Okay…so I know there are LOTS of you out there who read this blog every day or two and I am needing some input from each of you!
Here is the deal…Gentry’s birthday is just about a month away and I have been brainstorming like crazy on ideas to make her party perfect. Not that she will have any recollection of it whatsoever, but because I enjoy party planning and paying careful attention to EVERY last detail!!
Anyway, as I have mentioned before, the theme is cupcakes. Check out
this post and
this post if you have any questions!!
Now, I am definitely NOT changing the theme…I LOVE it and I have already bought all sorts of sweet goodies to make this bash complete! HOWEVER, I have been thinking and thinking of the wording to make the invitation fit right in and was struggling. Then last night something hit me!
Gentry has this fuzzy little (as in quarter sized!!) pink bird she is obsessed with. She calls it a “tweet tweet.” And then there is also the fact that she is obsessed with real live not so cute birds…and they are tweet tweets too! She is all the time looking out the windows and calling for them.
So anyway, she was playing with this bird last night and kept saying “tweet tweet.” Somehow the idea popped into my ever thinking little mind to incorporate birds into the party…the whimsical, cute ones! Not the germy, dirty real ones!! So what I am wondering is would it be totally crazy to have a bird and cupcake themed party?? I can’t decide and Chris wasn’t overly helpful in giving me feedback!
Here are some of my wording options…PLEASE leave me some of your thoughts! I have to be making a decision in the next day or so because we have got to get the invites done! And speaking of invites…they won’t change. They will still be cupcakes as will the majority of the decor. I was simply thinking I could cut out some birds from some of my scrapbook paper and hang from the ceiling along with my cupcakes. And maybe cut out some little birds to stick in wire that I am going to have in the cupcakes we are eating!!! Clear as mud?!! I’ll take pictures I promise!!
Ok…NOW here are the wording options I have come up with so far!!
These are the ones if we DON’T use birds!!
Sugar and sprinkles and sweet treats for you
Little Miss Gentry is turning two!
Sugar and sprinkles, there’s so much to do
Sweet little Gentry is turning two!
White blonde hair and big baby blues
Little Miss Gentry is turning two!
Ribbons and sparkles and her sweet hair do
Little Miss Gentry is turning two!
Any other brilliant ideas? There will obviously be more to the invite than just one phrase, but that is the start of it anyway! I would love to somehow use the word “shimmer” if anyone has any ideas??!
Ok…now here are the options incorporating those beloved whimsical birds!
Tweet tweet how do you do?
Little Miss Gentry is turning two.
Whimsical birds and cupcakes the theme
Won’t you help make this party a dream?
That was the first one…since then I have come up with a couple of others!
Tweet tweet how do you do?
Little Miss Gentry is turning two.
Whimsical birds will frolic and play,
But cupcakes will be the theme of the day.
OR…same first two lines and this…
Whimsical birds will guide the way,
But cupcakes will be the theme of the day.
I hope this makes sense! I am holding Gentry as I type and whipping this post up quickly because Huntler has a dentist appointment this morning! Wish us luck! He went six months ago and would not open his mouth so I am hoping today goes better! However, this morning I told him we were going and he does NOT want to go! I am planning on taking my camera…is that weird?!!
Ok…I’ll be checking back this afternoon! I hope I have LOTS of comments on this!! Remember I want to know if it is weird to combine birds with the already set cupcake theme and what you think about the wording!!
Thanks dear blog readers!! You are the best!! And I am going to get another giveaway ready soon…I have won two in the last week or so and am going to pay it forward!!! Happy Tuesday!!
