Yay! Almost your sweet student’s birthday! What to get them? I have a few ideas!

Turning 21 is super exciting, but we don’t always want to send our kiddos alcohol. It might mark the beginning of the legal drinking age, but that doesn’t mean they will enjoy it…or that we want to condone drinking.

I have a fun Arkansas lottery scratch-off ticket arrangement, large 34” numbered foil balloons, and 21 of ANYthing (reasons you love them, Hershey bars, $5 bills, Office memes, bracelets, La Croix cans, Paper mate flair pens, pairs of socks, balloons, flowers, 21 of literally ANY thing they love!). And if that doesn’t work for you, some custom sugar cookies, a Nothing Bundt cake, Great American Cookie Cake, grazing box, or a painted champagne bottle with a big bow might work!

Is your May as busy as mine? We have birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, end-of-year concerts, baby showers, and teacher appreciation to name a few! If I can streamline a few events (or decorate for multiple events), it helps with me with party planning prep time.

If I have more than one event within a few days, I look for ways to plan for both. I find a color scheme that matches both, and sometimes even multiply or replicate the menu (only the guests invited to both events would know…haha)!

New Year’s Eve has to be the coolest birthday. Everyone is dying to party with you! My mom’s birthday is December 31st, and I know one other sweet mom with a NYE birthday too! This year is a big milestone birthday for my mom, so we plan to party till midnight (or until we all fall asleep, haha!)
