Great ideas!

Wondering where I can get those fonts that you used on the bunting?? Do you know, by chance?

Thanks so much!

In reply to Sophia.

@Sophia: Fun ideas!!

I saw some Dr. Seuss stuff at Target’s dollar spot recently. Maybe you will find some good things there. Also, I did a Dr. Seuss craft roundup at my other blog: http://croqzine.com/?p=1290

Thanks for the great comment!

I am currently planning my son’s 2nd birthday party. Here are a few of the projects I have going:
It’s Dr. Seuss themed. I have been collecting Dr.Seuss books and stuffed animals (Kohl’s had cute one’s for $5 each a few months ago), plus Dr.Seuss anything will never go out of style in my house. (I’m a big fan myself) The books and stuffed animals will be part of the party decor. For party favors- I found a pack of 50 bookmarks on ebay for $3. Pencils, erasers, and stickers (all Dr.Seuss) found in a $1 section at a certain big box store. A great online source also- oriental trading company. I found enough Cat in the Hat wearable paper hats for all the party guests for just $12. They also have great prices on whimsical candy. I did purchase a few Seuss party items online, but am supplementing with primary colored streamers, balloons, etc (from the Dollar Store!)Making my own cake (but that’s what I do anyway =)) And making cupcakes too. Red cupcake liners, blue frosting (for Thing 1 & Thing 2) The party is in our backyard, and we have a large sliding glass door that I will be decorating with my own Seuss artwork using Crayola Window crayons. I downloaded a Dr. Seuss font, so I will make my own party banner, gift tags and labels, keeping with the theme. Oh, and the food I am making- snacks and drinks from the Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham cookbook!

Can I just say THANK YOU!!!! My baby girl’s first birthday is next month & I wanted to make a stylish, themed party like the gorgeous one you showed here, but my skills at throwing together party decor are a bit pathetic and I’ve been overwhelmed/intimidated by all the blog party phenoms out there. Thanks to your tips I’ve got some good & cheap ideas that aren’t going to take years or boost the stress level. Yay!!

Great post, and thanks for the link-up! :) It’s so funny because I’m working on the munchkin’s first birthday party now and despite all my “heck no!” rhetoric, I’m still finding myself going crazy making cute party favors. Oh well, at least they’re dollar-store friendly. :) Stay tuned.
