This past Saturday, we were blessed with a beautiful, sunny and warm day as family and friends came to celebrate (our baby) Lincoln's 6th birthday!
The kids (and some parents) enjoyed a game of baseball, ate lunch and cake together, dove for piñata candy and just enjoyed being outdoors...
I wanted a vintage baseball feel for the party and used mostly red, white and blue.
This free pallet - as found (red!) - made an easy backdrop. The tin number six and baseball card sign were purchased at Hobby Lobby. I made the little pennant banner out of ticking material and twine.
In keeping with the baseball theme, we served hot dogs, potato chips, watermelon and veggies. We don't typically drink a lot of soda. So, as you can see, Lincoln and his buddy weren't wasting any time downing their orange-flavored Fantas! ;)
The vintage-inspired "Ice Cream Soda" sign I had bought last year from Pottery Barn...
Balloons and a Babe Ruth cardboard cutout (that I found at an antique shop) were in front of our driveway so that guests could find the party more easily...
The kids table...
In case you missed it, I wrote about the pallet flag, chalkboard score board and our DIY baseball field here.
Our birthday boy's nickname is "Cubby" - -
the reason he is wearing a Chicago Cubs uniform! :)

Play ball!
For favors, the kiddos took home a base set (Dollar Tree), bat and ball (Dollar Tree), Cracker Jacks (Dollar Tree) and Big League Chew (Amazon).
It was a happy day, celebrating our little boy who brings our family so much joy...
Thank you for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Cindy... I have fallen off of the scrapbook wagon! I occasionally do the My Publisher books and the boys love looking through them!
DeleteOh well ! I guess I spelled scrapbook wrong! Ha!
ReplyDeleteNo problem - I hate how you can't edit comments!!
DeleteOMG! That is such a nice "old fashioned" boys birthday party. I love all the details that you thought of. The parting gifts couldn't be more perfect too. I loved the cake! I'm sure your son had a great day with all of your special planning that went into it.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet Kelly, thank you. It was a lot of fun and Lincoln loved it! Clean up... was not quite as fun, since we hauled out a bunch of furniture to the pasture... but well worth it!
DeleteI absolutely love every aspect of this party! Everything was PERFECT. The vintage feel is right up my alley too. I bet the kids loved their take home gifts. Isn't it amazing what we can find at the Dollar store?! Great job. Thanks for sharing! I have pinned this, and I will also be sharing on my Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that so much ~ thank you!
DeleteI love your baseball themed party Julie. Makes me wish my little man had a 6th birthday coming up. Your attention to detail is amazing. Love the Babe Ruth sign in your driveway to flag party goers. And what little boy wouldn't love a baseball game and those wonderful party favors? Again thank you so much for sharing at SYS!
