Real Party – Just Monkeying Around

I love going to parties where my friends flex their creative muscles, because not only are they fun to go to, but you can “borrow” a few ideas. We were at Z’s second birthday party on Saturday, and because she’s a little monkey, mom decided it would make a perfect theme, and I agree. Great party highlights included the older kids peeling their bananas with their bare feet and a jungle scene photo area.

How cute are the monkey cupcakes? Their faces are mini wafers with licorice mouths. Kids will eat just about anything on a stick, and this centerpiece was no exception. Her goody bags were perfect, personalized bags of homemade playdough scented with banana essential oil, tied to a monkey cookie cutter and a monkey lollipop. And I just couldn’t bear to drink out of the monkey cups. They even had little paper tails.

Thank you C for letting me share!
