On Saturday, we had Smith’s Surf Shop at our house. It was the perfect 3rd birthday party for our little man. This post has all of the decor, tomorrow’s post will have pictures of our guests. Happy Birthday Smith!
As you know, I do a birthday sign each year for my kiddos, once the party ends, we take the sign off the stick and hang it in their rooms.
Our goody table
The ladies got to leave with Coconut Passion lotion.
And the guys left with colorful popcorn.
Andrea found this sign for me. It was perfect!
Everyone got a lei to wear when they walked in the door.
Flip Flop lights
Andrea also made the invites, the banner, and the food labels. Andrea is genius!
Of course we had Hawaiian music!
Delicious cupcakes! (No, I did not make these! The mama knows to leave some stuff to the professionals!)
Everyone also left with either swim trunk or surf board cookies.
This is just the decor…actual pictures of people tomorrow :). If you’re wondering if I made the cookies, I did not. Remember my rules for entertaining? You should only make 3 things. Entertaining is about enjoying your guests and relaxing at your own party…not slaving away and missing all the fun to make everything perfect. This mama wanted to have a good time at the Surf Shop…and I did :)!

Love it! So sweet–my favorite is that after the parties, you hang the signs up in the kids bedrooms. Such a great idea! I might have to steal it 😉 Do you make the signs yourself?

Adorable party! Can you please post contact info for your friend that makes all of your birthday signs. I'd love to get one made for a baby shower. Thank you so much! xoxo
Mix and Match Mama says
I'll ask her about the signs. She only does them for me, so I'm not sure if it's an undertaking she wants to take on. I'll let you know!

Is it time to start working on and shopping for Smith's 4th birthday yet?!?!?! Just in case I don't get enough birthday party fun of my own I get to live vicariously through your kiddos as well! I loved getting to be a little part of his special day 🙂
