Modern Farm Birthday Party

Anneliese created this super sweet modern farm party for her little girl Scarlett. Anneliese says, "We celebrated Scarlett's second birthday with a "Modern Farm" party--a cleaner, updated take on the farm theme with a little of the apple harvest season mixed in. Scarlett, not uniquely, made all the barnyard animal noises before she started articulating words, and "Big Red Barn" is her favorite bedtime read, so if she could have named the theme for her second birthday party I think "farm" really would have been it."

Simply illustrated farm invites.

Buttonhole napkin ties = adorable!!

Loving the animal silhouette table cloth. Farm style brunch is a great idea for a food spread.
Anneliese: The table was set with child-sized bamboo plates, individual bottles of milk (repurposed Frappuccino bottles) with Modern Farm labels (see below), and favor baskets at each place. I used wood pint-sized baskets (what happened to these? they are so great!) and filled them with a plastic farm animal, an old-fashioned lollipop in green apple or cherry, and an apple tagged with a thank you card (see below for printables).
