Lemonade Party

I started out with this pretty yellow striped table cloth from IKEA. For the flowers I picked some wild flowers -wild roses, daisies and buttercups, and placed them around the yard in pretty mason jars.  They were so simple and so beautiful.

I also used the felt birthday banner that I made years ago.

When I made it, I made sure that the bunting flags on the ends were blank so the decorations could be changed with velcro or double sided tape, to fit any theme. For our lemonade party, I made some simple felt lemon slices.

BBQ Lunch

I set up the lunch food on a little bench up on the deck.  I also decorated with more wild flowers, and a chalkboard sign.

We had a simple, kid friendly lunch of hotdogs and sausage, veggies and dip, and chips.

Next I used some yellow checked wax paper to wrap up the hot dogs, and take out fry containers to hold the chips, which worked out perfectly.

After lunch it was time for dessert. My sister and brother-in-law made my girls this awesome lemonade stand, a few Christmas’ ago. It was made with a changeable awning, we used the other one for Maddie’s cupcake party as the dessert table –see it here. For this party it was the perfect lemonade stand and dessert table, with the “pinch of sugar Lemonade” banner.

Free Lemonade Printable

I made a cute lemonade printable for the dessert table, and put it in a simple frame. It’s the old saying “if life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. You can download the free printable as a thank you gift for subscribing to our weekly newsletter at the below.

Pink and Yellow Lemonade Dessert Table

We used the bottom section of the stand for lemons, and filled the middle baskets with lemonade. I found these great individual sized bottles, and filled them with regular and pink lemonade.  I paired them up with pretty pink and yellow striped straws.

The top section we used for the dessert table, filled with lots of yummy yellow, and pink desserts.

I found a few fun lemon sweets, including lemon slice candies, lemon lollipops, and lemon fruit candies.

We used some jumbo strawberry marshmallows, that we dipped in yellow chocolate to make some fun marshmallow pops -always a favourite with the kids.

I also found some pink and yellow cotton candy, and served it in little plastic shot glasses.

We had some strawberry jelly donut timbits. I made a few fun picks with yellow and pink pom poms and some toothpicks.  The little tiny plates are from the dollar store.

I made some sugar cookies. To make them look like lemons, I cut out the circle shape using a glass as a cookie cutter. I served them on a plate covered in pink sprinkles, such a fun idea for a party.

Cake and Activities

The cake was a delicious pink ombre cake with fluffy marshmallow icing, see all the instructions on how I made it here.

We had a wonderful afternoon together playing in the backyard.
