Barnyard 2nd Birthday Farm Party

This adorable BARNYARD 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Jenny Marrs of Marrs Memories. Set up in a real-life barn, this farm celebration can not be beat! I love all the little details and the perfect farm feel to every photo.

Party description and details from Jenny- “We celebrated our twin boy’s second birthday with a barnyard party at our family farm. We transformed our barn into a petting zoo and party spot for the day! To start, the Invitation was designed by Social Crafty designs. I designed the party space to ensure it was a casual and relaxed atmosphere. From the picnic tables to the hay on the floor…we wanted it to feel like a day out on the farm for our guests. My husband set up his tractors in the barn so that the kids could climb on them and they could serve as a backdrop for the party. We served barbecue and used plastic baskets with checkered liners for dishes. We wanted every detail to reflect the farm theme. The Dessert Table was set up so that everyone could make their own dirt cakes. We used organic gummy worms from NaturalCandyStore.com because my son has a red-dye allergy and they were a hit! I went outside and cut fresh flowers {and weeds but they were pretty weeds} to place all around… I love fresh cut flowers and just LOVE how the arrangements turned out! Centerpieces for the kids tables included burlap sacks topped with tractors and barnyard animals. Adult picnic tables were topped with checkered table cloths, mason jars with candles, and baskets of peanuts. Little party guests received favor buckets including miniature tractors, seed planting kits and chalkboard “Thank you” signs. We had a petting zoo, pony rides, a handmade sandbox for digging and a hayride for activities.”

John Deere Tractor Birthday Party

Today’s winning party feature goes to this fun JOHN DEERE TRACTOR BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Chickabug! Abbie {Carter & Copeland’s mama} did all the party styling…and did a superb job! Everything is so cute.

Centerpieces- Abbie started with metal John Deere buckets filled with florist’s foam, then added bunches of faux sunflowers from Hobby Lobby, green and yellow bandannas, and balloons. She used small pieces of dowels to poke the hankies down in the foam.

Food-

Lunch included Chick-fil-A nuggets, fruit salad, chips, pretzels, and of course candy! Abbie served Sour Patch Kids, sixlets, gumballs, sour straws, Reese’s cups, Mike & Ike’s, and Jolly Ranchers, all in yellow and green. She also had custom M&M’s made with the boys’ photos and names on them.

Party favors-

Favor bags included John Deere plastic cups, John Deere popcorn bags, and small plastic farm animals. The bags were wrapped up with green and yellow raffia from Michael’s and a printable favor tag.
