Gnome Doubt About It...

...this is one of the cutest themes I've seen for a Birthday Party. My very good friend over at Yellow Whistle {here} threw a Gnome/Woodland Birthday Party for her daughter who was turning six and I had the creative privilege of designing the invitations, thank you notes, misc. decorative elements and bookmarks.

One of the games they played was a Gnome Hunt. They couldn't have cupcakes until they found it, so they were highly motivated. All the kids worked together to find clues that would lead them to the hiding Gnome.

Christina used the same elements for this garland that were used for the cupcake toppers and candy table labels. She stuck them to yarn with double sided tape. Totally cute!

She also found these little round wood pieces on Etsy and made necklaces for all the kids. Again, totally cute!

 

Christina came up with the idea to make bookmarks as one of the goodies for the kids. She found big twig pencils on Etsy and packaged them with the bookmarks and little adventure journals from REI. {She got the adventure journal as a freebie for her kids one day when they were shopping. She went back to see if she could buy twenty more and they just gave them to her. Niiiice.}

The Thank You notes were fill-in the blank so the Birthday Girl could personalize them to each guest and the gift they brought her.
