Dax and Nadia's Happy Campers Birthday Party, Part II
9:00 AM
Cake Time:
Party Pretties
My rock star Sister-in-Law made these invitations. I embellished them with twine and wooden arrows.
This DIY was so simple-- recycled cans wrapped in + wrapping paper and twine.
The decor was super affordable. Pine cones collected on walks, wood sliced by my in-laws, and ferns from my sister-in-law's yard. I used free printables for the banners.
This tent was pretty easy. I got logs from my in-laws and wrapped them with twine. I used 3 and then just covered with fabric and pinned in place.
one more of the snack table because it was so cute (she said humbly).
This paper mache deer head is from Hobby Lobby. I used a coupon which made it $12 or so.
I tried lots of arrangements for a backdrop but I've realized less is more. I covered a foam core board in wrapping paper and added a mini deer bust.
Birthday Girl and Boy
That camper hat though.
The canteens were another favorite!
How cute is my baby?! I can't believe we'll be celebrating TWO soon!
If only my hair didn't look like a weird wig and Dax didn't have a "I need a nap" face, this family photo would be perfect. ;)
Because this was a going away party too we invited a few more families than usual. I love having these pictures of our friends and their kiddos. ♥
Since Jordan and I were moving, we made an effort to get a group picture. I seriously cherish this shot of all of us girlfriends.
And that's a wrap. I've tried to link all sources below but if I've missed anything please let me know. Also note, sources might be "similar," vs. the exact item. I shop in store often for the best deals + it's been a year since the party so I did the best I could!
