When I asked daughter #2 what sort of birthday party she wanted for her third birthday, she turned to me with a big smile, eyes wide, and said "A YELLOW PARTY!" I looked blankly back because I had no idea what it meant, but she kept on insisting it was going to be a "Yellow Party" and I figured that I would know what to do.Along with CD favors of "yellow songs," a yellow treasure hunt, and a few yellow games we didn't get to play, I decided to prepare all manner of "yellow" foods if possible. (Thankfully she didn't want a blue birthday party...we'd be eating some strange stuff for sure.) I was unable to get a single shot of the food for it was devoured even before I could get a camera near. It was a mixed party of adults and 3 year olds, so I tried to make food appealing to both. Most of the kids, truthfully only liked the bagels, which I did not make, fruit salad, and yellow cupcakes. The adults, on the other hand devoured the food and I was actually fearful for a few moments that I would run out. Thankfully I did not. But the amount of food consumed exceeded my wildest expectations.
A Yellow Menu
Macaroni and Cheese
Curried Chicken Salad
Tuna Nicoise Salad (yellow from egg yolks)
Yellow Vanilla Cupcakes
Chocolate Chip Cookies (okay not yellow, but the mommies always expect these from me.)
Cranberry Oatmeal Toffee Cookies (again not yellow - but same reason as above.)
Oatmeal Toffee Pecan Cookies (still not yellow but what can you do)
Fruit salad (Yellow fruits of mango and pineapple, topped with non yellow fruits of strawberries and blueberries.)
Bagels and cream cheese (not yellow, but easy for kids to eat.)

I love your party ideas. That birthday banner is so beautiful. Do you know where I can get that template or what font size you used? I'm planning my daughter's 5th birthday party and need to make a banner. Thanks!

Jcrew...i did it on MS publisher. If you have MS Publisher I'm happy to email it to you so you dont' have to reinvent the wheel. I've seen similar banners (with some templates) on Martha stewart.com. Let me know if you need help either way.
Hi,
sorry to get back to you so late. I have macbook and I'm not sure if I have MS publisher. I have the Word application but I tried looking for some apps to make the circle but I'm not that computer savvy. I saw a template on Martha Stewart website for the birthday banner but I didn't like the font. Anyways, if you have time and could email me this template I'd appreciate it. It's jcrewphd at gmail.
Thanks so much!
