the blanket is actually a big strawberry shortcake curtain i found on ebay! i had another curtain too {shown later}…
we took strawberry flavored marshmallows and dipped them in chocolate melts to make these cute strawberry pops. we added strawberry malt balls to the tops. really cute and easy!
and here’s the strawberry shortcake cake i made. i had to make it a few days early so it kind of melted and sunk into itself. oh well, it still looked pretty cute…

here’s the strawberry shortcake party blowers and strawberry shortcake glasses i put out for the kiddios…
i got these flower pots on orientaltrading.com. they came in white, with an insert that you color {that said, i love you mom, for mothers day}. i took out the inserts and used one as a pattern to make my own strawberry shortcake insert for the kids to color! i took a coloring book and shrunk down a few images to cut and clip :). i then spray painted the inside part of the pot red. they turned out really cute.

this entire party was the sweetest! i may have to 'borrow' some of your brilliant ideas! :)
thanks for the inspiration!
So, so cute! Love the strawberry plants and strawberry lemonade. Great details!
Adorable. I love all of the ideas. I'm a big sucker for anything pink!
Another adorable party!! Thanks for getting back to me about the Horton stuff :)
This is a beautiful party! What a clever idea!
Amazing… as usual!! I want this party for myself:-) I love the strawberry plants and how you had them decorate the pots. Berry Cute!
WOW, this is fantastic! I loved SS when I was younger…kinda still do. =) I'll be linking.
This party was adorable. I must say that changing the insert in the OT planters to SC was perfect and brilliant! Can I ask how many tables you do on a usual basis? I have noticed that you do dessert, favor and drink pretty regularly. My guess is food too, but how many activity stations do you do? I am struggling with this for my daughter's upcoming birthday. Thanks for your brilliant ideas. I too love the Martha Pom Poms and used them twice this last weekend!
I LOVE strawberry Crush in the glass bottles! I have one sitting on my desk in front of me right now.
I just love this party, I did a strawberry shortcake party a while back but, it was nothing compared to this lovely party, thanks for sharing!
