Chocolate mustaches, necktie napkins, candy dominoes, and old records playing in the background set the ever-so-manly mood. For a finishing touch we made cupcakes and topped them with my son's monogrammed initials instead of the traditional birthday cake.
My favorite part of the party was the photo booth type setup with a very dapper backdrop. I was amazed at how much the guests got into it. In the end, we had a photo of just about every guest that had made my two-year-old's day so special. I ended up printing them off and using them as thank you notes.
All in all this was such an easy party to put together with very little expense. And most importantly, fun was definitely had by the kids and adults alike!

Shaw's Original Fir...
I just adore this party. I have a huge stack of neck ties waiting to be used on a project- what a fun idea to give them out to the boys!
Can I steal all these ideas for my son's first or second birthday party?! So great. Thanks for sharing.
I just love how fun, but also sophisticated this party is! I love all the fun little touches.
how crazy! I'm a Meredith also and we had a manly party for my little man in July. sooo cute!!

Clap, clap, clap. So very well done. I want a family photo like that last shot. Super cool.
cutest party ever!!!
So cute...I remember the manly party in July also and I LOVE the idea. I would love to do something similar but I have a little girl...maybe in the future :) Love the photobooth and candy mustaches are brilliant
Hmm.. I'm a Meredith too and i just don't think it's that cute. Maybe because I don't like very girly-girl or manly-man stuff and would rather have non-gender-specific birthday party themes (the dominoes, music, frames, etc. could all translate to a little girl's party too), but it is really cute, and inexpensive. the mustaches are very cute, as are the ties though :)
Love it! Way to represent Clinton, OK!
