This week from Abbey Hendrickson (+giveaway)!

Our little boy is turning three this week, so we hosted a small birthday party at our house this weekend and I thought you all may enjoy a look. He'll be starting preschool this year, so I went with an old school theme (some of the things that inspired the party theme are here). I had a surprising amount of stuff laying around our house that fit my definition of 'old school'. The wreath above is my shameless interpretation of a beautiful Katie Runnels wreath. I found a couple of these little chalkboards at my parent's house.



Each invitation included an orange ceramic three and a graph paper scroll with the party details. I found these cute mint tins at a dollar store and repurposed them as invite-containers. Score!



I'm not really a fan of wrapping paper, so I kept it simple with his gift. I wrapped some graph paper around a cardboard box and cut the circle out of a security envelope. I found the chipboard 'E' at our local craft store.


Does it get anymore old school than pink erasers?! These were also a craft store find. I used an exacto blade to cut slits in each eraser and then just slid in graph paper name tags. Totally easy! If you're itching to see more party photos, visit Aesthetic Outburst. I'm also co-hosting a little giveaway in honor of our little guy's big 3. Come join in the fun!
