I also utilized the coat rack for some extra decoration space. I bought the large square chalkboard at Michaels on the clearance years ago and I use it ALL.THE.TIME. I found the small pink piñata at 5Below and it inspired me to create the jumbo watermelon slices. The large watermelon slices were so easy and inexpensive to make. The back is made from cardboard; the front is strips of crepe paper which I cut to fringe and simply glued in place. The large seeds are cut from black card stock. The project was a little bit tedious but so worth it in my opinion. For the food, I went with a classic birthday favorite and a few simple snacks. Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes for our guests, and a smash cake for my sweet Hattie. The cupcakes were frosted with pink buttercream, topped with mini chocolate chips, and placed in a green cupcake liner to keep with the theme of the party. I baked the cupcakes in a white liner and just placed them in the green liner before serving so the green color would remain bright. Ranch dip and chips as well as cheesy sausage dip and crackers were also on the menu. Watermelon was on the menu too because you can't have a watermelon party without it. Our guests could also choose from tropical punch or mini bottles of water to drink. I'm so glad I picked up this metal drink tub on the Target clearance at the beginning of summer; it went so well with our theme. To pull everything together, I hung the pink watermelon slice behind the table and surrounded it with a balloon garland. This may be my favorite thing ever! Balloon garlands are super easy to make, inexpensive, and they make a huge impact! I hope you enjoyed our "One in a Melon" birthday bash as much as we did. Let me know in the comments what your favorite part was!
