Watermelon Birthday Party | Decorations, Desserts and Activities

in Birthday, Celebrations

Last summer we threw a backyard, summer fun filled day to celebrate my birthday twins. It was a watermelon birthday party filled with lots of red, pink, and green desserts, decorations and activities! I chose the watermelon theme since they share their birthday and sharing a birthday is sweet! Now that the summer weather is returning, I’m back to share the full recap of this fun watermelon birthday party day!

Invitations:

Since sharing a birthday is sweet, we went with the watermelon theme that started with the invitations. A fun photoshoot complete with a large slice of watermelon and cute watermelon bathing suits welcomed family and friends to the big day.

Dessert Table:

Ahh the dessert table. I didn’t do many decorations elsewhere and made this the focus on my watermelon color scheme.

I like to include a mix of textures and flavors so everyone can find something to enjoy.

Rice Krispies Treats are always a hit and all but 2 pieces were left on this watermelon looking platter by the end of the party!

My layered green and red jello didn’t turn out as planned so I’ll have to read up more on getting that to work. Regardless, it was Brielle’s favorite dessert, oddly enough!

In lieu of cake, I like to do cupcakes because really, no one wants to eat my kids’ spit. :)

I made these fun watermelon cone cupcakes that I topped on regular sized cupcakes for guests and on a mini cake for each of my girls.

And no, while Hailey tried, I didn’t let them eat the whole thing! The party hats were originally just red but I used a Sharpie and green washi tape to transform them into watermelon designs!

The watermelon paper napkin backdrop was an easy and cheap DIY backdrop for the dessert table display and the watermelon canvases I painted earlier this summer helped to reinforce that watermelon theme!

Activities:

With all the kids attending under the age of 6, I knew I didn’t need a lot of activities to keep them entertained.

We filled the backyard with water toys and backyard games and just let them play as much as possible.

This sprinkler has always been a hit in our house!

Brielle enjoyed her first glimpse into the fun of slime when attending my “Take Your Kid To Work Day” back in April so I made note of the kit we used and got some for the party. The kit makes 3 different colors of slime and you are supposed to use the container itself for mixing. Since I was splitting it up among the kids, I went to the dollar store and got each kid a plastic container and a wood craft stick to mix.

The directions for these slime kits are super easy and it allowed them all to try out this slime craze in this outdoor setting. Everyone had fun and got to take their slime home in the containers!

Favors:

About a month before the party the the girls helped me create party favor tags from paper plates.

I attached their handmade tags to Shrinky Dinks Shimmer and Shine and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle kits for the kids. I know everyone will have fun with these once home!

Overall, I KNOW the girls had a blast at their watermelon birthday party and as a bonus they were stoked to learn you actually get presents on your birthday!

Their birthday is about 2 months away so you better believe this year’s theme is already in the works!

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

If you're on a fence about creating a garden next If you're on a fence about creating a garden next year.... do it! While I personally don't eat everything we grow (not a pepper fan!), I do enjoy being outside, caring for the plants, and feeding friends and family!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
