Camping has so many fun elements for children, and an indoor campout (oxymoron?) makes a perfect party for children eager to enjoy all that camping has to offer…right in the comfort of home! It also makes it easier on mom and dad! Margit, of Dot & Dash, designed and hosted this adorable party for her daughter’s 7th birthday. Margit is always so creative and full of fun- so… cozy-up by the campfire and enjoy!
The cupcakes were topped with fondant toppers that each had a camping motif- from tents, to campfires, to roasted marshmallows! Such cute toppers from Love and Sugar Kisses!
Margit set the camping scene with props straight from outdoors- such as tree branches for signs and pine cones throughout. She also set up the yummy treats using a miniature tent and a backdrop full of poms, pinecones, and flashlights!
Can you see the cute cupcakes snuggled in the tent?
Other treats included SMore’s Cookies, chocolate covered marshmallows, and jars of candy~
There was also a Trail Mix Station…
Complete with cute water bottles…
The campfire was a perfect place to sit to enjoy your food and the activities…
The table setting was rustic and cute at the same time!
Margit also gave the party an out-doorsy feel by putting up a tree inside!
The activities included decorating flashlights, making a “God’s Eye”, playing “Camp-O”, “Campicures” (painting nails), Critter Toss, and watching a Yogi Bear movie~
The girls went home with “Campfire Stew”!
Such a fun time for the girls! Margit also did this party for her son, and you can see the “Boy Version” here.
Thank you for sharing the party, Dot & Dash!!

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!

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!”.

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!

CAMILLE’S CLUBHOUSE ~ Confectionery, Soda Shoppe, Spa
My daughter had lots of ideas of what she wanted to do to celebrate her 10th birthday! She wanted to have lots of cookies~ and have a soda shoppe ~ and set up a spa for nail painting! With so many ideas, I knew we should come up with something that would tie it all together. And, that is how Camille’s Clubhouse became the theme- the Clubhouse is where you can find lots of her favorite things! We sent invitations with a an insert that had a “password” that had to be unscrambled and brought to the party for “entry”. That was an easy way to get the guests involved before the party even started!
