Have you heard of festooning? It's one of my new favorite party craft decorations. I first learned about it when I saw this photo on Jen Smith's Jilly Bean Kids Facebook page.

In case you don't know, festooning is crepe paper fringed garlands that comes in 25' rolls in all these colors.

I saw Brenda F's Backyard Carnival Party and almost flipped. The attention to detail was amazing. Then I discovered she pulled the whole thing off on a budget of $464 for 70 people. That's about $6.50 per person.

Last weekend was my daughter's second birthday party.  We were going to do something mellow -- a picnic at the park with friends and family, no cooking, just takeout.   But it didn't end up exactly as mellow as I planned.

The party went off without a hitch!!  Lainey had a great time, we had a great time.  It was a lot of work, but well worth it.  Here are some pictures to show you what it looked like.

Setting up before the party.  Everything was in Lainey's favorite colors -- pink and purple.  The day couldn't have been more beautiful and if you look in the distance, you'll see the ocean.

I'm really into edible favors.  I always think it's such a struggle to find gifts under $5 that you know your guests will  go home and treasure, but food is a whole different story...

So here are some great edible favors on our site for inspiration...

I loved Stacey W's One Year Old in a Flash Birthday from the first moment I saw it.  The colors, the festive vibe, the little details... and then I saw the homemade photo booth props and I was in pure heaven.

As you probably know by reading my blog, I love photo booths!
