Events: Barnyard Birthday Party

For Aubrey's 2nd birthday party, my husband and I decided to keep it laid-back and casual and have it in the park. Compared to last year, we didn't want to feel the pressure of having a time constraint and we were lucky enough to find a park that would allow us to reserve a spot for the whole day.

My husband (YES, my husband!) chose the theme this year. I thought about doing some sort of picnic theme but couldn't quite put things together until he just blurted out " Do a barn theme, she loves farm animals!" Bam. Everything fell into place after that.

inspiration board: rustic and vintage party theme

My youngest daughter, Dani, is turning 1 on October 12. It's a few months away but I'm already thinking of possible themes and most importantly, a venue, to execute it all. Even though I'm pretty set on what theme I'd like to have, I'm still keeping an open mind to other ideas. Since it'll be the start of fall, I'm so intrigued with a rustic birthday theme: buttercream frosting cake on a wooden slab, blushes of pink mixed with dark blooms, and a shimmer of gold.
