rainbow birthday party

We celebrated Violet's second birthday a few weeks ago with a rainbow themed party. After we bought our house I knew that I wanted to have her party there -- and a party was great motivation to get all of our things unpacked and put away before we had family and friends come over! Here's a few photos from the big day:

Rainbow Celebration Invitations c/o Minted

The birthday girl's outfit: pink heart dress + cat shoes

Decorations: rainbow balloon + DIY rainbow birthday banner + DIY felt heart garland

Party Favors: Target dollar spot bubbles, fruit snacks, horn blowers, party favor bags + rainbow favor tags c/o Minted

Food: Rainbow Sugar Cookies from a local bakery + Rainbow Sprinkle Ice Cream Cake (it was so good!) with a lotus flower candle. The lotus candle was so fun, it's like a sparkler and when the flower opens there are 14 small candles that also light up. I didn't take photos of the rest of the food (fail!) but we had a variety of appetizers: meatballs, pimento cheese cups, egg rolls, mini corn dogs, popcorn, fruit, and french onion dip.

Violet was so happy running around playing with her cousins and friends and eating as many rainbow cookies as she could get her hands on. And H and I had a lot of fun throwing our first party in our new house. Thank you to all our friends and family for helping us celebrate our little girl's big day!
Happy 2nd Birthday Violet!
