Anyway, I decided to do a Very Hungry Caterpillar themed party after finding some adorable ideas on Pinterest. I have always loved Eric Carle books (our entire playroom is decorated in Carle themed stuff), so it seemed like the perfect theme.
Food: I held the party during lunch time, so we had a fruit tray, veggies and dip, pigs in a blanket, peperoni rolls, chips, and, of course, CAKE! I couldn't find any local bakeries that had Very Hungry Caterpillar themed cakes, so I was going to just do basic cupcakes, but a co-worker of mine, Stefanie, offered to do the cakes for me and she did a fabulous job!!! She made a small "smash cake" and then a 2 tiered guest cake.
Decor: I kept the decor pretty simple. I used copies of The Very Hungry Caterpillar book, and stuffed caterpillars to decorate the table and counter. I also bought a "Happy Birthday" banner, table cloth, and paper lanterns from Hobby Lobby in the VHC color scheme. Emma and Sophia's dresses were also part of the decor. I ordered VHC fabric and had dresses custom-made for them by a family friend.
Overall, the party was a great success!
