Woodland owls and other animals of the forest have been a hot trend in parties this year, and so I have enjoyed seeing this whimsical take on the woodland theme– with bright pops of pinks, greens, and blues, Libby Lane Press has created a wonderful party theme! Full of easy treats and do-it-yourself decorations, look closely at all of the beautiful details~and invite over a few little friends to enjoy some fun during the school vacation or any time of the year!
I love the white yarn poms hanging from the branches on the dessert table- snowballs for winter in the woodlands! Throughout the table, you will find marshmallow “snow” drifts and candy delights. Notice how the candy trees stand tall in the wintry forest below the fun and crafty yarn ball chandeliers!
I REALLY love the candy trees! Nicolle wrapped styrofoam cones with Airheads, Buttton Candy, and Pixie Stix…I also love the ribbon tree~how easy and beautiful!
The treats included lovely little pops and cup cake toppers from professional bakers as well as EASY treats you can make with a simple trip to the grocery store for supplies…
You will LOVE how easy these adorable PINK TOADSTOOLS are to make! Simple take a Hostess “Sno Ball” and attach to a jumbo marshmallow using icing. SO cute and easy!
Nicolle also made simple edible acorns by using a doughnut hole dipped in icing and sprinkles with a pretzel stem for larger acorns. Smaller acorns were made with a Hershey’s Kiss, mini Nutter Butter, and a chocolate chip on top. The Graham Cracker Owls are a hoot, too~mashmallow eyes with candy details!
Pop over to Libby Lane Press for an adorable download of a fill-in invitation for purchase to make the party even easier! Nicolle has made it simple- print on your home computer and fill in the information for a fun play-date! I also think this would make an adorable theme for Valentine’s Day!
The delightful yarn ball chandeliers were made by Nicolle using balloons, Elmer’s glue, cornstarch, and yarn. I love it that they will hang in her children’s playroom after the party! Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing, Nicolle!

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.
LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY
What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books! I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series. It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie! Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way. At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books, and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
