What’s not to love about boats, sailing, the ocean, and birthdays?  Sara, from Portugal, styled a fun-loving nautical party for her son’s 4th birthday, and she added so many cute details!  I am excited to share her fabulous ideas for styling a seaside celebration!  I especially love these adorable little sailboats!

I also love the origami boats floating on the ocean blue party ball!  How clever!

This is such a darling tent made to resemble a sailboat~ Sara added quilts and pillows for a cozy spot to set sail during the party!

The party food was just as cute and festive~ take a look at this fabulous fruit sailboat…

Sara did a great job of making the party basics look stylish~

Festive sails on the straws…

The party guests were treated to gold coins scooped from the sea!

What a fun day for a sweet little boy!  Thank you for sharing the party fun with us, Sara!

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!

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!
