First up were the invitations. I've pinned a lot of okay ideas but finally found one that I loved!
I pretty much just copied this. I added a tag that will print with the invite and plan on covering the ears in dalmatian print fur! And of course, a place for googly eyes.
I added lots of instructions and a finished example in the .ai file, but if you're directly printing off google, I guess you'll have to figure it out.
The best part about these is that you can use different colors of paper to make different breeds!

Next was the banner. I wanted lots of dalmatian print. After countless hours on Pinterest, I found my inspiration.
It's from an Etsy store that has some GREAT Disney themed printables- https://www.etsy.com/shop/KraftsbyKaleigh
Because the party isn't for four months, I don't have photos of the decorations printed out or in use. :(
I plan on cutting them out around the circle. They are alternating- dalmatian, pink, dalmatian, pink.
I also made some with a paw print to go at the beginning and end of each word.
I ended up loving these two patterns together so much, I based all the designs around them!
Making the food labels was the funnest part- there are so many cute food names for a puppy party!
I found so many great ideas for these, it's hard to say what the biggest inspiration was.
I made tons of food labels so I can choose whatever I want to have closer to time. I also made signs for the tables and a few game signs.
I made an adoption sign for the doggie bags that will have a stuffed puppy and some dog biscuits (cookies).
And speaking of the dog biscuits-
You fold it and staple it on top of your bags of treats. I made a ziplock and a smaller size.
Last is for the silverware. I loved the look of this...
...and it shows you how!
Just cut around the pink! I even added dots where the holes go- just in case I have my husband help.
I just finished up a pin-the-tail game. Pin the spot on the dalmatian.

| I traced this picture as big as I needed it and then traced it onto my board using a sharpie. |
 |
| The sharpie bled through enough so that I could see my lines. Some black paint and viola. |
 |
| Then cut spots out of a piece of black poster board. We will use sticky tack so the game is reusable. |

The door to the party is going to be a dog house that they have to go through! I'm going to make puppy ears on headbands and serve the food in dog bowls.
We had a GREAT party! In all the excitement, I only got a few photos..but here they are.
And a bonus photo with the BIRTHDAY GIRL!
