Ugly Dolls = Monsters!

Part of our shopping trip last weekend included getting some monster-like decorations for Parker's birthday party. We went to "It's Your Party" and boy, are we ever glad that we did! They have a number of different catalogs that you can order from and we found some Ugly Doll decorations that matched our monster theme.

I must say, I love a good deal but... we are splurging a little bit for this party (it is after all my baby's FIRST birthday party) and surprisingly, Rob is the one that just HAD TO HAVE the party hats. However, we did buy some of the basic supplies from The Dollar Store so that helps even out the budget. Here's what we ordered and the cost breakdown:

The Piece de Resistance!
$15.00 (however totally worth it to see Parker's reaction)
* We also ordered four additional helium balloons attached to a weight.
Total Cost: $25.00





 





Monster Tattoos for the Goody Bags
$2.55 for 12 (we ordered two sets)
Total Cost: $5.10












Monster Party Hats
$7.00 for 6 hats (we ordered 3 sets)
Total Cost: $21.00

  
Monster Napkins
$5.00 (we ordered 2 sets)
Total Cost: $10.00

Colourful plates from The Dollar Store
$1.00 for 12 - bought 6 sets
Total Cost: $6.00

Carter's Mommy's Little Monster onesie
Sale Price: $4.99

Cups and googly eyes from The Dollar Store
Cups: 24 cups for $3.00
Googly Eyes: $2.00
Total Cost: $5.00








So far we've spent about $77.00 on the decorations and a birthday shirt. Like I mentioned before, I could have made cute monster party hats for about $5.00 but Rob REALLY wanted (for some unknown reason to me) the Ugly Doll ones so I blame him for the extra $15.00 expense! LOL Maybe he doesn't remember that Parker will not keep a hat on him for longer than 2 seconds.... hmmm should be interesting!!
