cheerleading party details
The party table was set with pom poms, a personalized megaphone and a mini galvanized bucket for each of the girls. As mentioned in my previous post, the Ikea striped fabric is really great (I want it in the bold stripe too). It made a perfect tablecloth and I plan on using it all summer!
We started the party by making bead necklaces and decorating pennants. The girls loved both of these simple crafts (6-year old girls are pretty easy to please!). I hung the pennants with mini clothes pins on a ribbon and displayed them there after they were decorated.
Water bottle labels are a staple at Blonde Designs parties!
Rees wanted pink cupcakes with pink buttercream frosting - easy enough! I made the cupcake topper a bit bigger than usual to accommodate the cute cheerleader illustration.
I was lucky enough to find a green megaphone piñata (requested by Rees) at our local party store. I just modified by taking off the "Go Team" stickers that were on it and added Rees' name. The girls used their galvanized bucket to gather the candy.
I hired two middle-school cheerleaders to come over and teach the girls cheers. It was definitely the highlight of the party and the girls looked the part wearing their dollar store cheer costumes! I recorded some of their cheers with a flip video camera and the girls watched them on our t.v. before they went home. They loved seeing themselves doing the cheers and were actually pretty good. Rees loved her party and I love my 6-year old!
