{Event Recap} A Royal Rainbow Court

Hear ye! Hear ye! May the Royal Birthday commence!
My youngest daughter adores princesses! Why? Because her sister loves princesses. My oldest loves Sleeping Beauty, because she's the "pink" princess. She then assigned Cinderella to my youngest. Of course my youngest also has a love for Sleeping Beauty, because her sister loves her. When asked what she wanted her birthday theme to be she just couldn't decide on a single princess. Every day it changed (which is kind of stressful to a mom trying to plan). I finally decided to choose a Rainbow Royal Court theme so she wouldn't have to pick just one. It also included all the little princes who wanted to come! We held the event at a local children's gym so the kids could play and have lots of fun.



During the gym portion of the event I served snacks for all the moms and dads to enjoy while they watched the kids running around. I tried to come up with lots of fun names for all of the food labels and stick to the rainbow theme for the food.



Veggies and Chips with "Rainbow" Dips
(Tiana's Tomato Salsa, Charming Nacho Cheese, Merida's Mango Salsa, A Whole New Hummus, Rapunzel's Ranch, Aurora's Avocado Dip, and Bibbity Bobbity Bean Dip)


Princes in a Blanket


Cinderella's Sugar Cookies


Triple Chocolate Cupcakes


"Under the Sea" Goldfish


Water with rainbow ice jewels

For the favors I made prince crowns and reversible capes (later to become super hero capes if the boys preferred after the party) for all the boys. I found two awesome tutorials online from Small Things and HowDoesShe on how to make them. For the princesses I had sparkly tiaras and homemade rainbow tutus. I used the favors to decorate the kids' food table when the guests first arrived.


Then during the gym time I handed them out for everyone to wear. This created some super cute pictures of all the kids running around in costume on the gym equipment.


After playing in the gym we only had 30 minutes allotted for the food and cake. I decided to preset the table with ice cube trays filled with healthy rainbow snacks for the kids.


This worked out so well! None of the parents had to run around trying to serve their kids, it gave lots of options for each of them to choose from, and it looked so pretty!!! Inside the tray I served raspberries, strawberries, oranges, carrots, string cheese, hummus, crackers, pineapple, dried snap peas, cucumbers, blue chips, blueberries, black berries, and purple grapes!


After all the healthy fare the kids got to enjoy mini cupcakes with rainbow, glittery, fondant tiaras.


I would say the event was a royal success! All of the princes, princesses, and chauffeurs seemed to have a wonderful time.

{Product} Watch out for Dinosaurs!

I recently was asked to design a new party line for a former client. Last year she used my picnic line to throw her son's 2nd birthday and this year she wanted something new. When she first spoke with me she was planning on a park theme since the party was being thrown in a local park. I suggested modifying it to a dinosaur park and she loved it! I was really happy with the look of this new line and wanted to share it with all of you. Everything is available ready made and as a printable in my shop. If you don't see what you're looking for just ask and I'll be happy to create a listing for you!

It all starts with the invitation!

{Product} Cars Birthday Line

I've been super behind on both posting to this blog and also adding all my new lines to my Etsy shop! Today's post is accomplishing both of these items! I've recently created a "Cars" themed birthday design by request from one of my customers. Her son is in love with Lightning McQueen and wanted this theme for his 3rd birthday. Here is what I came up with!



I think he liked it!

All the items pictured are now available in my Etsy shop as printables and ready made!

{Event Recap} Pan & Tink Boy/Girl Birthday

Early last year (ya I know that's how far behind I am on these posts!!!) I got asked to style a combo boy/girl birthday party for a little 2 and 4 year old. The mom asked for a Tinkerbell and Peter Pan theme using pink for the girls and green for the boys. I decided to focus on a woodsy, tree house style with lots of brown and beige to accent the pink and green. The dessert table was set up on the back deck under a beautiful wood plank awning. I covered the entire awning with strands of green felt leaf garlands. This gave the impression of being under a forest canopy with the Lost Boys. The table itself was covered in a burlap fabric and all the platters were wood slices in different shapes and sizes. The treats included:

A Beautiful and Whimsical Cake

Powdered Donuts decorated with Tinkerbell and Peter Pan silhouette toothpicks

Peter Pan's Cap Cake Pops

Strawberry Wendy Wafers

Cookie Pops, Strawberry Whoppers,
Gummy Candies, and of course Pixi Stix
I continued the decor throughout the rest of the party. When the guests arrived they entered along a walkway lined with silk Gerber daisies and pink and green fairy houses staked into the ground. Each of these were adorned with a tiny paper Tinkerbell silhouette. Wooden ships sat on the tables with pink and green pirate sails and the canopies were all draped in festive pink and green crepe paper.


All of the guests were asked to come dressed in costumes matching the theme. Even some of the parents were garbed in pirate attire and pajamas.



During the event the kids had lots of activities and crafts to keep them busy.

There was a Tinkerbell bounce house

Cookie decorating

A pirate ship water table and pixie dust station where the kids could fill containers with different colored sand

And of course a visit from Peter Pan and Tinkerbell!

At the end of the event as the guests left each kid got to take a fairy catching kit or book home with them!

Here are a few more fun party details for you to enjoy
