Little Monkey Party or Shower ideas/inspiration

How many people (or know someone who) call their kids little monkeys?! A monkey themed party would be a great theme for any season and any gender!  Don't forget about older, but still fresh!, Frosting for a Monkey theme here (link)

You can go traditional yellows, greens and neutrals or add some pinks or blues if you want to make it more gender specific.  Use banana leaves, bark and other textural items to add depth and interest.  Source

Ok, have to look all the way to the left, but do you see the banana balloon?! Blow up long yellow balloons and make green "leaves" and create a whole string of them! Source and tutorial

 Definitely have to have lots of banana treats! How about these chocolate dipped bananas with peanut butter frosting!? YUM! Source and tutorial

Super cute favor would be a bag of banana candies with a monkey topper! Source and tutorial 


















 

Monkeys!

UGH! It's been a few unexpected things the past few days so posting has had to wait (sorry!)  I am enjoying the hint of Spring coming though! All of our snow is gone WOOHOO! Though it has uncovered all the unfinished projects in the backyard waiting for my attention lol.  Here are some ideas to inspire you for a Monkey Themed party! Check out Facebook for a link to pics for a fantastic Monkey party!

I SO fell in love with this when I saw it! Hanging "vines" from the ceiling! How dang cute!?!? This would also be perfect for a Safari theme, too!  Source

These adorable Monkey theme b-day invites are from one of my bff (blog friends forever ;o)  Tell me the little pom-pom on his hat doesn't make you smile! Check out this and the related party stuff at Source  (Purple Pug)

Hang little Monkey in the barrel guys off the side of the kid's glasses! Serve juice the color of the party and add a sugar rim for extra fun! Source

This banana invite would be perfect to use as a table card too! Or just hang them around as part of the decorations! Source

Add a special touch to the napkins with a Monkey napkin ring - if you aren't super crafty, just buy stickers! There are so many available now with the boom of scrapbooking. Source

Cut bananas up and dip and chocolate, roll in nuts with a popsicle stick - how delicious! I like mine served out of the fridge - YUM! Source

These monkey cupcake toppers would be the perfect addition  Source
