Kimble Khronicles: My Little Party Planner

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Charlotte was very excited about her birthday and very into planning for the event.

It began earlier in the summer when I found some cute candy themed invitations on sale. I knew since Charlotte LOVES candy, we could design any party around that. I was planning on having her party at the house until we went to a party at ASI gymnastics.... She loved the place and continued talking about it days later. So, we decided that we'd have her party there and still continue with our candy theme.

The only problem we faced is adhering to ASI's request of 20 invites.... But, Charlotte got to invite her friends from both of her schools, dance, and some church friends. And, we were thankful to have such a great turn out. Each time and new friend came in, she ran up to them and gave them a big hug. It was so precious watching her excitement.

Below are pictures of the planning and the day.

The cute party favors that Charlotte helped me make -- We found the little containers at The Container Store and filled them with jelly beans. Completed them with a sucker tied to the side.

Then, my favorite new tool to make quick and cute labels!! I bought printer ready sheets of white name tags and had Justin help me align the wording correctly. After that all we had to do was print them, punch them out with our new tool and put cute candy stickers on them.
I LOVE how they turned out!

Gum Drop Topiaries

After making the party favors, Charlotte was feeling very crafty and told me she wanted to make "something else". We looked on-line at images of candy themed parties and came across candy topiaries. We rushed to Michael's that evening and came home ready to create! After making a 3rd trip the next day to get more gum drops, we had 2 gum drop topiaries and a dum-dum sucker one.
Cute and Yummy!
