Love The Day Crayon Party Week:: The Set-Up

Mon October 24, 2011 By 39 Comments

This post is LONG overdue, but I am so excited to share my daughter’s second birthday with you! Our little Ella always has a crayon (or marker when she can find one…it’s a problem) in her hand making her party theme was an easy decision. We threw a crayon party for her and all her cousins while we were visiting Utah this August.

Using the primary and secondary colors, I went to work assembling color boxes for each child, arranging flowers and sewing crayon garland while my mom got busy making place mats, hair bows, crayon pillows and crayon wands (she’s amazing)! I designed a crayon printable collection complete with party hats, full candy bar wrappers, drink labels, food labels, crayon banners, name tags and much more.

Throughout the week I’ll be sharing the menu, activities and party favors that made this party so fun & special for our family.
