After eventful first and second birthdays, and a lot of planning for the third, I had high hopes that this birthday party would be perfect. This year, his birthday fell on a Saturday, a perfect day to host a party. So on September 1st, we hosted a yellow birthday party at our house. Here is the big reveal; Noah’s third birthday party!
This year his birthday was all about his favorite color; yellow. Throughout the summer I diligently planned, bought, and made yellow items. We covered our home in yellow decor and invited his preschool class over for some fun. We were able to celebrate with my mom, sister, and brother-in-law, too.

The Invitation
- The decor: kitchen chalkboard, living room streamers and balloons, entry table with pictures of Noah at ages 1, 2, and 3 and favor bags and birthday hats, dining room decked in yellow
Dining room. The food was all yellow: bananas, Goldfish, cheese, pineapple, doughnuts, popcorn, and yellow cupcakes and candy.
- Beverage station featuring lemonade and lemon water, striped straws, and lemons. There are also homemade cookies shaped like the number 3 in the cake plate for each child to decorate with yellow frosting. Close up of homemade birthday banner.
Cupcakes and candy jars.

Party details: my artsy shot, striped straws and lemons, the three cookie cutter and yellow icing…all of the 3 cookies were eaten!
There are a lot of pictures of all of the children and family at the party, but I’m not sure they would like being included on a blog. The children played outside on the swing set and I had set up bowling, bubbles, t-ball, and a yellow bucket of toys. They had a great time playing outside and decorating number three cookies. We all enjoyed singing Happy Birthday to Noah.
Happy Birthday Noah! Blowing out the candles and making a wish.
Look at that beautiful three year old.

The Yellow Birthday Party was a great success. Noah had a wonderful time and I was so happy to host a party at our home for his friends. I think the third birthday was the best one yet.

Looks like a huge success! I loved the theme, and you did a great job incorporating yellow! I like the pictures you put up of Noah as a 1 and 2 year old…I’ll have to do that every birthday too. So fun you had a decorate-your-own-cookie station! Did you cry?? You guys all look fantastic 🙂
Thank you so much!! It all went so well. I (surprisingly) did not cry this year! It really was the first year that was just a celebratory day, thank goodness! So sad I forgot to take pictures of the cookies before we ate them, haha. Please use the picture idea! A lot of the parents commented on those and now they are on Noah’s dresser in his room. So glad you liked it! I think it turned out really well. 🙂
