We put up red balloons and pink streamers from the grocery store.
For their activity, I found some free printable coloring sheets from various websites that they were able to color and cut.
For the cupcakes, I printed tags I found online and taped them on colored toothpicks. The frosting is homemade and the cake mix was from Gleaner's. I blended some defrosted cherries in with the liquid for the cake mix. They turned out moist and delicious!
The other online printable I found and printed on the cardstock was a pattern for a birthday hat. I used the colorsaver setting on the printer to save on ink.
Charlotte had a wonderful Birthday party for very little out-of-pocket cost! One happy girl and one happy mama :)

Cute ideas :) One of my girls had a strawberry shortcake party. I think it was Kayla. I can't remember exactly what we did, but we still have the plastic cake topper in the kitchen drawer with the candles and other decorating stuff. I think I may have stuck it on one of Kariinne's cakes too.
A money saving thing I did a couple of years ago was I made my own "Edible Arrangement" Karinne doesn't like cake anymore and wanted fruit instead. I was going to purchase one, but they are really expensive, so I just made my own using wooden skewers and sticking them in the bottom of a paper cup that I placed in a sturdy vase. I topped the skewers with some paper folded over the top I had stamped with birthday wishes :)
Beautiful! Happy Birthday to your daughter! The decoratons were very cute and she look very happy and that's all that matters!
