My Little Pumpkin's Birthday Party


 
The party printables from Kylie Mae Events were the inspiration for this adorable Little Pumpkin party.  This was designed for a first birthday party but would also make a sweet and festive baby shower or gender reveal party. 

The table displayed fall inspired treats including caramel apples, pumpkin cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting, and soft ginger cookies. Homemade cinnamon applesauce was served in individual mini-mason jars adorned with squares of burlap and coordinating ribbon. Brown paper sacks decorated with card stock held slices of pumpkin bread. To add some pizazz to my favorite autumn treat, I attached a strip of card stock to the caramel apple sticks.  Each menu item was represented with food tents and tags to match the colors and theme. 

Other items were added to enhance the colors/theme such as hand painted pumpkins, bundles of wheat, and a burlap pennant.  My favorite additions to the table were the three cupcake stands that I made from household items and painted to match.  The table was anchored with two miniature hay bales, which hosted favors (tiny pumpkins), a mounted invitation for the event, and a mason jar filled with salt water taffy.
