It might be freezing outside now, but looking back on photos from this sweet summer birthday party makes it seem almost like warmer days are near. Yes, I am almost six months late sharing about this party, but better late than never, and this one was worth waiting for – it was such a special day!
Evan is obsessed with all things GOLF so that just had to be the theme of his second birthday party. It was easy to combine golf with my love of classic little boy style and soft colors.
I had a seersucker jon jon made with an embroidered monogram and golf clubs.
My sweet friend Brooke of Brooke Lorraine Photography was kind enough to come and take these beautiful photos, which was such a blessing to me. It’s really a lot to be the party planner, decorator, hostess, mama AND photographer, though I usually do all those things at our parties. Having someone else take the photos made everything so much easier. She is so very talented and I love how she captured this special day!
My mother-in-law created these darling golf cookies that gave so much personality to the party.
I found these blue gingham treat bags at TJ Maxx and they were perfect for the take home gifts. We filled them with golf ball chocolates, golf ball pens and a few other goodies. I made the tags myself using the graphic from the invitation.
I couldn’t find quite the right thing for a backdrop so ended up printing two vintage golf posters in large scale to serve as the focal point above the dessert table.
We topped the cake with a little toy golf cart, which were fun to keep as toys after the party.
We decked the kids table with golf themed goodies also. Everyone got their own golf ball cup which were such a hit!
These golf plates fit the theme and color palette perfectly, and I layered them over gingham plates I found last year in the Target dollar spot.
We had the best time partying outside during most of the party. I have a summer birthday and am so glad one of my kids does too – there’s nothing like a summer birthday party with some water fun in the backyard! (Our pool is by Liewood, which is a Scandinavian company that’s sometimes hard to find in the US. Here’s the only version I could find right now – the smaller pool than we have.)
One thing I was so excited to include was corn hole decked out in the golf theme. I covered our normal corn hole boards in colored butcher paper to create golf greens, and the kids had a blast playing with them.
Another fun moment was this little “pro shop” in the backyard. I had grand visions of having a blue and white striped awning above it, but that was a failed DIY project (that I spent way too many hours on haha). But even without it, it was still a cute addition and the kids had fun playing shop in it! (Side note – if I had to do it over again I would use this method to create an awning.)
I’ll always remember this sweet party and special day. Evan is the most fun two year old – sweet, cuddly, adventurous, joyful and playful. It was so much fun to celebrate him with his very own golf party!
I have so much fun every year picking out items for the holiday gift guide, and this year was no exception! There is just something so special about giving a truly beautiful gift, especially when it’s something they’ll love but not necessarily buy for themselves. I hope this guide gives you some great ideas for…
One of my favorite things we did last year was style our porch for fall. We had just finished our exterior makeover and it was so nice to decorate and show off an exterior space of our home for the first time ever (we’ve never had an exterior that we liked). So I was happy…
This is the first season I’ve done much with our porch, since we didn’t love the exterior before we had it painted this summer (full exterior reveal coming very soon!). But now that we have the white house of our dreams, I was excited to deck out our front porch for the season. I headed…
I’m still in the process of decking my halls, but wanted to share some fun finds with you! Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post (as always all opinions are my own). Every year when I’m getting ready to pull out the Christmas decor I love to put together a few inspiration boards for…
If you guys have followed the blog for very long, you know that our “hearth room” as I like to call it, has been a bit of a thorn in my side. I love this room for its giant picture window, that it’s open to the kitchen, is very spacious and has a beautiful fireplace…
It’s hard to believe Mother’s Day is just around the corner! In my mind, time seems to be sort of standing still, so the fact that it’s almost May is hard to believe. I’ve rounded up some pretty gifts you can have shipped right to your mom or mother-in-law’s door (or send to your husband…

Hiii this is adorable! Few questions – where is the prints from on the wall of masters and championships?
Also, where is your dress from?
Hi! I couldn't find the kind of prints I wanted for a reasonable price so I just printed them from previews which you're really not supposed to do, plus they weren't very high res so up close they're pretty grainy. Sorry I can't link them better! My dress was from Old Navy!
I did just update the post with some better links!

Hi, love this golf party! Thinking of planning a “Hole in ONE” golf themed party for my son’s first birthday. How did you make the PRO SHOP and thank you signs from the invitation?
Thanks!! Molly
