Color Party

It's easy to throw a cool party on a budget. All you need to do is think of a color or two and go with it. For this birthday we chose YELLOW! Before my niece was 2 every time you asked her what color something was she said yellow so it was the perfect choice for her 2nd birthday party.

Once you have your color picked out you can start looking for things on sale that are that color. Anything from flowers, to candy, to platters.

Yellow Dress and a plain yellow smash cake

Yellow Mustaches for the boys and grandmas! Cut out of yellow paper and sucker sticks.

We took pics of all the kids and shot yellow silly string at them when we counted to 3! They loved it!

Cupcakes on cupcake holder. We got a cheap cupcake holder at Big Lots (we used it for her first birthday too. Spray paint the number they are turning and add a little flair to it! The hot glue gun is my hero!

Paper sacks with yellow polka dot ribbon, yellow mustaches in yellow spray painted foam, yellow kazoos, oreos on sucker sticks dipped in white chocolate with yellow sugar, yellow now and laters, and yellow mary jane candies. Most candy can be found at the dollar store for cheap.

A foam E (for Emily) with yellow flowers in it, lemon drop candies, yellow daisies, and yellow whoopie cushions for the boys!

Yellow pinwheeles, yellow rice crispies, and yellow necklaces.

Yellow table cloth and yellow sign made out of different style of yellow scrapbook paper.

All in all it was a great party. We had a hula hoop contest with a yellow hula hoop. We had a ball toss with a yellow ball and yellow buckets. We had 3 large yellow buckets with yellow yoo-hoo, water, and lemon drop soda.

If you plan on doing a party like this, chose your colors based off of a holiday for cheaper stuff. Like right after Valentines Day you can get really cheap pink or red candy. Stock up on black and silver candy during halloween for a pirate party. Always think ahead!!
