Cute Mostly Dollar Store Birthday Party
Dollar Store shopping list :
Pink Napkins
Plastic utensils in contrasting color (I chose green)
Gift wrap ribbon
Matching plates and cups
Swirl and ball lollipops
Party platters (they have lots of colors)
Tablecover
Drink pitchers
Target list:
Gumballs (You can get bags of special individual colors in the party aisle)
Straws (sure the Dollar Store has these but Target has tons of cute colors with stripes and polka dots)
Wrap your silverware with your ribbon and napkins for some added charm. :)
I used all mismatching glasses to hold, straws, candy, and extra silverware. I turned out really cute.
I set up my Keurig with coffee and hot chocolate K-cups, marshmallows, sugar, milk, and a bottle of Baileys at the end of my table. I also put a pitcher of water, cute mismatched coffee and teacups from local thrift stores, and a little Dollar Store wastebasket the same color as my serving trays.
I set a veggie tray with ranch and a fruit tray with cheesecake dip on opposite sides of the table. In case you haven't heard of cheesecake dip let me be the first to tell you it's amazing! All you do is take a small tub of cream cheese spread and mix in powdered sugar until it tastes delicious! That's it! A few spoonfuls of sugar and you have the best party dip ever!
I also had chocolate covered pretzel sticks and marshmallow cones but we'll cover that in another post. :)
For my main dishes I decided to go the crockpot route which turned out to be such a great idea. We did chili and a breakfast casserole since our party was early in the day.

Easy DIY Bow Paper Clips
These are a great way to dress up boring papers at home or the office!
What you'll need:
Ribbon ( I used mini ribbon - $0.99 at Joann's or Micheal's)
Teeny tiny rubber bands (dollar store hair section)
Paper clips ( I used small, large would be equally pretty and allow you to use larger ribbon)
Scissors
Glue

First you cut your ribbon into small pieces (for small ones use about 2.5 inches). It took me some trial and error to get the length right.
Wrap the ribbon around as shown.
Pinch the middle as shown so it begins to resemble a real bow.
Cinch the middle with your rubber band.
Loop your paper clip through the rubber band on the backside of the bow.
Take a smaller piece of ribbon and wrap around the middle. Secure with glue ( I used hot glue but crazy glue would work as well).
Very cute addition to gift envelopes or as an actual gift! I gave mine to coworkers and friends (hopefully they liked them!)
