I wanted to display dd's monthly pictures (the ones the burglar didn't get). How are you displaying them?

How's everyone else's party planning going?

Ah! I didn't even think about displaying our monthly pics. I've have to figure something out.

Party planning is going pretty good. My big activity plan is a photobooth so I got a tripod thing and downloaded a neat photobooth app. I bought a bunch of stuff on Amazon for people to put on for the pictures. Since the theme is Wes Anderson movies, I've got a raccoon skin hat (not real), some binoculars, an explorer hat, bandanas, and some other stuff but my FAVORITE thing I got for the party was a bunch of bulk felt berets. Why buy one beret for $12 when I can get a dozen for $15? I mean, come on. No question which is the better choice.

I think we decided on a theme. So now I have a date and a theme. Working on location today. I called the park I am thinking about and am waiting for a call back. They have a splash pad but I need to make sure it will be on, because that's the best part.

We are doing a girly monster party. Glitter, tutus, and monster masks! I am considering hiring a face painter but then again, face paint and water play probably isn't the best idea. Hmm. Maybe I should think of another location..,

I love your ideas, ladies! @coleslawder lol @12 barets

I'm just going with twine and clothes pins.

A's party is 10/4 and planning is going good. I just have to get it in gear this weekend and get all of my crafts completed. I bought a big wooden A the deco podge pictures onto. I was going to put random pics on it, but now I am thinking that I should do the month pictures (except that I wouldn't have a 12 month picture yet...). We are going to do a “purple, shabby chic picnic.” We are having BBQ food and renting a bounce house, which doesn’t go with the theme at all, but the kids will love it. We are planning for it to be outside (please don’t let it rain!!) and set up tables with purple table clothes. I am having one of those birthday signs made that shows A’s likes and size. I am planning to make all of the décor, so if I don’t get in gear our theme will go from purple shabby chic picnic to eatn’ BBQ beside a bounce house.

I did a giant poster.

This. And I put each picture on a piece of scrapbooking paper, so they have a "border" around each one. Plus it will keep them from curling.

I'd love to hang them in a timeline... I just can't find a good spot to actually hang them. We're having the party in my parent's detached garage. My dad has tons of stuff up on the walls so there's really not a place to hang anything. I'm hoping it'll be nice so that we can have the garage doors open, otherwise I might post them on the back of the doors.

I'm sort of stuck myself as to where to put them. This looks like a nice compact idea:

hartsl01 · September 2014

@deedee1017 - that is a super cute idea!! I think I actually have a place to put them if I hang them like that! I was thinking of huge pictures with a list of everything he did that month because you know.. I like to make as much work for myself as possible! lol

I know what you mean. I want to wallpaper my entire house in every picture i've ever taken.

LITrally just finished this today. I need to find a wooden frame - DH said he would make one but he is deft too busy so I'll probably check out goodwill this week.

And this is my inspiration pic.

ksimo6 · September 2014

We are putting in the shape of a giant #1 like the pic above.

hollydawnburke · September 2014

I am cheating... I have 3000+ pictures of Molly on my iPhone, so I am letting it run as a slide show on the big screen tv using our appletv. Easy.

bionicb · September 2014

We are some crafty people. Sheesh.

cassey910 · September 2014

I'm thinking a smaller version of this!

SHAWNACPA · September 2014

I just realized that I haven't actually printed the month photos of A yet (how did I not realize this!?!?!?). Shutterfy can guarantee them by Wednesday for and extra $25. What printing place do you use?

muffyvonmuff · September 2014

I upload from my computer to CVS or Walgreens. Its like 19 cents a print and I pick them up in an hour

muffyvonmuff · September 2014

^------ or just search for a promo code online and you can get like the first 50 prints free

stephl3055 · September 2014

I usually choose between CVS or Walgreens if I'm in a hurry and don't want to spend a crazy amount on shipping or don't have free credits. One of the two usually has a coupon code for 40%-50% off.

CherryHolly · September 2014

She has a mad tea party theme so I bought some vintage picture frames to go on the tables and different pics of her will be scattered about

taylormarie923 · September 2014

Don't mind me, just AWing the final product.

KerCo51 · September 2014

These are such cute ideas. I have to get on the party planning. I want to do something with her monthly pics, but not sure where to display them. Maybe the fridge? haha

Love it @taylormarie923‌!!

megs1409 · September 2014

My dilemma is whether to do navy blue or red tablecloths and plates. Attached is our thank you card so you get the theme/colors. Thoughts??

Navy tablecloths and red plates.

SHAWNACPA · September 2014

I am 4 days out and I think everything is under control... The pictures won't be here until Friday, so I will get to be crafty all night long, but that's ok. I just keep telling myself, if something doesn't get finished, I am the only one that will notice. I just need to be rested and relaxed adn enjoy the day of celebration!!

Our party is this Saturday as well. I need to print some pictures off soon. I'll probably place the order tomorrow and pickup on Thursday. I'm baking the cake for the cake balls on Thursday and then I will assemble them on Friday. Her cake is going to be baked on Friday and I'll probably decorate it Saturday morning.

At some point I need to buy the food for the sandwiches we are putting together. And then assemble those...hmm, I still have a lot of work to do.

Want a personalized experience?
