Kitty Cat Birthday Party

This party is so sweet- I love that Jennifer picked the good old-fashioned kitty cat for the theme of her daughter’s birthday party. Who needs pop culture cartoons characters for a good party, right? And don’t the children look darling in their kitty ears?

A bit of info from Jennifer about the party:
“We just celebrated my daughter, Emily’s, 2nd birthday. She LOVES cats so I decided to make that the theme. When searching for ideas online all I kept coming across was Hello Kitty. Although Hello Kitty is cute, I wanted to just have an old fashioned kitty party. Once I decided on the theme, I would keep my eyes open for any kitty finds. I found two ceramic cat planters at a local antique mart as well as the chalkboard kitty that was originally blue. I made the bunting banner with help from a tutorial that I found online. It was a “no sew” banner since I don’t sew! I also made kitty cat ears for all of my daughters friends to wear. With the left over fabric from the banner, I had a neighbor sew fabric mice with ribbon tails and the kids went on a mouse hunt. We also played pin the tail on the cat. I found an image online, and took it to a local print shop to have it enlarged. For party favors we handed out a copy of the, Shy Little Kitten (a golden book) to everyone. So much easier then filling goodie bags with the same old stuff! For dessert I made cupcakes and kitty cat sugar cookies. We served them with milk, of course! Everyone had a great time at the party including my daughter. After singing Happy Birthday, she wanted everyone to do it again. She even blew out her candle all by herself!”
