Eliana's Candyland Bday - visuals included

Big JBig J member
in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Eliana is not much into functions, holidays, special occassions but she did quite well all things considered.  We had about 40 people so it was overwhelming at times, but overall, a great time!

A lot of ladies here have expressed an interest in doing a candy theme, so this might be a bit PIP heavy.

Eliana's Great Grandma made these cookies.  It's says "Look Who's 1 - Eliana - Happy Birthday"

Smash cake, which she refused to even touch.

Sneaking some "adult" cake:

Dada, Birthday Parties suck!

Smash cakes suck, too:

Cheeseballs to the rescue!

Hope this helps someone with ideas.  Thank God it's all over!

    We're doing a candy table too and I'm so excited for it!

    The pics are great.  And I would have totally gone after her smash cake since she didn't.  That thing looks tasty!!

    Thanks for posting the pictures! You did an amazing job! Everything looked fantastic! I have a lot of the same ideas for Ella's party! I even bought the same tablecloth from Target! I actually bought a few of them for 75% off after Valentines Day.

    These are super cute! I'm worried T's gonna be fussy too with the big crowd (DH's fam is HUGE). But it looks like you and your little cutie navigated the big party crowd pretty well :) And the smash cake is adorable, I hope someone had a blast plowing into that thing!

    I got them the day after v-day for 50% off.  I bought all the placemats that matched also and used them on all the smaller tables we had too.  Gotta love Target clearance!

    Two questions

    1) how many lbs of gumballs is that? (we're buying online and I have NO idea how to quantify).

    2) were the cake pops hard to make?

    Working on #2!

    I bought this:https://www.amazon.com/Dubble-Bubble-Gumball-Refill/dp/B000NMI4QM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1298347827&sr=8-3

    plus 8 boxes of theater sized boxes from the dollar section at Target.

    The gum balls were actually the most expensive part of the entire table.

    2) were the cake pops hard to make?

    They were not hard to make, but you have to be sure the dipping chocolate is thin enough.  Mine clumped up a bit and I had to add a little oil.
