Sock Monkey, Stars, Red Wagons, Balloons / Birthday "Sock Monkey Boys First Birthday" | Catch My Party

This was my first birthday party I decorated for as a grandmother. I wanted it to be special. I asked friends and family to start collecting red wagons and sock monkeys. I created and drew the decorations in PowerPoint and cut them out and made my own banners, signs and decorations with the exception of a few things I added from another Etsy shop. My cutouts can be purchased at:

What People Ate

We had sock monkey cupcakes which a friend made, pulled chicken (simple recipe), meatballs, chicken ball with crackers, spicey chicken rotel, mini sandwiches and regular snack foods.

Hello! I made the sign. I bought the corkboard at Staples in the Martha Stewart section. I glued a basic yard stake to the back. I sell the decorative cutouts on my Etsy site! You just cut them out and use small straight pins. I found the pins with little balls at the end and it made it even cuter! The only thing that is not included in the packet are the letters. I just basically typed the letters in Word or PowerPoint and made them large and red and printed them out and cut them out. I added little ribbons to the balloons to make it look like the strings on the balloons. I can send you a close up of the picture if you want and if you can't do the letters, please let me know and I can do them for you.

Also, the sock monkey with glasses is not part of the set, but I can send that to you so you don't have to buy the entire Smart Sock Monkey set. There is a whole other set with glasses that I made for children who wear glasses.
