So has this happened to anyone else? I thought I had my daughter Ava’s 3rd birthday party theme all planned and designed out – a “You Are My Sunshine” theme, since she is my husband and my ray of light. Well, I decided to peruse a HomeGoods store while I in Tucson, hoping to find cute invitations to send out…

Only to be stopped in my tracks by these super cute cocktail napkins and plates.

And…game over. Theme has changed to a loose “island theme”. I’m really trying to stay away from a purely “Hawaiian” or “Moana” themed birthday, but want to create the casual vibe of an island breeze with pops of bright colors and pineapples. I think this will still go along beautifully with the pool party we have planned at the place where she takes swimming lessons.

My creative juices are still flowing, but I’m envisioning big yellow food plates (the plates and napkins above will be used for dessert) and cups, dark green napkins, and pineapple centerpieces sitting on palm leaves.

Here are some inspiration photos.

The invitations I bought on Amazon.

For food, I am 99% sure we’ll be having an assortment of goodies from Chick-Fil-A.

Can’t wait to show you the finished product in a couple of months!
