Never Ending Summer Flamingo Party

In Florida it is always summer so it is no surprise that we are Flamingo obsessed in our house.  My co-planner, Bailey my soon to be 4 year old daughter and I have been planning her 4th birthday party for 3 months.  This is what happens when your mom is a party planner.

When we started planning it I thought we would invite just her closest friends so I went to one of my favorite vendors, Oriental Trading Company.  I ordered the supplies and we were off and planning.  As many parties do Bailey's party quickly expanded beyond my original vision.  So last weekend we hosted a never ending summer Flamingo party at the park.  We will host the new and expanded version of her birthday this weekend.  So check back for our next Flamingo party!!!

Setting: 

We are lucky to have the best parks in South Florida.  This view is a private pavilion overlooking the inter-coastal where we hosted the party.

Decor:

I fell in love with this flamingo pattern the moment I saw it on Oriental Trading Company.  I loved that they had all the coordinating items from napkins to favor bags.  I used the favor bags as an accent on top of the two plates.  I am all about the square plates, I love the modern touch it adds to a playful place setting.

I included wooden spoons that I found at target.  I used two pink napkins for the extra pop of color and because you can never have too many napkins with little kids.

 Centerpieces:

If you follow me on Instagram you know that these are my favorite part of all the decor.  They looked adorable right out of the box, but I felt like they were missing something.  We printed out a yellow flower to match the other decor and made them both pearl necklaces from Michaels, I love their selection of beads.  You are never fully dressed without pearls and a bow!  We had so much color with the other decor I kept the flowers simple with white roses from The Fresh Market to ensure the mini flamingos here the highlight.  A recent dinner guest brought flowers for me and Bailey in these adorable colored mason jars.  They are a great addition for our collection of mason jars and were perfect for the party.

Box Lunches:

These lunch boxes are so adorable and were ideal for the prepacked lunch we served.  No need to worry about the bugs with open food displays.

Flamingo Straws:

The Flamingo straws were the biggest hit!!!
