For kids in the summer, nothing beats having your very own lemonade stand, except for an ice-cold cup of fresh lemonade from your very own stand! We wanted to create the perfectly pink lemonade stand for our tiny guests to enjoy at our recent Pink Lemonade Birthday Party, which meant plenty of lemonade, sweet candy additions, custom decorations and the cutest party supplies! We added loads of pink accents and lemon details to create the perfect stand!

Before we assembled our Lemonade Stand, we wanted to get started on creating all of the custom diy details, which included a diy banner and diy lemonade signs!

To start creating the diy banner, start by collecting up six wooden banner pennants.

Give your wood a light sanding and coat each wooden banner pennant with a pop of bright pink paint and allow each one to dry completely.

While the paint is drying on the wooden banner, gather up six lemonade favor bags and a pair of scissors. Trim out the center section of each of the six bags and put them to the side for the next step.

Using a bit of hot glue, adhere the trimmed favor bag decals to the front of each of the wooden banners. String some bakers twine through the holes in the wood to create one long banner.

Using pink satin ribbon, tie a bow and adhere it to the center of the banner for a sweet and simple touch.

Now that the banner is complete, it is time to create some custom lemonade signs for the lemonade dispensers. Gather up two wood slats. Open up a pink lemonade luncheon napkin and trim it so that it is about one inch longer and one inch wider than each of the wood slats.

Flip the signs over and use a bit of tape to secure a piece of bakers twine to the back of the signage so that it can slip over the top of the beverage dispenser.
