So Lily turns 2 in just over two weeks. Last week I realized this bit of information...oops! I've been so focused on getting Natalie ready (and us!) for kindergarten. So I had to come up with something quickly otherwise it would be a party of four :) Well Lily LOVES Dora and Caillou...blurgh. Not exactly inspiring. I really didn't want a Caillou party, although his head would make a great pinata ;) Seriously, have you seen his head?! So that left Dora. I didn't want to do a commercial birthday entirely so I thought we could have a mexican fiesta with some Dora sprinkled in! Technically Dora is South American but we are overlooking this little detail in favor of sangria and taquitos!!!
I couldn't find any pre-made invites that I liked so I decided to mess around in Picnik and made my own. I was inspired by this invite I saw on Pinterest:

Here's mine:
Using basic shapes and colors I "made" my pinata and bunting. I LOVE how it turned out!!
I have a lot of work to do in the next two weeks! Pinterest has been a great source of inspiration for the decorations.

well of course you know we will be there, but i just had to add that dora has a nice head for a pinata, too. :)
ReplyDeletei am wearing my tight rolled denim shorts... cha cha cha!
LOL! I'm mean...but I too think the idea of Caillou's head as a pinata would be excellent, for more reasons than just the shape of his head. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI love your invitation--it came out amazing--nice work! Yummm...sangria...
I LOVE Mexican food! Make-your-own-taco is my fav, and SANGRIA, oh how I love thee! Yummy! And what a fun idea for a party! She is one lucky little girl. :)
