Olaf's Summer Luau Birthday Party
August 20, 2015Olaf is a favorite character, with my two youngest boys. What's not to love about the 'warm hugs-lovin' guy?! Both of my boys have Summer birthdays, and it just made sense to have an Olaf Summer Luau, to celebrate their 2nd & 5th Birthdays!
I have many pictures + details to share, so I've put everything into 2 posts.
One of my favorite things to do at any event I put together, is to create a party table for the younger party guests to sit at. It's so fun to watch all the kids snack, and talk about anything under the sun!
I found some Olaf themed fabric from JoAnn fabrics, and used it as a table cover. Instead of renting a kid-sized table, I bought 3 square tables from Ikea, and put them together. They were the perfect height, for all the little guests.
Arlene from She Wears the Crown created darling Luau & Olaf themed cookies. I love how she made a number 2, and a number 5, for my birthday boys!
I created a faux cake, adorned with orange festooning, from Celebration Lane, wrapping paper, and a tiki cake topper.
The party cupcakes looked super delicious with Olaf & Luau themed cupcake toppers from Michelle's Party Plan-it, and fun cupcake wrappers from Hoopla Events!
She Wears the Crown did such a great job on this fondant Olaf. He definitely set the tone for our Summer Luau!
I've worked with Nicole from Bella's Bakery, for a few years now. Her work always amazes me! Here she made the cutest Olaf & Luau themed cake pops for our party. Pineapples, Olaf, a tiki man, and pretty hibiscus flowers were displayed inside a pail, and set out on the kid's party table.
I decorated mini white gable boxes, and white take-out boxes, with luau themed printables, festooning, and raffia.
Bella's Bakery also created the most darling Olaf & Luau themed caramel + chocolate dipped apples! They coordinated perfectly with the cake pops, and were gobbled up super fast!
I knew that July would be hot, so we planned for an outdoor party, that would include lots of water fun! The kids had a blast getting wet.
I used a few of the cookies from She Wears The Crown, as cupcake toppers. The shade-wearing sunshine cookie was just too cute!
An Olaf Summer Luau isn't complete without an Olaf sno-cone machine! I found this guy a few months back, at Walmart, and knew he had to come home with me. I foudn the perfect color and painted our drink cart with Rustoleum 2x gloss in seaside. So perfect!
Michelle's Party Plan-It made the perfect signage to display his frozen treats cart. We set out paper cups, and wooden spoons, and the guests were able to help themselves.
