Today I’m sharing another fabulous party put together by my talented sister-in-law – a pink and gold Paris party. This party was for my niece who turned 8 and she chose a Paris theme because she’s in the French Immersion program at school and just loves anything Paris related right now. I love the color scheme she chose – pink, yellow and gold. A break from the traditional pink and black Paris themed parties you typically see.

The dessert table was set up against a fun brick wall in the kitchen. A large heart made from small light yellow colored tissue poms was placed in the center of the wall – such a fun, feminine touch!

Beautiful and delicious desserts included eclairs (of course!), frosted sugar cookies, cupcakes with beautiful yellow, pink & gold fondant toppers and gorgeous cream puffs shaped like swans – aren’t they fabulous?!

A pink ceramic pitcher filled with beautiful light yellow roses was another favorite element of the dessert table.

Party decor included a darling banner with the birthday girl’s name, small hanging poms and then I love the large poms that hung over the activity tables, which were made by stringing 3 sizes of tissue poms together.

Beautiful white hydrangeas and some other fun touches.

The matching water bottle labels are a must have!

Guests took home nail polish and socks in a cute pink container tied with a coordinating favor tag.

The Ooh La Love printed party materials can be purchased from Hostess Ink.

I’ve been meaning to post this party forever so I’m finally just doing it! I’m going to try and get all the other parties I did last year posted as well so be prepared for party overload – sorry!

My cute sister-in-law created this Minecraft party for her 5 year old son who is totally obsessed with Minecraft. I’m sure many of you can relate to Minecraft-obsessed kids, huh?!

One of my favorite elements was this cool creeper made out of paper plates – genius! And of course, the tissue tassels are awesome too.

This fun banner hung in the party area.

The backdrop for the dessert table was made out of spray painted cardboard boxes in coordinating Minecraft colors.

Desserts included cupcakes with Creeper toppers & coordinating wraps, chocolate cake pops, yummy homemade oreo cookies (as our family calls them) and grass covered rice krispie treats.

For favors, the guests could take home various types of Minecraft-inspired candy packaged in clear square boxes such as gold & silver Hershey nuggets, shades of green M&M’s and green gummy bears.

I love how she decorated a simple white cake with the fun banner and creepers!

Hopefully you got some fun ideas to help you plan those upcoming Minecraft parties for those Minecraft-obsessed kids!

Happy Friday everyone! I have another party to share with you today so I guess I’ll call this ‘featured party week’ – yay!!  Today’s party is a pretty pink princess party that my sister-in-law created for her daughter turning 7. That was her daughter’s exact request – a pretty pink princess party – love it!!

Pink decorations and accents were used throughout the party area, including the activity table where the girls made beaded bracelets, played a game and ate their yummy treats. This fun pink patterned wrapping paper was used as a table runner set on top of a white vinyl tablecloth.

She made pink and silver tissue tassels that hung from the fun extra large balloons for centerpieces.

Folding chairs were covered with white vinyl and adorned with a darling pink tulle bow – genius!

The mantle was accessorized with several pink elements including the tissue tassel garland, mirror, decoupaged square vase and more!

Tulle and tissue paper poms were also hung to decorate the party area.

As the girls arrived at the party, they were, of course, drawn to the beautiful dessert table. A pink glittered skirt was added to the base of the dessert table for a little extra princessy flair.

Above the table hung a collection of tissue poms and lanterns. The entire table was also draped with pretty pink tulle. Absolutely fit for a princess!

At the center of the dessert table was the beautiful pink cake perfectly adorned with a pink crown and matching pink bow.

And the darling matching cupcakes.

The girls were just amazed that they could eat the WHOLE cupcake – silver balls on the crowns and all!

Other pink treats included homemade pink oreos, caramel dipped marshmallows, pink snowballs, heart cakes and a variety of coordinating candy.

For favors each of the girls got to take home a darling pink necklace that my sister-in-law made.

Thanks so much Adriane for letting me share your beautiful party with my readers!!

My friend Debbie from Wants and Wishes Design always creates the most amazing parties to go along with her printables and this Tangled Rapunzel party is no exception!

She used ruffled fabric ordered from rufflefabric.com as the backdrop for the dessert table – perfect for a princess party!

She also draped a sheer pink fabric gilded with pink beads to incorporate the “princess” part of the table. Lanterns and the purple and pink banner where hung to add touches of the Tangled sun element.

At the center of the dessert table was a delicious pina colada cake, along with strawberry cupcakes, kiss me frog sugar cookies, magical pineapple strands of golden hair and candy rock wands.

Guests were able to adorn their princess hats and crowns with beautiful jewels!

Debbie has 3 matching invitations that coordinate perfectly with the rest of the printable party elements!

Thanks so much for letting us share your fabulous party with our readers, Debbie!

This post is way overdue, but I’m finally posting pics of the Circus Birthday Party that my amazing sister in law created for her daughter turning 6 last year. She always comes up with the cutest decorating ideas and fun activities!

This cute printable sign welcomed the sweet little guests.

All of the party areas were decorated to look like a real circus tent – so fun! She used plastic tablecloths to create the red and white big top and other party stations.

When the girls arrived at the party, they were given a bucket to collect their tickets from the various games. There were some fun, circus games such as fishing, bean bag toss, darts and more. The girls received tickets from the games and after they all played, they were able to redeem their tickets for prizes from the fun prize board!

After all the games and prizes, a face painter came and painted all the girls’ faces – they were so adorable!

Then it was time to enjoy all the fun treats from the dessert table!

Perfect centerpieces – a basket of peanuts.

All the girls had a fabulous time at the party!

Debbie at Wants and Wishes Design and myself must have the exact same style because I always LOVE everything she creates and this Modern Neon Merry and Bright Christmas collection is no exception! I absolutely adore the color scheme she chose – I’m totally into bright neon – it’s such a fun and whimsical departure from your traditional red & green Christmas colors.

Debbie created the color blocked backdrop for this bright party using wrapping paper from IKEA – .99 per roll – you can’t beat that! Then she added the white faux deer head to the center and hung the Merry & Bright banner from the antlers.

To add some softness to the table, she created a mini ornament bunting and strung it between the cake plates – darling!

All sorts of yummy desserts were displayed on the table. Debbie really wanted the bright colors and patterns to be apparent.

Delicious cake pops adorned with square toppers. Debbie is such a talented designer…I think all of the printable party elements she created are just fabulous!

Yummy Reindeer Food was created with bright purple chocolate covered popcorn and sweet candy mixture. Cupcakes are made pretty by adding crushed candy canes to the top of the white frosting.

Beautiful checkerboard shortbread cookies are nicely displayed by grouping them together and tying with a pretty ribbon. Did you notice the cookies coordinate with one of the patterns in the collection? Love it!

Guests could enjoy a frothy Strawberry ice cream punch or water to quench their thirst. Glass bottles are embellished with a cute ribbon and coordinating party circles.

This wonderful sweets display is one of my favorite pieces on the table. The brightly colored treats look beautiful nestled in the mini candy dots and really bring out the pretty patterns on the cookies.

Delicious bright green macarons with strawberry filling.

Elegantly decorated snowflake sugar cookies.

Polka dot patterned chocolate covered oreos.

Wonderful collection of the fabulous desserts and sweets.

Here’s the fun invitations that coordinate with the rest of the Modern Neon Merry and Bright Christmas collection. Just think how excited your guests would be to receive this beautiful invitation in the mail, giving them a peek into what’s in store for them at the party!

Thank you so much Debbie, for letting me share your fabulous party with my readers – I absolutely LOVE it!

When I saw the amazing pictures that Amy of Amy L.B. Photography posted on Facebook for her son’s 6th birthday pirate party, I knew I had to share them with you here!  I first saw Amy’s talent when her Fairyland Safari party was featured on the Totful Memories blog and even more recently her Dinosaur Rawr party was featured on HWTM – wow!!

Amy made everything herself.  And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING (with help of her wonderful husband) including the cake, decorations, favors, food etc.  Just take a look for yourself at the fabulousness she captured beautifully!

A great party starts with a fun invitation!  The invitation and all party printables were created by the talented Ashley at Cupcake Express.

The dessert table included a fondant cake that Amy made herself as the centerpiece, along with cupcakes, red velvet cake pop cones, pirate marshmallow pops and jello ships.

The main eating table was beautifully decorated and guests enjoyed pigs in a blanket to eat along with pink lemonade and chocolate milk served in glasses embellished with burlap and party printables – darling!!

Activities included searching for a treasure filled with gold coins and skull & crossbone crayons, breaking a pinata Amy made, playing and having a water balloon fight in the cardboard ships Amy’s husband created, a photobooth for kids to take some silly pictures and some fun pirate crafts as well – wow!!

Darling printable bags filled with fun little toys were given to each guest as a party favor.

More amazing decorations and a beautifully decorated chair for the birthday boy to open his presents in.  I’m certain Gavin and all of his friends had an AMAZING time at the party!  Thanks for letting us share, Amy!!

We’re coming to the end of baseball season here at our house…playoffs are now starting for my boys.  I wanted to share this vintage baseball themed birthday party that my friend Toni created for her boys – it’s a perfect party theme for anyone with boys who love baseball, or use some of these ideas to throw an end-of-the-season party for your team!

The party was held at a local park with a baseball diamond (of course!) so Toni put the dessert/candy table in front of the baseball diamond fence. Vintage letters were used to spell out the boys’ names along with a bunch of pictures all hung with clothespins to create a simple but wonderful backdrop…genius!

Using wooden boxes, crates and baskets from her home were great (and free!) for holding various vintage candies and baseball snacks such as Cracker Jack, peanuts, sunflower seeds, taffy, licorice wheels, cotton candy, rock candy and bubble gum.

The use of mason jars, burlap and jute also give the table the vintage look she was going for. And did you notice all of the tiny baseball bats tied to the candy jars – they are just the perfect touch!

At the center of the sweets table was a fun homemade cake with a darling bunting and baseball in the middle – so cute!

Additional food and drinks were displayed on a table under the pavilion at the park which was decorated with these fabulous “junk banners” as Toni calls them. You basically just take anything related to the theme and/or colors of your party and sew them onto a very long piece of ribbon or ric-rac. Simple, inexpensive and totally dresses up the party area!

I love how she used an old window frame to display pictures of the boys for all the guests to see.

The classic Coca Cola crate and galvanized storage container for holding drinks definitely keep with the vintage theme of the party.

I just love this picture of the boys in their matching baseball shirts…they’re ready to play a game of baseball! Which is exactly what guests did after eating and having dessert…a great activity for a large group of people and everyone had a really fun time!

Thanks for letting me share your wonderful vintage baseball party, Toni. As always, you did a fabulous job!  And yes, it’s the same friend that created the darling Monster Party and Graduation Dessert table – she’s AMAZING!!

We’ve had a lot of boy parties on the blog lately…the Mickey Mouse party, the Star Wars party and Friday Logan’s Soccer party so today I’m featuring a totally girly party!  I absolutely adore this beautiful yellow & white high tea party that Toni at Fairydust Stylish Stationery designed for her daughter Chloe’s 12th birthday! The fun colors just make me happy!

There are so many little details that I absolutely love…the first being those lovely yellow and white polka dot umbrellas used for the backdrop on the dessert table – adorable!

Details of the dessert table included gorgeous cookies, candy bars wrapped in coordinating printables, vanilla mousse cups tied with a personalized wooden spoon, lots of fun candies in glass jars and a lovely cake in the shape of a cupcake with yellow daisy and butterfly embellishments.

Beautiful napkin ring holders were used to embellish the milk bottle drinks and are just stunning!

The main seating table is beautifully decorated with a yellow and white striped table runner, a white antique bird cage as the centerpiece and lovely yellow flowers arranged in white containers. Cupcakes with matching wrappers and flags were displayed on simple white cake stands and the white paper butterfly chandelier is the perfect accent.

Guests were given some wonderful favors (including Chloe perfume!) which where packaged in these darling lunchbox-style carrying cases coordinated with the other party printables.

The side table included a few more food items and goodies for the girls to enjoy.

The tissue paper poms and yellow polka dot lanterns are a wonderful way to decorate the party area and the white paper butterflies throughout the party are just the perfect touch.

Absolutely beautiful, Toni – thanks so much for letting us share with our wonderful readers!
