M&M Themed Birthday Party.


My niece turned 2 in April, and my mom & I helped my sister plan her Birthday Party decor.
If there's one thing Miss E loves, it's m&ms!

Here's a look at her inexpensive m&m party:


This is the m&m cake I made for her party.  I found the idea from Recipe Girl, but used boxed cake mix and jar frosting... shhh!



Elena was so excited when she saw it, she wanted to dive right in!



I also made some mini cupcakes.  I just laid them out in the shape of a number 2 and then topped them with mini m&m's.


We stuck some m&m stickers on m&m colored helium balloons



And tied them to mason jars filled with m&m's.  They served as table centerpieces.


My mom got busy tracing and cutting out letter m's and &'s.  We just taped them up all over her garage.  They made the garage feel not so garagie.  :)


We were also lucky enough to know someone who lent us m&m lights, how fun!


Also, random bowls of m&m's were scattered on all the tables.


It was overall simple, easy, inexpensive... and cute.

And by the looks of it, little Miss E loved her m&m party :)


Linking up with these parties!
