One of my dearest friends’ second daughter turned one a few weeks ago and Andrea asked us to create the invitation and some fun paper products for the party. We were delighted to be involved! You may remember that last year, Andrea asked us to create the owl notecards for Tate and we loved them so much that we designed some invitations too.

Andrea wanted to use the owl theme for Tate’s party, which I thought was just perfect! We customized one of the invitations to add a few pictures of cutie-pie Tate. {I thought I had taken a picture of the invitation in the daylight but alas I didn’t, and the ones I just tried to take do not do the invitation justice…so we’ll skip the invitation for now.}

There was a delicious spread of food at the party, including chicken tenders from a local restaurant we all love and a hot dog bar! How perfect is that for a kids’ party, right? Andrea had a ton of bright yellow flowers around the house; she put lemons in clear vases for added pops of color. And I love how she used clear mason jars to hold the colored flatware and napkins – so clever.

For the party favor, Andrea ordered those crayon rolls {bottom right picture in collage} in a fun owl print. I keep Molly’s in my bag and it’s come in so handy. Best.party.favor.ever!

Tate’s big sister Rae helped out with the decorations, making owls out of painted toilet paper rolls, fabric scraps and googly eyes. I thought I had a picture of them, but I don’t…trust me, they were so cute and Andrea said it was a fun craft to work on together. Rae also painted on the glass doors in their kitchen. It was so festive and I am sure she had a blast doing that! {I forgot to ask Andrea how easy that was to clean up.}

Andrea, thanks so much for asking Beverly and I create the invitations for Tate’s party! It was fun to work with you as always, and it means so much to have the support of our friends. Thanks, too, for including my little family in the festivities – we had a blast!
