Back in February my mother asked M what kind of birthday cake he was going to have when he turned 3. He told her a rocket cake and stuck to it for the next four months. It was a surprise to me because I would have guessed my truck-loving boy would have wanted some kind of elaborate truck cake (think street sweeper). Anyway, it was through that request that M had a rocket-themed 3rd birthday party.
My favorite part of the party was the rocket invitations, a modified idea from Martha Stewart's website. I'd like to eventually post the PDF so others can use the template.
Most of my decorations came from Oriental Trading and we loved their inflatable planets (hung over the table). My favorite place to shop, the Target dollar aisle, provided rocket-like bubble favors.
