Do you have a plan for celebrating Father's Day? Want to celebrate with a bit of fun and puns? Of course you do! Well, get out your fishing gear and your Go Fish card game... It's a fishing themed party for Dad! He'll love it! ("Hey, Dad...I think you have your hat on backwards!") Father's Day Fishing Party Lots of fun details to check out at this party. (This post contains affiliate links to help you find products.) I put my kids in charge of making the balloons. Aren't these 'balloon' fish fun? Regular blue & light blue balloons with an animal twisty balloon tied around it. Use a Sharpie to color in the eye. Every party must have cute food, clever ideas and of course, puns! (There just happen to be a ton of fish puns out there.) The kids made fish 'cods' for all the dads. The menu consisted of fish sticks, salmon burgers, (seaweed) aka salad and fruit placed strategically on top of a glass fish platter. (1 sliced marshmallow and 1 blueberry made the eye.) and jellyfish?! Oh yeah! (Blue jello with Swedish Fish swimming inside and outside!) At each place setting was a bucket of bait. Which was really gummy worms in white mini tin pails. Blue cellophane, bobbers and plastic fish lined the table. The name rocks came from this post. Click here. Lots of fish treats included... M&M's and Goldfish crackers. (Vintage Fish pitcher found at an antique shop...it gurgles when you pour it!) Have you seen those Gurgle Pots - they're adorable! I think I want one in every color! Go Fish cupcakes. (Pretzel stick rods, licorice fishing line and a goldfish graham cracker.) Bobbers (Cake pops dipped in white candy melts and red sugar sprinkles.) Fishing pole treats! 1 Pirouette rolled wafer cookie tied with shoestring licorice and a gummy worm. (These disappeared so fast!) (Appetizer fish plates were found at Target years ago.) However, I love these Mandydov fish shaped plates found on Amazon. Do you remember the lesson I learned from this post--click here, I must always have a photo shoot at my parties! How fun are these pics? Fishing poles, fishing hat, life jacket and a blue shower curtain made this photo shoot a success! (Not to mention all the dads and the adorable kids!)

Hello! Today I'm popping in to share with you this whale themed birthday party for my mother-in-law. To be honest with you, I wasn't sure if a whale theme would 'sink or swim' with our family, but everyone loved it, especially the grand kids! (Note: This post contains affiliate links to help you locate products.) The table was lined with blue striped wrapping paper, blue tulle and blue vases filled with white flowers. For some reason, I'm really into tulle lately. (...you know that netting stuff that tutus are made of? It's perfect for parties and bow making.) Better add that craft item to my favorite things list: ribbon, washi tape, chalkboard, tulle... Name rocks are from this post. And of course, I used every whale pun I could come up with! Yes, this post is 'drowning' with whale puns...some are better than others. This cute little chalkboard easel is from Michaels. A friend gifted me these precious Whale Wooden Ornaments- click here. They looked adorable hanging from the glass vases placed down the center of the table. I actually found the turquoise glass vases at a garage sale, but these vintage vases online are extra fabulous! This was a family dinner, so of course the menu had to coordinate with the theme. (You know me so well.) -Fish-n-Chips including sweet potatoes 'chips'. -Cedar planked salmon Have you ever grilled salmon on cedar planks? If not, YOU are missing out! Oh wow! The salad was appropriately named Seaweed. Naturally, most of the grandkids stayed far away from it. But, the veggie tray got some attention. Look! You can spot, (not a sea cucumber), but an orca whale surfacing right in the middle of the vegetables! Oh yah! The vegetables were appropriately named as well. And the showstopper? The fabulous watermelon fruit whale! My sister-in-law (who has never attended one of my parties, because she lives so far away) was in town from Virginia, and offered to help me prepare food. Oh, was she in for a surprise when I gave her this job. Needless to say, nothing phases her and she totally rocked this watermelon whale 'right out of the sea'! We served fruit out of it for a week, because it was so cute. ...and don't forget about refreshments. Sea Water...I mean fresh water, was the drink of choice. You been waiting to see the dessert table, right? Here you go! I hung my handmade paper Happy Birthday banner with a wood planked whale to set the stage. I found the whale at Home Goods, but I love this online Wooden Whale Wall Hanging, too! Of course I had to paint the whale to match the party colors...everyone does this, right? Treats included: Whale blubber- blue jello with gummies Blowholes- dried apples Bottlenoses- blue drinks in a bottle Chocolate Plankton- M&M's Whale food- Goldfish crackers (Finding Dory version) Whale bubbles- large white gumballs Sweet Whales- sugar cookie cut outs and a whale cake! My sister-in-law and I crafted up this sweet and tasty thing. It's a triple layer white cake with blackberry filling and buttercream frosting. The whale on top is make out of fondant and lots of blue dye. (...be sure to wear plastic gloves if you attempt this.) I almost don't want to show you this picture... (The forks were labeled, harpoons...in a clever way, not a mean way.) Save the whales! Those cute little glass jars with metal whale tags were found at Michaels. We used the whale and banner wall as a photo shoot backdrop...(just carefully pull the table out.) And there you have it. Happy Birthday, Nana! Click here to print your own whale signs.
