A Joint Barnyard Birthday Party

I love thinking of fun, unique ideas and twists on popular birthday themes, and it was no different for my children this year - We always have a joint party as they were born on the same day but two years part, and the Barnyard Farm Theme was a perfect solution for their 5th and 7th birthday celebrations!

• Desserts

  I wanted to create a "farm shop" look for the main desserts table which I set up indoors, and fill it with farmhouse or homemade produce: * a homemade, rustic apple and berry pie instead of a cake with a personalized birthday banner, * homemade "Pigs in Mud" chocolate pots with "Made on the Farm" labels, * a large wooden bucket filled with apples, "Hatching Chicks" cake pops displayed in empty egg cartons labelled with "Free Range Eggs" printable egg box labels, * candy eggs inside egg shell plastic containers, as well as the farm animals decorated cookies from , which were displayed onto a square bale of hay.

• Party Favors

  Favors included milk carton favor boxes filled with farm cookies which the kids decorated during the party, the red barn favor boxes with sweet treats, barn animals party hats from the printable collection and DIY Stick Horses, which I made by gluing large horse icons from the printables kit onto wooden dowel rods purchased at my local hardware store. These were decorated with red gingham ribbon and buttons for a whimsical look. Farm honey pots decorated with wooden bees and printable labels were provided for the parents from a local farm.
