I think the ones in your picture are actually more boy-ish than feminine. I like them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-485729 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:27:33 +0000 JessiBee 485729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think both are cute! Is it more possible to reuse one than the other, like hanging it in his room afterwards or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-485714 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:22:13 +0000 littlek 485714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the pendant best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-485712 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:20:57 +0000 SAHM0811 485712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the pendant a lot better too (even if your LO wasn't a boy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-485299 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 08:16:38 +0000 heffalump 485299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think for a baby the tassels are fine! If it were a teenage boy.... no. But you can get away with these things with little ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-485089 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 01:02:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 485089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: hahaha! Yes!!! I mean either way the party will be awesome I think... And I love both!!! Thanks :)</p> <p>@lawbee11: hmmmmm... Def not a fan if that association lol!! @shopaholic: yeah, I would swap out the metallic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-485056 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:37:13 +0000 T-Mom 485056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the pennant as well. I like the tassel trend, but like @lawbee11 for reason they are reminding me of Pom poms? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484984 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:32:13 +0000 lawbee11 484984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the pennant banner better...not because I think the tassel garland is necessarily feminine, but to me they look like Pom-poms. I was a cheerleader in high school, though, so it could be my inner-cheerleader coming out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484970 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:27:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 484970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the banner better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484962 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:22:49 +0000 Pink Champagne 484962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's for a BABY- you have the rest of your life to do Tonka Truck/Superman/Thomas the Tank Engine themed birthday parties. Who cares if a tassel garland is kind of "pretty"? I say, make your party decor as cute as you want now, because when he's two and cries because he wants an Elmo cake, you'll at least have photos of your pretty, Pinterest-worthy party to look back on. :)<br /> FWIW, I don't think that tassel garland is feminine at all. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484946 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:14:39 +0000 shopaholic 484946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are both too cute! Perhaps it's just the metallic that's making it a little "feminine"? I think if you swapped the silver with navy, it'd look pretty masculine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484710 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:07:01 +0000 photojane 484710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would've never associated them with a gender. I think they're super cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484676 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:56:11 +0000 Bao 484676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like them both! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484672 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:54:15 +0000 loveisstrange 484672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to do a mix of bunting and rag/scrappy garland, like the bottom picture here.</p> <p>[attach=1353/13/mg8fyg.424x600.57350595226689766_QbeCLqQe_c--1-.jpg]</p> <p>I think you could pull off tassels for a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484492 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:04:01 +0000 mrskc 484492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the tassels are cute for a boy. I never thought of them as feminine before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484488 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:00:04 +0000 prettylizy 484488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think of them as gender specific any more than balloons are gender specific. I say go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484485 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:58:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 484485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I tried to find a picture that was quite neutral but most had metallics. If we go with the tassels, I will DIY it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484483 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:57:07 +0000 runsyellowlites 484483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh I like both! So I'm not much help. lol </p> <p>I think if you keep flat colors (not shiny like the silver in the example) the tassel garland would be fine for a boy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484475 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:54:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 484475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you could pull it off but I like the pendant better </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tassel-garlands-for-a-boys-birthday-yay-or-nay#post-484466 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:51:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 484466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning DS's first birthday and since we can't hang anything on the walls - the decorations we are using I want to be bold and beautiful.<br /> Our colors are bright: green, navy, yellow and grey. For the food table I want to do a garland or banner of some sort, one of us wants do do a traditional pennant banner and the other wants to do a tassel garland.</p> <p>The one who doesn't want a tassel garland thinks it's too feminine. So we consult HB: tassel garland yay or nay </p> [attach=1597/13/mg8d2l.570x355.il_570xN.357373520_t8ms.jpg] [attach=1597/13/mg8d2m.570x317.il_570xN.412347065_80az.jpg]
