Blue's Clues Budget Birthday Party

This party was supposed to be a $0 budget. I told my BFF I could use entirely leftover or DIY decorations and  I ended up spending like $5 or $6 not counting food, (which was very minimal) and we would have eaten anyway at our regular play date game nights.
This was for my nephew's 2nd Birthday, just about everything was leftover from other parties. I decorated in under 2 hours, including finishing the cake and making the pennant banner.


Cake and Favor Table
The table runners were leftover from the Strawberry Shortcake Party. They remind me of Steve's shirt. The blue Polka Dot pennants were leftover from the Curious George Birthday Banner (the backside). 

Favors, everything inside was leftover from previous goody bags, the bags were extra from the Curious George party with stickers from my collection, The napkins were purchased for this party. cups and plates were leftover from other parties. I bought a package of paw print stamps on clearance with the napkins. 
Food Table. The tablecloth was leftover from the Strawberry Shortcake Party
we had hotdogs, potato and pasta salads and chips, all leftover from a party we had the day before for Daytona 500
The chip bowls are Dollar Tree dog dishes
The kids loved the hot dogs and had fun playing together!

Pail cups for drinks. we had the cups and I paid $1 for a huge bag of white pipe cleaners. 

As a guest book, we all wrote messages in a Blue's Clues book I found at a thrift store.
