Need some shopping help!

I need your help finding something awesome for Bebe's birthday party. . .

I want to do a small candy bar, and her party theme is ladybugs.  (My parents call her Buggie.)  I want to find a sign or someone to make a custom sign that says "Sugar and spice and everything nice" and tie it into our theme.

I've been on Etsy but haven't found something unique AND affordable.  :) 

Thanks!

Re: Need some shopping help!

  • I'll volunteer! What kind of sign? Like a vinyl banner to be printed? Or something handmade?
  • Oooh!! I want something that I can put on an easel in the center of the dessert table . . . wood would probably be best. I just want something simple and cute . . . got any suggestions?
  • Hmm what about a cute framed design? The sign could be printed, collaged, or painted and then you could reuse the frame if you wanted (like put a bday pic in it!) And the frame could be painted too

  • Thanks everyone!

    Karrey, its funny you posted that . . . I found one almost exactly like that to get her!  She already has the awesome bow and a ladybug bathing suit for her party, too.

    Here are the things I have found that I love . . .

    imageimage" mce_src="image"> My mom and I are making a fabric banner with her name on it to tie in front of the gift table, and another happy birthday banner to hang up in the doorway.  We are thinking of doing aluminum buckets with grass in them for the centerpieces, and sticking a picture of Bebe on a stick in the center of the bucket.  I want to do a tiny candy bar, and use the sign I mentioned above.  I'm going to have a local bakery do a single tier cake, and then I'll make cupcakes and cookies to match.  (I have spent years and years making kick azz cakes and such for others, I'm going to go all out for Bebe!)

    What do you think?

  • I think it all sounds great!  I can't wait to see it all come together.  I did a ladybug themed party for a girl I used to nanny and it was precious.  So exciting!
  • SO CUTE!!!!!!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • So cute and creative! I love ladybugs and I bet everything is going to look great....especially Bebe!

    Now I'm feeling bad because I just told my mom that whenever we have a kid, we are NOT doing "big" b-day parties until they are 3 (maybe even 4).

    I'm a bad (future) mother.

    Patti, I TOTALLY agree!  I'm doing all of this on a serious budget . . . I'm giving myself less than $50 to use for decorations.  My parents are getting the cake, and then I'm making cupcakes and cookies.  The candy bar we already have everything but the candy for.  Supplies for the other crafts will be under $30 if I'm smart.  The only splurge is the tutu and its seriously a steal at $40!!!!  R is building her a "front porch" playhouse in her bedroom as her gift from us.  Her b-day menu is seriously easy--hamburgers and hot dogs.  We are having it at R's aunt & uncles house.

    I have champagne taste on a soda-pop budget FOR SURE!  :)

  • Even better!! At least you are being smart about it....way to go!! I can't wait to see pics.

    Bebe's lucky to have such a cool mom Cool
