I\u2019m baaack, and finally ready to share some of Baby B\u2019s Monster Bday Party decorations with you!<\/p>\n

We had a pretty small party. I wanted to go all out, but hubby talked me down, and we only ended up inviting close family. Then, because it is flu season, only about half of them could come. I tried to keep everything pretty simple, and just tried to stick with the theme.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The table-scape was just a monster tablecloth and some green letters spelling out Baby B\u2019s name. The post about where I got a lot of this stuff can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A bit of a zoomed out view. I made the cupcakes and cake pops myself.<\/div>\n

Hubby actually did a lot of the work on the cake pops. We made them a little too big, but I told him it was okay that they were a little goofy since they were supposed to be monster eyes anyway. The kids didn\u2019t care, and they ate them up!<\/div>\n

As far as the cupcakes go, I just used a couple of different frosting tips and went a little crazy with some candy eyeballs. They were also very yummy! They\u2019re hard to see, but I got the super cute polka dot cupcake liners from Pick Your Plum<\/a>. I also got the frosting tips there!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

For the drinks I just glues googley eyes onto paper cups. The kids also got a kick out of those, sometimes it\u2019s just the little details that kids love!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

You can read the post about how I made these adorable party hats here<\/a>.<\/div>\n

\n
Behind little man\u2019s high chair we just made him a little \u201cthrone\u201d with some streamers and balloons. If it were up to me, the whole wall would\u2019ve been streamer-ed up, but I like the effect.<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0I got that little \u201cloch-ness\u201d looking peel and stick monster sticker at the $ tree, just thought it was super cute!<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Then I picked up some simple little monster party favors for the kids in the Wal Mart party section.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0These cute monster cups I got on clearance at Michael\u2019s. They held the silverware.<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Also got some silly straws for the kids at the $ tree, and as a bonus- they matched the color scheme!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0I got these little monster hand puppets and zip pouches on clearance at Michael\u2019s as well, they went in the kids\u2019 favor bags as well.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Along with those little bday horns, that I just stuck monster stickers on so they would also fit the theme.<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
I handed the kids their favor bags as soon as they got there, which included the monster puppets\/zip ups, monster poppers, horns, sour gummy worms, and some other various candy. Favors don\u2019t have to be extensive\u2026especially if you include candy- what else do kids want?<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Overall, little man enjoyed his first bday party, and that\u2019s all that really counts!<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Hope this inspires you to get a little creative with your child\u2019s bday party! If I can do it- anyone can!!!<\/p>\n
