A Sweet and Simple Birthday Party

Sometimes I begin to immediately feel overwhelmed when I think about hosting any sort of celebration in my own home. My house doesn't scream comfortable, when filled with 20 guests! So, when planning my 2 year old's birthday party this year I went with the "Less is More" approach. Take a look at some quick, concise and easy decorations we used for this simple birthday party.

First, seeing is how its all about the birthday girl, I first designated a birthday chair. I just took my school desk redo, and put it in a place of honor. Dressing it up slightly, you know, for the occasion...
Next, I tried to keep the majority of the decorations to one small area, the dining room. Since you can see the room from the front door, I put up a simple banner with the birthday girl's name.We pushed the dining room table back to make extra space and adorned it with the usual party gear...hats, balloons, flowers, cake, etc.

One special addition to the table decor came from a great idea Jessica will share with you some other time. It was the perfect way to personalize the party decor and remind people of last years festive celebration. Look how much that little sweetie grew in a year!Finally, since most of the guests were adults, we kept the party favors simple with a little sweet treat for the road. We just printed off baggie toppers, added a little sticker, stapled them to our treat baggies and VOila! A simple little thanks to you.I would say that no matter how done up the party room was or wasn't, this little girl had a great day, and fun was had by all!
I'll be linking to these parties this week.
