Hot Pink, Lime Green, and Aqua Birthday Party -- With Owls

Hot Pink, Lime Green, and Aqua Birthday Party -- With Owls!

How cute are these fun short bread sugar cookies?

Cake balls!!  These were vanilla

I HATED the way these "lime" green cakeballs turned out.  They looked like Grinch cakeballs rather than lime colored cakeballs.  Such a disappointment. Fortunately, they *TASTED* great, and they were gobbled up so quickly I'm not sure anyone even noticed they were ugly!

Marshmallows on a stick, dipped in hot pink melted chocolate and dipped in blue nonpareils.

The banner!

The centerpiece, once again 

Pretty, pretty cake balls

My various apothecary jars filled with treats.  I had a hard time finding green and blue, so I ended up buying Crunch Berry cereal and pulling out the hot pink ones.  Then I bought fruit loops and pulled out the green and blue ones.  The hot pink fruit loops I added to the hot pink Crunch Berries.  These were cute to look at, but no one ate them.

Then I had cookies and cream Hershey's kisses, Dove chocolates, jelly beans, and some sour patch something or other.

On this side of the table I had more sour patch somethings, Hershey Kisses (Valentine's Day colors), and three Sundae cups filled with various m&m flavors.  I served pink lemonade (not pictured) in the pitcher.

The goodie bags turned out so cute!  Each girl went home with a movie ticket (we took the girls to the movies), a large candy version of their favorite candy, a curly straw (because they still love curly straws), and I made each girl a personalized bookmark with the leftover banner poster paper and a coordinating owl.  The girls LOVED their gift bags!!

One last look at this darling hot pink, lime green, and aqua birthday party!  Such a great hit!
