I was so excited when Amanda, of Shindig Parties to Go, kindly sent me her Candy Christmas Collection to use for an upcoming party! While I am working away on a (much simpler) party with this fun collection, I wanted to show you Amanda’s SPECTACULAR party ideas using her Candy Christmas printables! Her creativity and eye for detail is amazing! Pull a few ideas to use for your own party or use them all- you and your guests will love it! There will be more from Shindig following this post~ keep going for the cocoa bar and those super easy Rice Krispy Treats!
Amanda adds so many details to her backdrop and party display~ notice the mix of patterns framed separately, the dressed-up cake stands that Amanda made herself, and the candy topiaries! Easy store-bought Rice Krispie Treats become beautiful party food with chocolate drizzles and paper toppers!
To make the Rice Krispie Treats, start with store-bought Rice Krispie Treats and cut into bite-size portions. Add a lollipop stick. Dip in melted white chocolate and then drizzle with melted red Candy Melts (found at craft stores in the baking aisle). Easy!
The beautiful cake was homemade by Amanda, but you could also use a store-bought cake and decorate with peppermint sticks. The always-perfect fondant toppers are from Brittany at Edible Details.
More fondant toppers grace the goodies on the table~
I love the signs that Amanda designed for this party~
One of my favorite ideas from Shindig is how Amanda used printed paper from her collection to make a party hat to display each cake pop! The “ball” on top of the party hat is a cake pop on top! She also added fur around the edges of the hat for an extra festive touch~
An easy candy addition is large marshmallows topped with crushed peppermint and served with a striped straw in the center~
I just LOVE the red velvet parfaits served with a Santa hat topping the spoons~ I hope there are still some at Hobby Lobby for me to use this Christmas!
The candy bar wrappers are too cute for words!
Perfect for the treat bags!
Amanda put all of this together and displayed it on the most beautiful tablecloth that she made using a white tablecloth that she already had. She added ruffles in different fabrics and topped with a bow!
LOVELY! Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your talent with us!
You can find another sweet holiday party here.
You can find Shindig’s printable COLLECTIONS in her shop!

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!”.

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!
