Construction Birthday Party

I have a bad habit of being late don't I? On March 28th we celebrated Joaquin's 3rd birthday by throwing him a party. This is what I try to do to get ready for the big day. I select a theme about 6-7 months before the party and then try to shop specials sales, seasonal clearances and of course use coupons. So this years theme being Construction I wanted to use yellows, black and hints of orange and that not only represented a construction party, but Halloween!! So after Halloween 2014 I went to Target (duh) and hit the clearance section... let me tell you I was able to stock up on paper plates, cups, napkins, décor, and candy that I knew would hold on a couple of months. I also used my 40% off coupon at Hobby Lobby as much as I could they have an excellent Construction party décor section. Party's can get pricey like so many other things so take time to plan and check to see what holidays are close to your child's party so you can use some of those colors or décor for the party. I also save a ton of money by making the cake and doing the invitations ...its so much fun!! Here are a few pictures of the party.

Signs I made

Used brown paper to create his invitations... just play with is and have fun!

One thing for sure, things sometimes won't go as plan but all that matters is that your child has fun.


God Bless and have a great mothers day weekend!!
