the party:

Who: Jameson turned 2 on October 1st, 2018! Much to my surprise and delight, this year he started wanting to watch Halloween music videos and became super obsessed with pumpkins.

What: As we neared his second birthday and he continued to be infatuated with anything Halloween related, I decided to do a “Spooky Second” birthday theme that encompassed everything fun and cute about Halloween. I did not want to go the scary route; instead I focused on things like funny ghosts, silly haunted houses, bats, and pumpkins.

Where: I like to host parties in my own home because I enjoy the challenge of transforming my space. For this party we spread many things out, had food inside, and had seating and activities outside.

When: The party took place on a beautiful early October Sunday between 12pm-3pm.

the little details:

Steph’s favorite little details from this party include…

• The fun haunted house backdrop from Amazon that helped created a themed seating area.

• Decorating the backyard shed with big spiders and cobweb for an unexpected decor element.

•  Bottle label stickers from Party City for all of the sodas.
