This past weekend we celebrated our sweet babe’s fourth birthday. In true boy fashion, he requested a puppy party with pancakes and cake. This DIY printable backdrop was the perfect addition to our puppy themed party! I ran with his request and hosted some neighborhood friends for a (pretend!) puppy adoption and pancake brunch. And of course, cake with oodles of cute puppies.

I absolutely adore these puppy prints that we used for our backdrop. I just downloaded the image from Etsy, ran them through our regular printer, gave my (very responsible) five year old a pair of scissors, and voila! This puppy garland would also be SO cute and can be put up in a pinch! I also LOVE the matching paper plates!

A big hug to our friends Megan and Alden for joining and taking these adorable photos. I mainly sourced everything from amazon thanks to my last minute planning (sigh)! Here’s the links for some of our party supplies:
