I am not very good at making puns and I think this title is a perfect example. However, this party theme was the perfect mix of cute and functional. In an effort to get the boys together with some friends I decided to throw a Valentine’s day pizza party.

I kept the decor simple with red, white, and pink pieces. The purchased balloon garland did not make it to my door on time so I had to quickly problem solve, the night before our little party. Ended up making a simple backdrop with leftover tablecloths and added some balloons to the top. The whole thing cost about $6.00. The rest of the table decor included gift bags for the kids, a playdough pizza making station and supplies to make our own pizzas and cookies. Any sort of making activity is a big hit with toddlers, especially if it includes food.

Here are the undoubtedly best shots. The kids making their pizzas and adding too much cheese, and later making some super yummy pizza looking cookies.
