![]() I didn’t get any pictures of it, but it was pretty fun to see those big flamingos in my backyard. We also blew up some large flamingo pool floats and put ball pit balls inside. I just love how the hot pink flamingos pop off the green grass. One was a flamingo ring toss, another a hand painting station, and the third a water gun cup race.įor the flamingo ring toss, I got lucky and found yard flamingos at the dollar store, so it didn’t cost much to get a bunch and put them in the yard for the kids to try and lasso with some rings. To keep all of those toddlers and kids entertained, I had set up a few activity stations in our backyard. I think it turned out so cute! It’s simple, but makes a big statement.įor the flamingo head, I just cute out a piece of pink cardboard and drew a simple flamingo face on it. After a couple minutes the hot pan melted the candy melts enough that I could smash them. The best way I found to melt the chocolate circles was to heat a sheet pan in the oven, then put parchment paper on it, and drop the circles on top. For the feathers, I bought pink chocolate melts and melted them on parchment paper until they were soft enough for me to use the back of a spoon to squish them out into a feather shape. I then used this recipe to make my own buttercream icing and colored it pink. I used two vanilla boxed cakes and made each box into it’s own layer using an extra deep cake pan. It was so simple that I figured I could make it myself. She chose the one simple one, surprisingly. Several options were very elaborate, where I would have to hire someone to make them, and there was one simple one. ![]() I gave my daughter a few options of what she wanted her birthday cake to look like. Now, let’s talk about this cake for a minute. Then I put out the leftover cookies from the lemonade stand that didn’t sell. I made the cake, got some cupcakes from the grocery store and plopped some flamingo toppers in them. These were a great focal point and allowed me to showcase the theme in a big way.Īs far as the actual dessert goes, there wasn’t anything too crazy. Plus another one inside where all of the food was. A kids table on the patio where all 13 toddlers could sit to eat snacks and cake. We set up two different tables for this party. And all you need to buy is one $8 piece of plastic to make it happen. I used my tried and true balloon garland technique to make this installation above our outdoor couch. A little searching on Pinterest and you can be totally inspired to create your own masterpiece. I love using a piece of black posterboard for a “fake” chalkboard. However, I did kind of forget what I had as it got closer to the party and ended up not using a couple of things. It was nice to do it over a period of time. So as I went to places like Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, and Target, I’d pick one or two things up. ![]() I was able to find a mix of things over time since we had the theme picked out months ago. But in order to not have pink overload I mixed in a tropical twist with pineapples, palms, and a little green and blue. It was pretty easy to come up with a color scheme for this party as everything started with pink. Keep scrolling to see all of the details and a ton of pictures! But the love of flamingos carried over to her birthday party this year too, and I kind of took it to a ridiculous level. You can see her flamingo themed room here. ![]() My daughter is pretty obsessed with flamingos, mostly I think because they are pink. Mostly because I feel like this party has a lot of Pinterest wins, haha! Have you ever seen those Pinterest fails? So funny. I am so excited to share this party with you guys! As I posted on Instagram, I’m going to toot my own horn a little bit with this flamingo birthday party. ![]()
