My...Uh, Lucy's Toy Story Birthday Party

Lucy has really been into Toy Story since she first watched it in January at Aunt Stephanie's house. Because of her absolute LOVE for Woody, Buzz, and Jessie, we decided to have a Toy Story-themed second birthday party for her. I had a really fun time putting everything together for it, and did it pretty inexpensively, too.

Of course, my first thought was to search Pinterest for Toy Story birthday party ideas and I actually found a lot of good ideas. Some seemed a little over the top for me, but good ideas nonetheless. Here's a breakdown of everything I did for my...Lucy's party. :)

The Invitation
I found this on Etsy and am absolutely in love with it! In fact, I still have it on my refrigerator door because I love looking at it! It was only $6 to have designed and then I printed it out on my home computer, very minimal cost. I love the expression on Lucy's face in this picture!

Etchasketch Board
I am so proud of this Etchasketch board! I made it out of the box our double stroller came in and used gray and red duct tape to make it, along with Toy Story clipart/fonts I bought for $3, and a free downloadable picture of the Toy Story gang I found online. This was a fun project to work on and again, I'm so proud of it! I added Lucy's picture to the Toy Story gang and think she fits so perfectly with them! The board was setting inside the front door so everyone could see it when they arrived.

The Cake
I love this cake!! My very talented friend, Bekah, from my MOPS group made the cake for me and she made it for free!!As you can see, she played off of the Etchasketch look from the party invitation and I love how it turned out. It was a very tasty cake, too!

The Cookies
Lucy's Gramma Wiseman made the cookies for us and I loved them! She made some very pretty cookies for her birthday party last year and I asked her to do the same this year. I sent her a few pictures of Toy Story cookies that I found online and she did a stellar job making her own. They were so festive and tasty. We had quite a few leftover and I enjoyed pulling one or two or three out of the freezer for a few weeks after her party to eat!

Door Decorations
I found a blank Etchasketch picture online and used that for the base of all of my decorations. I used it to make a "Welcome to Lucy's Birthday Party" sign for the front door. I also put pictures of Lucy from her second year on the Etchasketches. Loved this!

Happy Birthday Banner
I used the Etchasketch picture to spell out "Happy Birthday Lucy" and strung them together for a banner. The party was held outside, so I put the banner on our house under the table Lucy sat at to eat her cake. 

Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Poster
Lucy's Gramma and Grampa Wiseman bought all of our Toy Story paper goods - plates, cups, napkins, party favors, and a game. This was so much appreciated! It was nice to not have to buy any of it. They found it at the Hallmark Discount Store for former employees. (Lucy's Grampa Wiseman retired from Hallmark a few years back after working their for 30 years and still has lots of good perks for his years of service to the company!) The poster below is actually part of a game, but we didn't play the game, just left it up for Lucy to enjoy. I love this picture of her!
