Just checking in quickly with an update on the party prep. Like I said in my last post, we are keeping it very simple. The nautical theme that was launched by the preppy whale invites has now morphed into a color scheme with a nod to the nautical in some of the details, including the kids' food, the favors, and the cupcake decorations. The color scheme consists of a range of blues, white, and a nice kelly green. Cal (the birthday boy's big brother) and I have been working on a banner that we'll use to decorate.
We are using my Cricut to make the letters that we are using on both the banner and the cupcake flags. I love the Cricut and thought I got a good deal on it, though every time I go to JoAnn's I have to avert my gaze from the ones they have on sale and tell myself they're not as nice as mine. Cal really, really loves using the Cricut, and (with a LOT of supervision) it is easy enough for young children to operate.
I'll post a tutorial on the banner and cupcake toppers when I have a spare moment. It is simple but graphically pleasing, and I love the idea that the big bro is helping get ready for our little one's party--even if I do suspect that he's in it for some peripheral gifts.
