I finally decided on a baseball theme for Punkin's 2nd birthday a few months ago when I ran across some cute decorations at TJ Maxx. He currently loves baseball & I knew I wanted to go with a red, white & blue them & make it like a ballpark & have hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, cracker jacks & bubble gum! =) Pinterest also helped me decide on a theme!
Jake has a great big backyard & it worked out PERFECTLY for the party. There's open space but also a big shade tree. The weather was so perfect & it wasn't too hot so it was actually really enjoyable! I made the "CONCESSIONS"s sign with my silhouette machine & it turned out just how I envisioned it! It was a bit windy & I started to freak out about all the decorations, but it all worked out!
I got the cardboard popcorn holders at TJ Maxx & can be be found here.
What's a baseball game without cracker jacks!?
Mimi found the "2" for us at a flea market & I just painted it red!
These were little goodie bags for the kids. Big League Chew gum & Cracker Jacks in an old school locker basket my mom gave me.
All the frames are from his birthday party last year that I collected from Goodwill, that I just spray painted different colors! =)
We placed his presents in a lil red wagon that Mimi let us borrow.
We found these cute little baseball sports drinks at Wal-Mart & in the perfect colors! Mimi also had this little wagon we put them in. The wagon quickly became Ryder's favorite toy & he pulled it around ALL night!
The bounce house was a HUGE success! It was a jump house & a slide! Ryder loved it! I didn't get to watch him play too much because I was busy taking care of everything else, but he LOVED it & would slide down on his belly! Ha! You can rent this one & many more here.
I just ordered cupcakes & a smash cake for him because I didn't want to have to deal with making them! ;) My mom NEVER bought me a store bought cake & then one year she did & I was really upset & said, "You bought me a store bought cake?" Lol...kinda bratty yes, but it was just special that she always made ours! Maybe one day I'll make Ryder's! Ha!
His little baseball smash--chocolate on the inside of course!
All the fixins for the burgers & hot dog...there was chili in the crock pot for chili dogs!
YUMMERS!!
That about wraps up the decor! It was pretty simply & not too much work, & my colors & theme was easy to work with! I was very happy with how everything turned out!
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions!
