakes.
Music: Music was played on my Ipod. I was able to download the Country Bear Jamboree Soundtrack which just pulled the whole theme together.
Invitations, food signs, and pennant: made and designed by me with the use of some bear clip art found online.
