| We threw my daughter, Violet, |
a Dumbo themed birthday party last week!
It was so fun, and I had a great time creating this party theme. You can see a more personal post over at my family blog,
Last Day Ago, but here at Lark & Lola I just thought I'd share some party details for anyone looking for some Dumbo inspiration.
Enjoy!
 |
| My daughter, Violet Grace, turns two! |
 |
| A Dumbo friend from the Disney Store helped decorate the table. |
 |
| I made her this birthday cake, I took cake decorating classes a few years back. |
 |
| A color flow Dumbo |
 |
| The popcorn machine we rented was a hit. |
 |
| Cake balls & meringues! |
 |
| Almost complete... |
 |
| I decorated with pages from vintage Dumbo books. |
 |
| Don't worry, no vintage books were harmed in this process. |
 |
| Very cute & easy family favors. |
 |
| I also had to get my hands on a 1950s version, found on Etsy. |
 |
| The pages of the vintage book also decorated this IKEA canopy. |
 |
| For easy food we served piglets in a blanket. |
 |
| The industrial looking machine was easily dressed up. |
 |
| Violet & I. |
 |
| A thrifted, vintage, Dumbo looking find. |
 |
| Our special guest! |
 |
| Yes, clowns are sometimes considered creepy. We hired one anyway. |
 |
| He was a HIT with the kids! |
 |
| Well, except one. |
 |
| Happy Birthday Violet! XOXO |
 |
| A Violet party bunting, I made this with felt and pom pom trim. |
 |
| The post-party mess! |
 |
We made the birthday girl clean up.
Thanks so much for visiting!

Loved the whole Dumbo party theme! My little girl looks just like Violet, you wouldn't believe, red hair and blue eyes too!!! My little Lily Grace is almost 18 months and you are giving me alot of ideas for her 2nd Birthday, LOL. I am a stay at home mom and absolutely LOVE your blogs. Sometimes it's just nice at the end of a long day to see what you've decorated, or baked. I look forward to seeing more. Thanks, Julie Johnson, Union Grove, N.C.
ReplyDeleteJulie, thanks so much for your awesome comment! How funny, I feel like I rarely see little red-heads like my Violet until recently they've been popping up everywhere. :)
DeleteDo you have a blog? I'd love to see it! Either way, thanks for stopping by and the lovely comment.
Cheers,
Heather
Hey Heather:
DeleteNo, I don't have a blog, need to get one though. Love all your ideas and crafts, just love your sense of style! Look forward to seeing more. Take Care, Julie
HEATHER, Shut the Front Door! You have outdone yourself. This is stunning. You need to start a party planning business or supply etsy shop STAT!
ReplyDeleteAww, you're always too kind to me Kara! As much as I love it, I don't think I want to do parties as a business. I think I'd be too stressed trying to make things perfect for other people! :-S
DeleteThanks so much for your kind comment :)
Wow, you thought of everything! I love all of the attention to detail. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteOh my goodness! This is one of the cutest parties I have seen. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your attention to detail. I'm such a sucker for details. :)
Happy belated birthday to the darling little gal, too.
Cerri xo
PS, I am hosting a May basket swap and would LOVE to have you play along.
I absolutely love everything about this party! My daughter, who will be two, looooves Dumbo, so this will be our theme as well. Where did you get the cake topper? Did you make it?
