It happened, Mamas. Senior Night for No. 1 was this past Friday. And guess what? I actually made it through without crying! I know, I know. HOW?!? Well, for starters I was crying on and off all week long. I was also running around like a chicken with my head cut off making sure that everything was set and that everyone knew where to be, and what to do. And finally, I spent waaaay too long doing my makeup to cry and forever look a hot mess in pictures. #FORREALS
Senior Night actually began at 4pm for the team (3pm for us mamas). We arrived earlier than we normally do to set up for our pre-game meal. We wanted to make it extra special for our 16 Seniors, so we decided to set the table for them. We found a bunch of football themed supplies, as well as plates and a table cover in our team colors at our local party store.
We let the Seniors choose what they wanted to eat this week, and of course they chose Chick-fil-A. I mean, can you blame them?! We picked up assorted chips and fruit to go alongside the chicken sandwiches.
And for dessert...
They had individual bundt cakes, with these super cute, photo toppers!
They were one of my favorite details of all! Sure, you can order them. But it's more fun (and cost effective!) to make them yourself!
Here's how.
What you need:
- Wallet sized photos (2 for each player)
- Foam board
- Scissors
- X-Acto knife
- Glue
- Cake topper sticks
- Cut your photos. I decided to round the edges a bit. If you have a pair of those scissors that cut decorative edges, they'd be perfect for this!
- Trace photos onto your foam board. You only need to trace one photo for each player as the toppers are double sided.
- Cut out the shapes you traced using an X-ACTO knife. Then glue them on to the foam board.
- Once you've glued your photos on both the front and back, stick one of the cake toppers into the bottom of the foam board- no glue needed!
