Birthday Pool Party!

Summer went out with a splash at the girls' 11th birthday party this weekend!  They enjoyed the afternoon with their friends.  Of course, I use any excuse for a party to try my hand at some fun creations.  Since I had some Lilly Pulitzer lanterns in the Any Way You Slice It print, I decided to incorporate fruit and pool fun in the party details!

Here's the Lilly inspired cake!  I can't decorate a cake to save my life, so a pretty pennant made with my Cricut makes this cake pop!  Add some decorated cookies, and it's easy and pretty.

Nautical twine and Lifesavers candy wrap the silverware for the party.

The tablescape for the children's pool party is simple and colorful, with a fruit cookie and a starfish lollipop.  All of the girls filled their green craft bags with sweet treats from the candy buffet set up on the main table.

I included some retro treats like candy buttons, one of my favorites!

Whoopie pies are easy to prepare in the whoopie pie maker I mentioned to you in this post.  Even the adults liked these!

Everyone thought that it was hilarious to drink the pool water punch!

After swimming, the children loved finding their own name in the word search I made for them!

Another big hit at the party was the photo booth!  I'm going to do a separate post on the photo booth including some ideas for props and a tutorial for making your own photo strip pictures.

Each party guest took a Lilly cup filled with treats at the end of the party.

Here are the birthday girls!  It was a fun time for everyone.
