We loved these whale invites from Tiny Prints. They perfectly
coordinated with our theme. We're big DIY-entertainers,
but I'm a stickler for nice printed materials.
I was ridiculously excited about making these decorations.
I'm not crafty at all, but give me some crepe paper, paper
lanterns, curling ribbon and a hot glue gun, and somehow
I'll give you a giant octopus and a jellyfish garland!
Ms. Octo is ready for her close-up.
I thought the jellies had the sweetest faces!
My dad thought everyone should have to
"swim" through the tent.
This is the pool I bought to soak in while pregnant last
summer, now with MUCH cuter contents: an inflatable
octopus from Pottery Barn Kids and whale and beach
balls from the dollar store.
Our centerpieces were cheapo bubble bowls from AC Moore,
filled with Rhode Island sand from vacation and our tub toys.
I had the most fun making these octopus party hats out of
balloons, paper plates and ribbon. I knew it was doubtful
that the babies would keep them on, but the idea was
too cute not to attempt!
Party hats and high chairs waiting for the guests of honor.
We used sand buckets scored for $1 each at
Christmas Tree Shops to hold favors.
I gussied them up with a resin sand dollar
and personalized tag.
My mom used these felt banners at my shower last summer,
and I thought it would be a nice tradition to hang them every
year on the boys' birthday.
We spread a beach blanket as a hangout
for all the babies in attendance.
I'm sooooooo ready to get my party on!
Stay tuned for more details from the bash!
