Senor Crosby's Fiesta!

CONFESSION: Let's just preface this blog post with the fact that I basically FORGOT to take any pictures of the decorations at the party or before so many of the pictures were the next morning...so you won't even get the full effect but ehhhh, you'll get the idea.  Also sorry for the extra grainy iphone shots! A few posts ago, I showed you the invites & said that it was a fiesta theme so I went heavy on the pinata type fringe.  I made the cupcake toppers, the sopapilla toppers (seen below, I got no action shots of them...), and the fringe banners.  I hung several other banners and had some serapes placed about that ordered from a party supply company and my mom had some pinatas made for the party. 

Pre-party DIY-ing 

This guy was actually next to the front door, but the wind
was blowing like crazy so he had to move indoors.

Crazy hurr, don't currr. I promise his hair was somewhat "done"  before
he started running around like a crazy person. 

Sweet Cousins!

Post cupcake. 

Senor Crosby is Dos

Well Crosby officially turned T W O last Friday, October 17th and we had his party the weekend before that {more on that to come} so I wanted share with you the invitations that I made.  I had seen a wedding invitation similar on some blog probably about a year ago and the image just stuck with me....now of course when I was making the invites I couldn't find a link or picture anywhere to show you my original inspiration, but I took the idea and ran with it.  The hubs and I decided we wanted it to be a traditional +  modern Mexican fiesta. So the idea of the inspiration invite + pinatas brought me to this invitation that I think worked perfectly.  

They took forever to put together {and I probably have carpal tunnel from cutting all the tissue paper out} but I love how they turned out and I think they added a little fiesta to everyone's mail that day!
