Party Recap
I planned a Vintage Inspired Tractor Party to celebrate my son's 3rd Birthday!
He is obsessed with his Great Grandpa's collection of restored farm tractors so it was the perfect theme.
Party Highlights
-
Best Dressed
The Birthday Boy was wearing a custom designed t-shirt...so cute! He LOVES it and wants to wear it all the time now!
-
Activities / Games
We had Tractor Rides lined-up for all the kiddos. They did a big lap through the neighborhood...they were definitely riding in style. We also had Sack Races for the kids....we did a Big Kid Race and a Little Kid Race. Super simple, but super fun!
-
Best Moment
In the morning when the tractors all started arriving my son was literally racing through the house screaming, "Mom...it's ALL the tractors of the world!" He was SO excited and at the end of the day told me he had the "Best tractor party EVER!" Can't beat that!
-
What People Ate
The dessert buffet included lots of yummy sweets! I made the Pinwheel Cake Pops, Cupcake Shooters, Strawberry Shortcake, individual Mason Jar Dirt Cakes and the Birthday Boy's Tractor Dirt Cake.
-
What People Drank
We served Pink Lemonade and water...not too exciting, but it was all gone by the end of the party ;)
-
Funniest Moment
The sparkler candles we bought for Dane's cake wouldn't blow out...we ended up having to dunk them in water to get them out ;)
