Birthday Season Begins...

July is always a crazy month around here with 6 family members and at least that many friends having July birthdays. On the 4th we're having an Independence Day / Birthday party for our moms, who both have birthdays near the 4th. Here is some of my inspiration so far...

Firecracker cake from Cooking With Sugar

Marshmallow Pops from Living Locurto. I picked up star shaped marshmallows yesterday to do a smaller version of these on toothpicks.

And these straws from Cupcake Social - this site will make you want to throw a party every day!

I'm working on a few crafty things for the party as well, which I'll post photos of later. (aka, as soon as I get my butt in gear and get some of it done)

Later this month is Fletcher's 6th birthday {GASP} and he's requested a Lego Star Wars party. While there are a ton of Lego themed and Star Wars themed party supplies, the Lego Star Wars stuff is not as plentiful yet. Inspired by this Superhero Birthday Party, I'm going to try to make the supplies myself. How cute is this banner made from comic book pages!?

So far I've gotten these invitations printed and in the mail...

And some sparkly cupcake liners ordered. So much to do...
