Flamingo Birthday Party

30th May 2019

Super small and simple Flamingo party that you can do with a quickness! A little dollar store, a little Target, a little Amazon…the triplets of easy and cute party planning. Here are a few details for all of you hoodlums out there.

Customized anything is the best thing in the universe. I customized this template on Zazzle that my 4 year old picked out. I ordered them in a tiny 3 by 5 size and they were cute and made the corners of my mouth move upward in a smiling position.

I don’t want to surprise anyone, but those cute mini lawn flamingos came from Target in the dollar spot, which is actually up to a 5 dollar spot. That is also where I found the cute metal cake stand a year or two back. The two lacey containers and the solid ceramic pot are from Ikea where I hope to be laid to rest one day.

Fishing line and balloons helped me finish her party reallll quick in the final 15 minutes. I taped a napkin on to the light pink ones for cheer and good measure.

The napkins are from Target and the plates you can get at Mighty Dollar and feel mighty about your one dollar plates. The runner is from Hobby Lobby and I’ve used it for 3 parties and counting: Disney Zombies, Series of Unfortunate Events birthday, and now, Flamingo party. It went back in the party trunk and lives to see another celebration.

You can buy these lights at a ton of places. This particular one is from Target, BUTTTTTT I got this Target light at Bargain Hunt for 2.50 so two fingers in the air if you’re a gangster.

These food picks came from Oriental Trading Company in packs of about 5 million. I scored each pack for a little over three bucks, one of each, and ripped the idea straight off of their site. They were too cute and I thought they went well with the neon light flamingo. You can also buy these same picks on Amazon. Click to find the flamingos here and the palm trees, here.

Holler if you hear me on these cups/favors from the dollar store. That’s right, one dollar. Don’t hate the player.

Inflatable drink floats used to serve ice cream. That’s it. I’m done. It’s my favorite. I’m sure everyone has seen these little floats in the Target cheap spot and I had to have them. I had to have 6 exactly, and then figure out how to use them at my child’s party. I bought clear pedestal dessert cups for another party and they so happened to fit perfectly in the drink holders! How fun is this, Sally?

You can pay 100 dollars a cup for Dippin’ Dots OR get this brand for 99 cents a cup from Kroger. I vote Kroger. I not only voted, I bought 9. This was another super fun unexpected birthday treat!

The balloons came in one pack from Amazon and the girl came from my womb.

Also, this decor is weak sauce but so is your mom.

Sand dig! I did this years back at my two oldest daughter’s 5th and 2nd Easter themed birthday. It’s an activity and a favor all in one. These favors are all Spritz from Target: glow in the dark ooze, flashing rings, and flamingo erasers that you can take apart. Actually, I lied. The erasers were from the Target bargain area. (I’m trying to see how many different things I can call that spot in one post.)

Each guest went home with the favors they dug from the sandbox, their Flamingo cups, and one of these pineapple doughnuts from Krispy Kreme! I tied the boxes with black and white baker’s twine and they were perfecto. It was so easy and perfect that they have these as one of their summer doughnuts! I thought, “Rebecca, the kids might think these are gross.” Then I thought, “These kids don’t know what’s good for a party.” Then I felt better about buying them because they were special in my party heart.

This cute watermelon/flamingo float/pineapple shirt is from Walmart, their Garanimals brand. Listen, Walmart has upped their game in the clothes department from kids to grown stinkin’ ups. Get it, Walmart. Thanks for all you do for affordable cotton materials.

Pin, share, enjoy!
