This is one of my favorite parts of the party, a DIY grilled melt bar. Kate had tons of different toppings, breads, cheeses, spreads, veggies, and meats with a hot griddle ready to be used in the middle of the table. Guests could make their own hot sandwich as they pleased. I love that this takes some of the crazy out of the party. Sure, the prep is still there, but while the party is actually happening very little is needed on the part of the host.
Plus, look how cute her display is!
I’ll take a grasshopper s’more please!
And of course that birthday girl matched her party! Cutest. Outfit. Ever.
Kate, thanks again for letting me share you party. But now you got me craving a melty sandwich and melty marshmallow.
So dear reader, were you already on the owl loving bandwagon, and if not, did this change your mind?
And in case you are here just for the owls… check out this and this. I have a feeling you’ll like them.

This is DARLING. Thanks for linking up to Tutorial Tuesday
Adorable!! What a cute party! I have to ask where you got that owl shirt? I’m planning the same theme for my daughters first and it would br perfect with the skirt I am making 🙂
Bought it off Etsy. Wish I could remember the sellers name because I wanted one for her third. It was really well made.
where did you get the owls to paint?
Let me look again – I think from the party supply store Zurchers.
Oriental Trading. All the owl themed stuff is from there.
How did you make the colorful display for the grilled cheese bar! I love it but can’t figure out how you folded it. Is it paper? Tissue? Then how was it layered? Is there a tutorial on this?
It is accordion folded cardstock (used a bone folder) with coordinating patterned circles in the middle. They were done in various sizes and then hot glued onto a huge piece of cardboard. Which ironically was a bad plan to put above the grills because as you can see the heat started to melt the circles off throughout the party.
Great Party! I am doing an owl party for my daughter’s 2nd B-day. Where did you get the owl aprons
Oriental Trading!
Where did you find the 2 stuffed owls one is winking? my daughter collects owls and that would be sweet to add to her collection
Zurchers – it’s a party supply store!
The owls are from oriental trading. The come in a pack of 6 or 12.
How did you make the dum-dum trees?
A ball of styrofoam a painted wooden dowel a square piece of styrofoam cut to fit and a tin can. I had to clip the lollipop sticks to get them all to fit in the ball. I also used craft paper to cover the top of the can.
Wow,is there a certain place that you got the things at?
Angela- thanks! A lot of this party came from oriental tradings. The fun part is taking that stuff and amping it up!
Where did the pink and blue owl pops come from???
They are made with a mold purchased from Amazon and Wilton’s melting chocolate. 🙂
Did you make the owl shirt or where did you get it?
The shirts was purchased from http://www.madecutejust4u.com/. Great quality, professional and quick turn around.
Do you sell them? I would love to have one for my daughters 2nd birthday! (I’m answering the message back about the adorable owl shirt!)
I don’t sell them thats where I bought my daughters. If you go to the website that lady does sell them. She does a great job.
Sorry I was wrong… it’s a friends party and this is what shes said –
