Let’s fly away together & celebrate Eliza’s 3rd birthday with this Vintage Inspired Barnyard Kite Party by Katie of Katie Rebecca Events! I love the cute weather & kite cookies, mini lunch boxes and rustic sweets table – everything is just perfect for a whimsical, kite-flying birthday picnic!

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

– Adorable kite-shaped birthday party invitations with ric-rac tails
– “Happy Birthday Eliza” banner + plushy kite and clouds, strung from a barn door
– Berry basket favors with sun, cloud and kite cookies & mini berry cupcakes
– Whimsical kite cake pops in a mini grassy, picket-fenced display

Inspired by nostalgic moments & the promises of a bright future, Do Driver of Piggy Bank Parties styled this creative “Picture Your Future” Graduation Party with Polaroid & photo album decor!
