Apple Of Our Eye Party and Photo Invitations

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to have just listed my first photo card to my Etsy Store. My goal is to be adding a photo invitation option to each of our party designs over the next few months. I thought I would start with our Apple of Our Eye Party. This party won The Today Show’s Best Party Theme in America Contest. I had a blast appearing on the show and it was a huge boost to my confidence as a designer. Photo Invitation , click to view listing

Do you remember the party? I created this Apple of Our Eye party for my daughter, Charlotte’s, sixth birthday.I did not want the party to feel like a harvest so I incorporated crisp, modern printables and a preppy bright pink and apple green color scheme.

When the little guests arrived for lunch, they untied their apple baskets from the backs of their chairs and dined on applewiches, harvest chips, mac ‘n cheese, apple sauce and of course a crisp green apple. They sipped on apple juice and lemonade served in glass jars. Each girl had an apple of our eye gumball tube at her place setting. To make the placemats, I simply made a document on word and then had it enlarged on thick glossy cardstock at my local printers.

After lunch the girls did apple of my eye make up, made paper mache apples using left over fabric from the bunting and made apple necklaces. They also made their own mini apple pies in mason jars that we called, Charlie Pies- my daughter’s nickname.

The girls treated themselves at the farm stand, which was filled with apple cake pops, apple cupcakes, applejacks, and candy apples. There was also ice cream scooped in candy cup and shaped to look like apples complete with wooden stem or spoon. They also loved the M&M apples done in baking cups as well.

I have also update the invitation a bit and have added thank you cards and a ONE banner for a high chair. Don’t you think this is the perfect theme for a one year old party?!
