Savannah's 9th Birthday

Posted by Poki
Each year I struggle with ways to keep Savannah's birthday separate from Christmas as her birthday is Dec. 12th. This year we had a Winter Wonderland Party and found some great ideas online. To go with the theme, we chose white with a bit of blue for the color scheme and ran with it. Savannah apparently told her friends that they should wear these colors to the party! (Goodness...she is her mother's daughter forever coordinating!) I made these snowflake invites:

I forgot to rotate the pic! SORRY!


Next I planned the craft which was this sock penguin that the girls really enjoyed and it also doubled as a party favor!

We decorated the table with white and blue. I made a glittered "tree" like center piece out of foam balls that would be sufficient to hold the cake pops. As the party was in the evening, we turned the lights down and had snowflake votives. Hung snowflake ornaments from the chandelier. Made snowflake cutouts that we put everywhere.



Along with their penguins, we had favor bags that included a snowflake ornament, a blue lollipop, a fingernail polish (blue, white or silver) and a large white chocolate snowflake. I had also made favors with TP rolsl filled with candy, then wrapped with blue tissue paper and tied the ends with white ribbon so they looked like a piece of candy (look close and you'll see them on the table). Then on to the menu!
  • White pizza
  • Cauliflower with ranch
  • White corn tortillas with white queso
  • White popcorn balls
  • White cake pops
  • White chocolate covered snowflake pretzels
  • White chocolate melting snowmen
  • White chocolate hot cocoa
  • and White almond cupcakes with White/blue swirled icing topped with white chocolate snowflakes!
All the planning for 2 hours of special time for a special girl. Wish I had thought to include a picture of her when she was born into the blog. But this will have to do...
