So, I settled on an owl theme, cause I figured that it would be pretty easy to put together and very adorable. With the enlisted help of my sister and some friends, I think we pulled off the theme very well!
Some of the ideas came from Pinterest. Some of them just happened as we were working.
gift bags - the trick to these was to make sure they didn't look angry. The guy on the right looks pretty ornery if you ask me! |
My sister designed and created each of the masks. |
puppets |
We cut out 'feathers' and created wings for the kids to wear on their arms. This was pretty time consuming. I wasn't thrilled with the outcome because they didn't stay on the kids arms very well. |
owls for random decorations- these were a lot of fun to make. As you can tell, we got more creative with the eyes as we went along. |
the big pupils are cute |
look deep into my eyes! |
I strung them together, along with the extra feathers, to make hanging decorations. |
napkin wraps |
Photo wall - Owl 'month' stickers |
Pinterest was my go to place for food ideas.
Owl deviled eggs - they walk the fine line of cute and creepy |
THE BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!
I knew I wanted to do something fun for the cake so
when I came across this idea I jumped on it! My sister made
the cupcakes and my friend Emily decorated them. The final product
looks pretty close to the picture!

Along with the cake, I wanted to make individual owl cupcakes.
