An adorable party with an adorable theme! A Sip ‘n’ See for a new baby boy with so many clever references to what boys love! From bow tie pasta salad to Mississippi Mud Cake, Eleanor of Pink Peppermint Paper covered all the boy bases! What a wonderful welcome to the world for a sweet baby boy and his family!
How cute is this centerpiece with the baby’s name, the grass, and the pinwheel and bunting made of maps?
The flowers made of yo yos are a great way to add color and fun- and to stay with the boy charm!
More of what this baby will most likely find fascinating in his world of boy…jacks and bicycles!
Utensils wrapped in “sneakers” complete with shoelaces!
The food table was full of funny and clever treats to keep the guests entertained while they filled their plates!
I love the “Rocks in My Pita Pocket”- I can’t tell you how many times I have found rocks in my own son’s pockets!
And, the “No Girls Allowed” Club Sandwiches- so clever!
Sword fight fruit kabobs~
And, of course, where there are boys…there will be mud! Mini mud cakes for everyone!
Eleanor even served Grasshopper Mint Tea! How cute!
What a perfect theme! It makes me want to hug my little guy- and it makes me smile a little bigger about all of his funny “boy ways”! They make life fun with all of their grasshoppers and mud!
Thank you, Eleanor, for sharing your unique way of welcoming a new baby! You can find Eleanor at Pink Peppermint Paper. Be sure to keep up with all of her creative ideas here…

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!
