I have been shamefully lazy with my 3rd child and his birthday (well, not his first birthday...but definitely his 2nd...) so I really wanted to do something fun this year.
Time was ticking by and I had no time to order custom invites, so I grabbed these cute caterpillars at the Target and hand wrote the invites (ohhh- the horrors, I know!!).
Feeling kinda loser-like delivering them to Bubba's class the same day a perfectly custom princess birthday invite was sent home, I was whining about it with my friends. And
JennyKate, Miss Etsy-Extraordinare, suggested a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme!!! Done!!
I mean, look at the adorable cake.....
So the baker kinda got it wrong. The Very Hungry Caterpillar did not eat through a banana, but who am I to correct her??
Thank you easy for the adorable labels......
These were my favorite part!
Perfect for a 10 am party - the fruit was yummy!
And these cute treat bags......
Bubba was very hesitant to get in the bounce house, but we did what every parent would do - we forced him screaming into it - and he loved it, just like we knew he would! (Don't judge us!)
We also made fingerprint bookmarks!!
And Sis read a story to all of Bubba's guests. Any guesses as to which story we read???
Have you seen a cuter smile?????
Because we certainly did not give every child enough sugar, we made cotton candy. Kinda a learning curve, but I got it and it was YUMMY!!!!
It was by far one of the best parties I have ever thrown - it just came together so well. The weather was perfect, the guests all had a fun time. It was awesome.
Happy Birthday little man! Here's to year number 3!

I love easy!
Happy Birthday Big Guy! Three is a big deal.
Happy 3rd birthday Bubba!
You did great Becca, every detail was perfect. I always say when throwing a party that it's the little details that make it grand!
I love ETSY! Not easy. Easy is overrated.
Looks like a great party and awesome cake!
Very Cute!! looks like everyone had fun.
It turned out SO stinkin' cute...almost as cute as that little guy who turned 3!!! :) What a fun birthday!
I saw some of these pics on fb. I LOVED how it turned out! I totally missed the convo in HB but JK filled me in. She's a creative one I tell ya. She's helping me throw Kiss a 40th bday celebration. You know it will be all kinds of cute and classy!
Cotton candy is soooo messy to make.....or at least it was for me when I made it at school. It was in my hair and everywhere.
LOL at Connie! I caught that too! I knew you meant Etsy though.
What an awesome party! It turned out fantastic :D You definitely went above and beyond!
Freaking adorable!
And that pic of you with the cotton candy...is that your twin or something behind you??? :)
What an awesome theme for a birthday party! Everything turned out so cool!! And I love that you had to 'force' the little man into the bounce house - but that he loved it. That's exactly how Princess Nagger was at that age - now she'd spend HOURS in a bounce house if we let her! :)

Adorable! I can't believe he's already 3!!!!
(Pinning this super cute party!)
Cute cute cute party!! Love that cake- and love that you served food from the book. Seriously what a perfect party.
And, yea I would have been one of the parents throwing a crying child onto the bounce house too- I am sometimes too much of a suck it up mama.
Cute, cute, cute!! Might have to borrow a few of those fun ideas!! Glad the little man had a great birthday!
