Selected as Party of the Day on October 12th!
Our Little Honey's 3rd Bee-day
ByParty Recap
Alayna's 3rd Bee-day was a perfect way to celebrate this Little Honey's birthday. Since birth, bumblebees have been her theme and since she loves picnics the two were combined for a 3rd Bee-day Bumblebee Picnic.
Guest were welcomed to "Alayna's Bumblebee Picnic" as they arrived. The red and white checkered table cloths and wood picnic benches helped them get into the picnic mood. The heat of the day was staved off with a vented canopy, cool drinks, and food served in baskets at each table - guests did not have to stand in line in the sun to get food. The fried chicken, salads, and chips added to the ambiance and guests enjoyed the "family style" serving.
The picnic theme continued into dessert. Guests enjoyed a "naked caked" that was drizzled in caramel to look like fresh honey. They found a variety of fruits refreshing and also enjoyed ants on a log, honey straws and other picnic and bee themed sweets.
I enjoyed coordinating all of the little details, tying them in with the colors, the bees and checkered fabric.

It takes a village and we are so blessed with those who choose to be a part it. Because of that, it's only right that I give those that lent a helping hand in preparing the credit that is due. Thank you!!

Did you buy a stamp to do the 3 or did you paint the hexagons?
