Here’s a great idea for a simple summer party, this adorable party by Katie Grace Designs would make a great outdoor birthday party or picnic. Here’s some ideas from the My Little Sunshine Party.
I love these simple and elegant backdrop decorations made from round paper lanterns, they make a beautiful yet cost effective decoration.
Everything about this party shouts out cute and happy! Here’s some cute three layered cupcake toppers using a large circle, a scalloped circle and for the center a small personalized circle. You can easily create this with circle punches and your favorite paper pack.
I get giddy over the simplest things I know, but I just love this idea of using ribbon and tags to transform regular drink dispensers into something that ties in with the theme. You can use the same paper for all your party decorations to make sure it all matches.
I thought these chocolate dipped pretzel rods were a pretty fantastic idea, not only are they tasty but they also decorate your table. Here’s a helpful recipe from Good Housekeeping to make these super easy treats.
Ingredients
-8 ounce(s) milk chocolate, broken into pieces
-27 (8-inch long) pretzel rods
-Flaked coconut and/or green, red, and white sprinkles (for topping)
Directions
- Place chocolate in microwave-safe measuring cup or mug. Heat, covered with waxed paper, in microwave on High 1 to 2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Meanwhile, place each topping choice on separate sheet of waxed paper or on individual plates.
- Holding 1 pretzel rod at a time, dip in melted chocolate, tipping cup to cover about half of rod with chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off pretzel back into cup. Immediately sprinkle coated pretzel with choice of topping. Carefully place coated pretzel rod in pie plate or shallow bowl, leaning uncoated portion on edge.
- Repeat with remaining pretzels (try to keep pretzels from touching one another in pie plate), and refrigerate about 20 minutes to set coating. Store pretzels in tightly sealed container, with waxed paper between layers, at room temperature up to 1 week.
Here’s some MyGrafico sets that would work well with a sunshine theme party.
