COLOR ME FUN! KIDS RAINBOW PARTY

Ask and you shall receive! I have had a few personal requests  from people wanting ideas if you have a large group of young kids and a very small budget. I can't think of a better way to keep kids busy and happy, and both your mind and your wallet sane as well than to host a Rainbow Color Party!!!!

Here are some cute and budget friendly ways to get the kids involved and keep them entertained without using a ton of things you might not already have at your house to begin with.

AN ELEPHANT NEVER FORGETS (About an AWESOMELY cute baby shower that is!)

This week we are FINALLY gonna get to see a simple but C-U-T-E baby girl shower idea! Sorry for the delay, but here it is!

This mommy to be is expecting a baby girl, and what cuter way to decorate the room of a little girl than with elephants!!! The hostesses of this shower decided to plan the theme of the baby shower around the baby's room decor! How cute!

 Here is a cute idea where the hostesses created a 'craftified' photo frame guest book using the invite to the shower and a sonogram photo and other craft items. The elephants in the back were created easily and within budget by using simple molding clay. Not only a cute decor item but something the mommy can take home to decorate baby's room with! Too cute!

 I think everyone knew that the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM was the fact that EVERYONE wanted to know what the inside of that cake tasted like!! Here those same little handmade elephants are used to be a topper on the cake!

Tableware can be found in  many places.... Personally I LOVE THE DOLLAR TREE! There are sooo many choices and they are ALL $1. But sometimes the best place to look is Walmart. I cannot tell you how many times I have walked into Walmart and right in the entry way is a cart of a certain design of tableware or party decor and nessessities on sale for 50 cents a peice. I stock up on the spot! Cuz you never know when you may need it... ALSO HERE'S MY LITTLE SECRET FOR YOU GUYS THIS WEEK: I keep everything after a shower I throw, and when I say everything I mean pretty much everything. If there are tableware that is unused it's mine. Gift bags from the mama to be that have been opened and she doesnt want to keep or use, tissue paper, serving trays confettie table decor (if your not using them as favors) . Tablecloths? Wipe 'em off and fold them up.  Because stuff like this will come in handy with one of my next posts!!!

Until next time I hope your keeping all your event planning EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY!

Special Announcement- United Way Campaign Up and Running

Baby Girl Shower Ideas postponed for next week... :(

Sorry to disappoint but my friend who had the baby shower pics and info had a slight delay in getting me her pictures and feedback on how her shower went. And since I only want to deliver the BEST to you (3) loyal followers I'm not going to just copy and paste some random shower pics for you. So instead I'm going to share some info on an upcoming event here in Topeka that I am involved in.

During the month of October, the bank I work at, Silver Lake Bank is hosting it's United Way Campaign. I just happen to be the campaign coordinator along with my co worker Rebecca Cornell. In an attempt to raise funds for the United Way we have some cool loot to raffle off. This year we have a Grill, two chairs, 6 jars of make your own BBQ sauce, and a $10 gift certificate to Boss Hawgs BBQ up for Raffle! The grill and chairs were provided by The Home Depot, make your own sauce kits donated by Buffalo Wild Wings, and I think you can guess where the gift certificate came from. ;) The grill folds up nicely and travels well for all you tailgators out there!  Raffle Tickets will be $2 a piece or 6 for $5. You can purchase tickets at any Silver Lake Bank location beginning October 8th or through me on my blog or via my work email mmking@silverlakebank.com.

The next little tidbit of info is to watch the WIBW evening news on November 1st! I will be hosting our SLB Bank Olympics starting at 5pm. You'll see bank employees participating in tricycle races, balloon darts, blindfolded excercises and obstacle courses. Last year if you were lucky enough to catch it they ended up duck taping me to a wall to raise more money for the United Way.

If you don't know who the United Way is or what they stand for check out their website United Way Greater Topeka or their video below. There are ample opportunities to volunteer or donate to the United Way. 

Let me know if you want more info on our upcoming campaign or to purchase Raffle Tickets!

 

Until next time I hope you will remember that helping your community can be EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY just like planning events can be!
