jessila I used the tiniest size of Command hooks to attach the high chair banner throughout the middle, then taped the ends really well. We have the Fisher Price Space Saver highchair, which has a hook for bibs on one side and a cut out for a sippy cup on the other side, so I only made the banner long enough to fit between those two. It would have been too hard to string around them and keep it taut.
I don't have any decor to AW yet because Jude's birthday is at the end of June, but I wanted to chime in with what I call hair ties. Obviously, "hair ties," but I also use "chongo" because that's what the Mexican side of my family calls them.
I haven't been able to contribute much here yet, but I assembled these guys today! I will hang them up behind the cake/food table and hang them in her room after when I start updating from nursery to "big girl" room.
Has anyone seen a yard sign that won't break the bank? I want one or two and I can design my own if needed...I'm just only finding yard sale or for sale by owner signs.

I basically did this but hand sewed it where she used glue. I made a tube with the first section of fabric then kind of made it a scrunchie tube. Folded, pinched, sewed. Then added the center cover. Does that make sense?
It'd be super easy with a sewing machine but I don't have one.

What kind of sign are you looking for? Like, what material and what do you want it to say?
I just want it to say "LO's birthday" or "Happy birthday LO" and it just needs to stick into the hillside by where her party is, so I can help people find it!
purple I LOVE THAT DRESS!!!!! We love kitty cats here!!
L loves dogs, but she's completely nuts about cats. (She gets that from both parents.) And her favourite colour is red, and the dress has a big red bow. It was clearly designed with her in mind ;-)
I thought my mom had real doilies that I was going to strategically place on the cake/food table, but she discovered she no longer has hers. So I bought a couple cheap packages of two different sized paper doilies and made a table runner! lol maybe it's a little cheesy all taped together but the cake stand will go in the middle and food around it and my Pom wheels hanging behind it so it'll do the trick!
The only thing I'm making for Z's party is his cake and maybe a sign with pictures. I did a couple of trial runs with the icing this weekend and I'm pretty happy with it. There will be more colors/ details on the final masterpiece, but this is the basic design.
dogmama22billyhorrible @hazeldublin Thanks for reaffirming my original idea. She thought it looked a bit too busy so she came up with the ombre idea. Which I guess it does look busy but I think I still like it better.
sugarkissed what did you use for your chalkboard? I decided to make my own and I don't know if I should use a big chalkboard I have and chalk markers or buy a foam board and use metallic markers.
erbear, I painted a piece of wood with chalk paint and then did all of the writing with chalk markers. It was nice because they wash off pretty easily so I could fix my mistakes. The gold is all metallic marker though and thus permanent.

I have a big chalkboard so I will use chalkboard markers! Thanks!
erbear FYI if you let the chalk marker sit for a while, it's harder to erase. So it's good to erase as you're going if you don't like something. Mr. Clean Magic Erasers work great for getting it off though!

I found that out after my wedding; they were nearly impossible to clean when I did clean them! One board I just use in my classroom as a boggle board because it never came off completely.
