Since I first saw a sprinkler party in a Martha Stewart Living magazine years and years ago {when I only had two kids}, I was determined that if I ever had another baby, I would have a spring or summer birth so I could have the sprinkler party … and the fish towel party favors that went with it. Yep, I’m slightly crazy like that. Let’s just say that the twins’ March birthday was somewhat planned {wink}.
It turns out that March, even in Texas, can be a little too chilly and unpredictable for a sprinkler party. September, however, is just about perfect. Hello Tate.
For me, the real clincher for that sprinkler party has always been the towel favors. I just love them. A fabric fish sewn on to a towel and filled with goodies … how could you not love that?
Tate’s birthday party is coming up in a week or so and I sat down at the sewing machine and made the towels as favors for the kiddos.
I bought cheap white towels at a local big box store and used fabric that coordinates with the party colors to create the fish.
I simply cut out a large fish shape using pinking shears and stitched each fish onto a towel, leaving the mouth area open.
For the party, the fish will be filled with goodies that fit the drips and drops theme for Tate’s sprinkler and ice cream party.
These party favors are so cute and I love that they can be reused after the party. You could stick some goggles or sunscreen in the fish pocket and use these at a community pool or even at the beach.
I’m so glad little Tate was born and I finally get to have my Martha Stewart sprinkler party!
Super cute! I cannot wait to see the party! Don’t you love how things we see make us think… hmm I want a summer baby or spring baby? LOL!
Oh my goodness. I am in love with these towels!!! I am a sucker for a great favor!
Way super cute, I love them! A sprinkler party sounds so fun. 🙂
That is so adorable! Thanks Martha for the fab idea and hats off to you mom.
What a cool idea…I love the green fish and the goodies in the belly!

That idea is sooo cute.
The towels are adorable! The sprinkler party sounds like a lot of fun. My son’s birthday is in July so that would be perfect for him next year. I would love it if you would stop by and share at the crafty link party going on right now at Lines Across My Face.
I hope to see you soon,
