Turkey, Turkey, Gobble, Gobble- eat too much…wobble, wobble. My sweet friend at Lauren McKinsey Designs is obviously a talented stationery designer, but she is also a fabulous party designer, too! I have been so excited to share what she did with her Thanksgiving Collection (that she generously offered as a giveaway this past week at The Party Wagon)! Enjoy her fun ideas as you prepare the last-minute details of your celebration!
I love seeing Lauren McKinsey Designs brought from paper to dessert with this fantastic cake by Dream Day Cakes…it is so adorable and captures the look of the graphic designs perfectly!
This party inspiration was set-up to include a place for the children to enjoy themselves on Thanksgiving Day with apple decorating and forts for reading and playing. The forts were handmade by Lauren’s husband!
The apple decorating station is such a pretty display~
This is what my children would love to do- redecorate as you eat the apple! So much fun for them!
A tall bottle of milk is the perfect drink to go along with all of the candy apple fun! Dressed up with sprinkles on the rim just adds to the excitement!
Something tells me that these children added the name “Lauren McKinsey” to their thankful list!
Wow! Such a fun, fresh design for Thanksgiving! I am thankful for such creative friends who share their talents with us!!
Enjoy! And, Happy Thanksgiving!

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time! My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun! Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes! For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor! So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child!
LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party! For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style! So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan! It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN! Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”.

Birthday Party Ideas for a Teen- How to Celebrate a TEEN
Wow! My daughter turned into a teen! Sometimes it can be tricky to decide what to do to celebrate this milestone. I wanted to share with you some ideas that may help if you want to mark the occasion but also keep it low-key. At first, my daughter wanted to have a very large sleepover to celebrate. I loved it that she wanted to include everyone she knew, but laughed at the thought of trying to corral close to 30 tweens and teens! So, I told her she could have a little, bitty, teeny sleepover and her “real” party could be bubble soccer (which she had been begging to do at this huge sleepover she was planning ). So, realizing the play on words with a “teeny” party, we went with the TEENY theme and used as many miniature things as we could. It was such a fun theme and the ideas could go on forever…but this is what we decided on for her teeny, little sleepover.
Love these cute ideas!
Thank you so much!
