So when my older niece was about to turn 16 I lent a very helping hand in planning the party with my SIL. My SIL was gracious enough to allow me to be so much a part of this party. After spending hours scouring sites with my nieces I was able to see what she would like and want.
I was inspired in so many directions and if I had an indispensable amount of money I could have made a display fit for royalty. However, both our pockets were limited so here is what I came up with:
As you can see, the theme was SWEET. I used a site called andersruff.com to print out some free printables. That is where the labels came from that are on the vases. I then bought 2 packs of Pink sparkly alphas and made the words on the labels. I also bought self adhesive bling to add to the labels. I bought the different sizes of vases from the dollar store. I made the chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate covered pretzels myself.
I also made the hand made chocolates in the YUMMY vase, around the marshmallows along with the hand dipped marshmallows and I made the chocolate hearts on the sticks. Then I bought the pink with black polka dots 12x12 paper and altered 2 Whitman's Samplers chocolates bottoms of the boxes with it. I also bought blinged out numbers which you can't see in these pictures of "16" which are on both boxes. I took the 12x12 paper and fashioned cones out of them simply using a piece of tape to hold them together leaving a small opening at the bottom. Inside the chocolate boxes I used foam, like they do for planters, and place paper on top of it. I then placed skewers on the back box in various places as well as different sized skewers. I then place then cones onto the skewers and filled them with freshly popped popcorn and filled the bottom of both boxes with M&Ms.
Then I used a site called mycandywrappers.com to create these personalized candy bar wrappers for each guest to take home.
It was a fun way to do something extra special on a budget and it was easy as well!! Everyone enjoyed the sweets table!!
