Suprise Birthday Party

This past weekend we had a surprise birthday party for my wonderful mother in law, and I was put in charge of decorations. I thought I would share my decorations with you, and maybe get your creative juices flowing!!

I wanted really simple, really cute center pieces. I decided to use mason jars I already had, i covered them in two different patterns of scrap book paper and then tied a bow around the jar (bow made from jute string)

 All five of the jars finished!

 Then I needed something to put in my jars, so I found a tutorial on Pinterest for these flowers made out of different colored napkins!

All put together!!

Here is the table at the party all put together! I made the pom poms hanging from the ceiling out of tissue paper. The table cloth: (this is such a cool idea) you can call your local newspaper and buy the end of a newspaper real, the real cost $3 and the kids LOVED IT because they could color on it (and there is a TON of paper on it, I will be using it for a LONG time)!!

 

I also cut out flowers to put all over the table and mini cupcake papers filled with jelly beans for the middle of the flowers (looked SOOOOO cute, and also kept little kids and little hands entertained)!!

 I also made this Happy Birthday banner, it was a little time consuming, but ended up really cute (and can be used time after time)!!!

Cute cake table (again covered in newspaper)

 And of course I have to trow in some cute pics of my babies at grandmas birthday day

(don't mind my husband yawning in the back round, Reese's smile was to cute not to post this pic, sorry hunny)!!!

Cute baby and cute hubby!

And our cute Macy girl!! She was so excited all day that it was grandmas "birfday party"
