Since my sister couldn't be with me on my birthday she sent me a box loaded with all the supplies to make my birthday special. It's a great idea for someone that you can't be with to show them how much you care and that you're thinking about them on their special day. Simply adjust the contents to reflect the individual. Here's what she sent in mine...
(Top row, l to r) Brownie mix and candles. She knows that's what I like. Other options could be cake mix, cookie mix or prepackaged goodies like hostess cupcakes for those who don't bake or don't have access to an oven.
She sent me pom poms to hang over the table. These are actually made from napkins, they don't tear as easily so they hold up better and match the decor perfectly. Other options could be streamers, pennant flags, posters or balloons to blow up.
She sent candles and placemats to dress up the table.
(Bottom row, l to r) Napkins, plates and straws, notice the black and white brocade flags on the straws, so cute!
She also made this cake topper, or in this case a brownie topper. The pennants say happy birthday and I love the green ruffle.
Last is a fun game to play with friends and family around the table. Each card has a question and everyone goes around answering. It's a great conversation starter.
I know she went to a lot of effort to make my day special, even though she couldn't be here. I love all the details. They really came together to make a gorgeous table.
