A Garden Party!

My dear friend, Ashley, threw an amazing

GARDEN PARTY

for her daughter's 2nd birthday!

It was so beautiful and well planned

that I just had to share!

I hope you enjoy this party

as much as we did attending it!

The Riherd Family

Welcome to Aubrey's Garden Party!

Ashley hand painted a large sign that showed guests the way to Aubrey's party!

She modeled the sign after Aubrey's birthday invitation.

The Dessert Table

Lots of sweet treats were served to the party guests! 

Custom party hats, lavender colored floral arrangements, two birthday cakes, chocolate 

dipped strawberry marshmallows and pretzel sticks, chocolate popcorn, mud-chocolate

 covered pies and cake balls adorned Aubrey's birthday dessert table!

The Birthday Cakes

Aubrey had two birthday cakes!

The main cake was a beautiful two tiered strawberry and chocolate cake with milk 
chocolate fondant icing and fondant pink ribbon around the base of each layer. 

The cake was topped off with a floral fondant #2! 

The second cake was a fresh flower cake made especially for Aubrey to blow her candles out!

The Drink Stations

 Pink lemonade, water and black cherry sodas were served in either 

a purple sugar coated glass or burlap wrapped glass. (Your choice!)


The Party Decor

A pom-pom "A" and custom birthday banner were hung from the fireplace.

Ashley showcased pictures of Aubrey throughout the year!

The Toddler Buffet

The toddler buffet table was outside where the little ones played 

and the perfect height for self serve! 

*My little ones were appreciative!*

Mini bottled waters and juice boxes were served in large purple flowering pots!

Pink yogurt melts, pink cookies, pink cheerios and rabbit shaped graham crackers 

were served in small hand painted flowering pots!

Party Activities
Hand Print Garden-Stones

Each party guest received a garden stone to personalize with their handprint 

and take home to their own personal garden as a keepsake!

Keepsake Canvas for the Birthday Girl

Aubrey's party guests and grandparents left a handprint

for Aubrey to keep as a keepsake of her special day! 

This picture also served as her "Thank You"cards!

Very special!

Backyard Play

The Birthday Girl was surprised with her very own
"Garden Home"
The little ones had a blast playing 'house'!




"HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

Staying true to being TWO...Aubrey would prefer we not sing! 

She sure looked cute blowing out her candles though!

PARTY FAVORS

FOR AUBREY'S "BUDS"

Party Guests were sent home with mini garden totes filled with toddler-sized tools and

a hand painted terra-cotta pot complete with soil and seed packets! 

The seed packets included a tag reading, 

"Plant the seeds of friendship, and watch the blessings grow."

**We are definitely blessed with friendship in this group!**

THANK YOU CARDS

Ashley made these picture perfect custom thank you cards at Shutterfly.
