Truck yeah! Liam's second birthday truck and tractor

Liam's second birthday turned out amazing. I have to say I overdid it this time. I had to share my ideas and how everything came out. I am so proud of myself, the day turned out beautiful and I was so thankful for the help from my mom and her little touches. Hope you enjoy just as much as we did.

I bought several great items from oriental trading.  The blow up road signs for an amazing touch and fairly cheap from them. I also ordered some cardboard signs and the street lights that were very easy to pop together and display.

I really thought the cake turned out lovely. We ordered it from a local bakery but to cut cost you could easily make a simple sheet cake on your own and decorate with some cool tractors and cars like they did with this end here.



Also the construction site was an awesome touch. Just taped some empty boxes up, some signs, I also picked up some orange buckets and orange beach balls as a little added touch to the site.


I also thought the food tags were a really cute touch that added a lot to the food table. Just printed some truck graphics I found through google and put them on colored paper. Party goers really seemed to enjoy it.

I also used a black plastic table cloth and found some white duct tape. I cut three inch strips and put them spaced down the middle and boom a road table!!

We also found a small jump house and a pool to keep the kids cool and busy, they loved both of them!



Here is a few more pictures from our lovely day. Hope this helps you with any party idea. Take time to enjoy your hard work. Take lots of pictures and enjoy the fun!

Truck Birthday Goodie Bags

If you ask Liam, He would proudly tell you he is having a "garbage Truck" birthday!

I however would like to say it is a commercial truck and construction theme : )

But which ever way you prefer works for me.

For this project I used a lot of things from

Michael's Crafts

Oriental Trading

Die cuts ordered off Amazon

I thought these Goodie boxes came out perfect, and I just know they kids are going to love them!

I started out using Chinese take out boxes that I got at Michaels Crafts for .98 each.

I also picked up scrap book papers that I used as the black and white stripe on the outside of the box, and found stickers and die cuts to put in the center.

Most of the goodies I purchased from Oriental trading. They have almost anything you can think of, great prices and inexpensive. I filled my goodie boxes with sign lollipops, a cone, 1 matchbox construction car, tiny signs, stickers, and a couple car gummy chews.

I thought they came together nicely and everything fit perfectly inside!

I used glue dots for a lot of this project, those are my go to glue!

I cant wait to see what the kids think!

Here is the finished goodie boxes they came out amazing if I say so myself : )

What do you think?

I can't wait to see what the guest think!

Here is a another photo, image of the content and close up of the box. Enjoy!

In the back groud you can see one of t he construction signs I will be using for the party!

Stay tuned for more of Liam's Second Birthday and truck loads of fun.......
