Melanie’s Marvel Avengers Birthday Party And Favor Bags On A Budget

My daughter is a HUGE Hulk fan. Like, HUGE! She’s just loves anything “Hulk Smash” and we watch “The Avengers” at least once a week. So, when it came time to plan her third birthday party, I decided to go with an Avengers theme. As the Patron Saint of Slacker Moms, I kept things VERY simple but still wanted to have a few special touches. As the official Cheap Ass of my family, I also wanted to keep it affordable. So, the idea of doing a swimming party with a superhero theme was born. Check out the rest of the post for tips and ideas from Melanie’s Marvel Avengers Birthday Party!

Wedding Ideas that Seem Great but Actually Suck

Today’s post isn’t meant to hurt anyone’s feelings or shit on any traditions but instead it’s meant to call attention to those little wedding bits we’ve seen on Pinterest or in person that seemed like they’d be a great thing but when it all came down to it… they bombed. Sometimes the ideas are lovely but executing them is difficult. Sometimes it’s just awkward for the guests (or you). Sometimes it’s just time-consuming. So before you get too hooked on that great little thing you saw on Pinterest, check out my suggestions for wedding ideas that seem great but actually suck (and some alternatives that don’t).

Wedding Wednesday: Our Cake and Dessert Table

Wedding Wednesday is back and today I’m sharing all the details about our wedding cake and dessert table! This was one of The Boy’s favorite parts of our wedding and something he was instrumental in planning. Very early on in the wedding planning process, we elected to do a tiny wedding cake (to cut for photos) and then a larger dessert table (with lots of cake and cake-like options). Neither of us was particularly interested in one of those large, tiered wedding cakes that never taste good so a dessert table sounded great to us.
