Shark Party!!!

Brennan turns 4 in a week and we had his birthday party this weekend. He really wanted a shark birthday party. I had a lot of fun planning this party and thought it turned out pretty cute.


Brennan saw this cake online and really had his heart set on it. My sweet friend, Nicole, did a fabulous job and Brennan squealed when he saw it.

I made some signs for the party since the park we had it at is a little hard to see from the road.
My 1st attempt at doing water bottle labels, and I think they turned out pretty cute.
Shark tooth candy necklaces
Shark gummies
Swedish Fish

I'm not sure if you can see, but Dustin cut shark bites out of the sandwiches

I made some shark infested jello...these were a big hit!

Awsome ideas! What did you use for the shark fin in the jello?

*Tonya I ordered this shark fin mold off of Amazon and used black cherry jello to create the fin

Courtney: I found the fruit snacks at Kroger grocery store. They were store brand. Amazon had some name brand ones, but were sold out when I needed them.
