Transportation Birthday Party {GUEST POST}
A little over two years ago, I shared my bestie and SOTD contributor, Allie’s fun transportation themed baby shower. Well that adorable boy made his appearance and totally brightened her world. He just recently celebrated his second birthday and Allie (who’s literally reading this with a brand new baby in tow) created a super cute transportation themed birthday party in his honor! I’m so happy to share her ALWAYS ADORABLE coordinated party details here! With a theme like transportation, road signs were a décor staple seen throughout. She made them fit the birthday theme staging them near specifically activities or actions. Exit 2 for the back gate, Baggage claim near the favor station, gift dump near the gift area -- so incredibly cute! She used her Cricut machines for all these adorable designs. What’s the best, budget friendly prop to use for parties? Things you already have in your home!

Allie’s always thinking about those “opening the present” shots (as evident from my baby shower, Sarah’s baby shower or Karen’s baby shower). She created ... Continue Reading...
