This week we gave our son a "Monster Splash Bash" to celebrate his second birthday! Here's my little monster sporting his "oh-so-appropriate" swim trunks!

Since the celebration was an afternoon playdate from 3:30 to 5:30 I wanted to serve dinner. I did a very simple, yet nutritional summer meal for the fourteen little ones. We served beef sliders, corn on the cob and watermelon!
Chocolate milk or water was served in these colorful little cups with straws I made.
Monster lollipops!
These adorable monsters came packaged with stickers to create your own monsters. My daughter decorated all the monsters/monsterettes for the party. I used these as seat assignments on each chair!

Colorful touches.
Each little party goer was given a monster bedtime book dispelling the thought of a monster under the bed. It's a very cute read!
As the little ones walked up to the party they were greeted by monster beach balls! It did not take long before they were in the little pool!

The pinwheels were placed by the pool and water station, simply because a pinwheel reminds of my childhood!
Also by the splashing zone was a "monster tattoo parlor!"
The selection of tattoo options.
After the monster/monsterette splashing, we headed to the back patio for more fun!
I set up an activity table that included monster coloring books and crayons, bendable monster figures and blinking squishy balls!
Monster bean ball toss anyone?
Chocolate milk or water was served in these colorful little cups with straws I made.
Monster lollipops!
Here I am serving up "monster" bite size cupcakes and ice cream nibbles!
I bought simple party hats and added the ribbon to the top of each one.
My son's monster made an appearance the entire party!

ReplyDeleteYou certainly know how to have a monstrous ball of a good time!
ReplyDeleteLovely decorations and I love the party favor. I will have to get that book. I used (still do) to run and jump to my bed, for fear the monster would grab me - so that is a must read for me!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky boy! That looks like a wonderful party. You're quite the party planner :)
ReplyDeleteOh and I was in Southampton on Saturday for a party. Originally I was planning on trying to hit Super Saturday but I decided to pass. And I also was going to stay out there for the entire weekend but last minute changed plans and came back to the city Saturday night because of Sunday's forecast. Had a great time anyway :)
Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

ReplyDeleteA party fit for any of the many monsters on Sesame Street and your little one, too! I love of the monster touches - what fun the kids must have had!
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa....Cookie Monster and all his pals would have loved this! The attention to detail and love that went into this party are obvious. Thank you for shwaring it!

What a fantastic party! I love all the little details, it really makes for a special day and great memories for kids and adults!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you know the book "The Monster Bed"? It was a favorite of my son's. It is about a monster who is afraid of humans...hiding under his bed! We read it so often, many of the words are still fresh in my mind...even though my son is 18!
Lisa, this is absolutely adorable. you could be a professional childrens event planner. Every little detail,down to the straws were perfection, I bet your little guy and all of his friends loved it!! Kathysue
ReplyDeleteHow incredibly cute, Lisa, you did a wonderful job! I bet your son LOVED his party!
