Pink and Green Birthday Party

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

Last weekend was my daughter’s 7th birthday party. She decided on all the party details and picked the pink and green birthday party and since it is really, really hot here in August my daughter requested a swimming party. I think it turned out really cute. My daughter even asked her Nana (my mom) to make her a swimsuit cover-up to match.

Pink & Green Birthday Party
We had simple sandwiches, chips, potato salad, and watermelon. The kids all got beach towels as party favors and little boxes that had pink and green candies. I let my birthday girl help pick out the centerpiece feathers and also the candies. What fun is a party if the birthday child can’t help in the planning?!?!

Pink & Green Birthday Party
I made the cake, but we had a mishap with the “7” and so it was a little unstable on the cake and started to lean, but we made it work. I think the party was a hit and the kids LOVED getting a towel as a party favor. It really didn’t cost any more than putting together a goody bag filled with junky toys.

    Awesome! Is it easy working with fondant? I can’t wait to go to the Sugar Art Show at the Tulsa State Fair and see Kerry Vincent again. I’m hoping to catch some classes but I will have to be there early!

    Cute! Great job on the cake. The whole table looks really cool–love the feathers!
    When I was that age, my bedroom was done in pink and green!
