Cow Themed Birthday Party After going all out last year for my daughters “One in a Melon” themed first birthday party, I wasn’t planning on doing anything big for her second. Until I found this theme! For the last several months, Rose would show an immense amount of excitement whenever she saw a cow, and when she did, she loved yelling MOOOOO! at the top of her lungs. As I toyed with the idea of throwing her a small birthday party, I hit up my favorite search engine where I find 90% of my ideas (Pinterest), and came across adorable cow themed birthday party inspo. I was instantly hooked and the party was as good as planned.

How to decorate a Cow Themed Birthday Party Normally, I love putting my Cricut and creativity to good use and make as many of the decorations as I can. Now with two under two, I find that I don’t have as much time and energy as I once did. Can you say sleep deprivation? Instead, I purchased decorations from Amazon and my favorite craft stores. This helped save a lot of time and energy which allowed me to focus on baking and decorating the dessert instead. Below is a list of the decorations that were used for this cow themed birthday party. Cow Themed Birthday Party Decorations Balloon arch – The balloon arch in my set up is actually two different balloon arch kits I put together. The cow one, even though on the Amazon stock photo looks like it would make a full arch, definitely doesn’t. You would need at least three of those kits to make a full arch.

There are tons of YouTube videos out there demonstrating how to put the actual arch together. I haven’t created a how-to video, so for now I can just recommend watching a few tutorials on YouTube. My method is to tie two balloons together, take two sets of balloons tied together and warp them around each other. Continue this process until all of your balloons are in bunches of four. (I leave out the small ones to use as fillers once the arch is together.) To connect the bunches, I take long white balloons (not blown up), wrap one end around a bunch a few times, then wrap the other end around another bunch. To connect the arch to the wall, I’ve used these hooks in the past with success but my wall paint just wasn’t having it.

Cow Print Cake and Desserts For the dessert table, I put together a cow print inspired cake, cupcakes, cake pops, rice crispy “hay bales”, Cow Tails and fruit gummies. at your little cowgirl’s birthday party, consider serving a cow print cake alongside an array of cow-inspired treats. For the cake, I frosted three layers of vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. After I put a crumb coat on, I took a toothpick and outlined the spots. With a Wilton cake decorating tip #6, I filled the white designated area with individual dots. Then filled the spotted area with individual dots of black buttercream frosting. When my husband saw the cake, he said it looked like cow fur. That’s probably the best compliment he’s given one of my desserts. The cupcakes are chocolate with buttercream frosting. After making the cupcakes, I put eight aside, crumbled them up, added some cream cheese and rolled them into cake pops. After dipping them in white almond bark and sprinkling with tiny pink balls, these were the perfect small touch to the dessert table. Food Table A man-n-cheese bar has quickly become my favorite go-to party dish. I didn’t save the recipe I went off of, but if you search on Pinterest, you’ll find plenty. Never worry about your mac-n-cheese going cold by serving it out of a crockpot! Make sure to surround it with toppings and sauces like chicken, bacon, tomatoes, avocado, Chick-fil-A sauce, Buffalo Wings sauce, BBQ sauce, etc. Dino-nuggies were also served but were still in the air fryer when I took this photo. And you can never go wrong with a fruit or veggie tray. For drinks, you can’t pass up a milk bar at a cow party! If you want to take it a step further, have chocolate sauce and strawberry sauce options so children can make the milk to their liking. I also included water and iced tea options. Moo, Moo I’m Two I absolutely love how everything came together! This might be my favorite party I’ve put together to date. The kids all had a great time, ate way too much sugar and were zooming around in circles until they crashed. Both of my daughters outfits came from Amazon. I was really impressed with the quality of both. Rose’s outfit came with a onesie, skirt and headband. The skirt was nicely full on it’s own and didn’t need an additional filler. Violet’s onesie was stretchy and just too cute for words with the arm tassels. I paired it with pink pants and a tutu to match her sister.

How to decorate a One in a Melon themed birthday party Although the party wasn’t going to be until March, I started purchasing items at the end of the previous summer. I was able to take advantage of end of summer sales and also knew I’d have a hard time finding watermelon themed items in February. One of my biggest pieces of advice is to plan ahead! Once you have a date and theme picked, think about some simple tasks that can be done in advance or if there are any sales you can take advantage of now that won’t be available closer to the party. I purchased the One in a Melon backdrop and stand from Amazon. This stand lets you have full control of the height of the backdrop which is perfect for a one year olds party. We had it set up high most of the time so moms could take photos holding their little ones. When it was time for the group photo of the kids, we lowered it down. Photo tip: when trying to get a bunch of one year olds to stay in place, put some snacks on the ground! They’ll have no reason to run away! The watermelon garland across the fireplace was found at Hobby Lobby. They no longer sell it but I have seen it posted on Ebay. I made the Happy Birthday and month banner with my Cricut. It definitley took some time, especially with a demanding little one, but sometimes you just can’t beat homemade! One in a Melon Dessert Table My favorite area of a party to decorate is the dessert table. I love to spend hours looking up ideas for the perfect themed desserts and layout. For this party, I purchased the tablecloth and plates from Amazon, the surfboard shaped platters from Dollar Tree, and the dessert stands, crate and food signs were purchased years ago that I’ve reused over the years. The One in a Melon signage you see used across the party area was a downloadable purchased on Etsy. I ordered some of the signage from iQuickly and some from A JOOP HOUSE. This cake was actually my second attempt at a watermelon themed cake. The first one was rushed and never would have won any kind of beauty contest! Unfortunately/fortunately there are no photos to show my sad first attempt. Since the party had to be canceled at the last minute the first time due to a cold going around, I was able to take my time with this one and was pretty pleased with how it turned out. I made the cake topper with my Cricut. This was the first time I thought I’d try my hand at decorating cookies. After this experience, I have a new found respect for people who do this for a living! I was pretty proud of how they turned out for a first timer, but for the next party, I’m leaving it to the experts! To save time, I purchased Pillsbury sugar cookies that I cut into shapes after baking. For the royal icing, I found a recipe on Pinterest and then watched a few YouTube videos on how to create the watermelon rind look. I just love how simple it is to incorpate the watermelon theme in this party, and the cupcakes are the perfect example! I died some cake batter green, topped them with pink died vanilla buttercream frosting and sprinkled on some mini chocolate chips. No matter how far in advance I plan, I always feel like I’m rushing around at the last minute looking for something. For this party, mini chocolate chips were it! I don’t know why they were so hard to find but I had to go to three different stores before finding a bag! If the green cupcakes and pink frosting weren’t enough to get the theme across, you can add cupcake toppers of watermelon slices. The cupcake toppers were all made with my Cricut and then glued onto toothpicks. If you want to go another step like I did, add some watermelon flavoring to the pink icing. If you’re looking for a sugar free option to add to your dessert table, these jello pudding cups are the way to go! I purchased sugar-free jello and sugar-free vanilla pudding that I added a few drops of pink die to. The mini chocolate chips on top would have to be removed if you’re looking to go completely sugar free. These brownies had nothing to do with the theme, but I can’t have a dessert table without chocolate! For as simple as they were, they were surprisingly a big hit. Thanks Dolly! Because you can’t live on sugar alone… Don’t forget about the real food! I always love giving my guests plenty of options when it comes to food. For snacks, we had pretzels, chips and salsa, a fruit tray and a watermelon cucumber salad. For drinks, I had iced tea, watermelon juice and water with watermelon slices in it. The watermelon bowl was a last minute find from At Home. The plates, napkins and glass carafes were all from Amazon. The water drink dispenser was from At Home as well. Since there was such a wide variety of ages at this party, I though that a mac ‘n cheese bar would be perfect for lunch! This way everyone was able to build their bowl how they wanted it and choose what was age appropriate for their kids to have. It was a huge hit! I found the crockpot mac ‘n cheese recipe on Pinterest and then added chicken, bacon, avocado, cherry tomato on the side. One in a Melon Party Favors You can’t let your guests leave a party empty handed! The adults were able to grab a to-go box and fill it up with as much dessert as they wanted, while the kids took home bubbles. The pink boxes were purchased from Amazon. I then added on a One in a Melon decal that I cut out with my Cricut to match the cake topper. Can you tell I live for the details?! I hope you have a great time decorating your little ones One in a Melon party and that you were able to get some ideas from this post.

Start with a yummy spring-themed cake or cupcakes, and don’t forget to include a few healthy snacks like fresh fruit and veggie platters. You can also serve up some fun drinks like lemonade or smoothies. Favors: Send your guests home with special spring-themed favors that they can enjoy after the party.

]]> Spring-Themed Birthday Party Ideas for 1 Year Olds

Looking for the perfect way to celebrate your little one’s first birthday this spring? Spring-themed birthday parties are a great way to bring the beauty of the season into your celebration. From colorful decorations to sweet treats and fun activities, there are plenty of ways to make your baby’s special day a memorable one. Here are some ideas to help you plan the perfect spring-themed birthday party for your one-year-old!

Decorations: Start by setting the scene with festive decorations. Brightly colored streamers, balloons, and paper flowers make for a cheerful atmosphere. Hang up a few banners with sweet messages for your baby, and don’t forget a pretty centerpiece for the table. Using a play off of words theme, there are so many “one” included phrases that it could be hard to decide which direction to go! Below are a number of spring-themed birthday decoration boards to help give you the inspiration you’re looking for!

Activities: For this age, it’s important to keep activities simple. Your baby will likely enjoy playing with toys and taking a few exploratory steps around the room. For older siblings and guests, you can set up a few craft activities like painting with washable paints or creating paper flowers.

Food: Serve up some delicious treats that celebrate the season. Start with a yummy spring-themed cake or cupcakes, and don’t forget to include a few healthy snacks like fresh fruit and veggie platters. You can also serve up some fun drinks like lemonade or smoothies.

Favors: Send your guests home with special spring-themed favors that they can enjoy after the party. Mini potted plants, flower cookie cutters, and bubbles are all fun options.

Planning a spring-themed birthday party for your one-year-old can be a lot of fun. Use these ideas to help you create a memorable celebration that your little one and all of their guests will enjoy!
