Gather the ghouls and have a night of Halloween fun with these super cute (and really not so scary) party ideas from Debbie, of Wants and Wishes! If you are celebrating a birthday around Halloween or hosting a Halloween party, Wants and Wishes has so many ideas to provide the perfect inspiration! I especially love the pretzel skeletons on brownies and tied in a cute bag. Simply put a skewer in the brownie and use icing to support a stack of white chocolate pretzels and top with a marshmallow head…draw the face with edible markers!
The dessert table was decorated with handmade black and white striped pinwheel fans~
Little peepers stare at you and beckon you to try the cheese puffs! It is always nice to have something savory to go along with all of the sweet~
Apples decorated in candy corn stripes look beautiful on the table…
Snickerdoodle cookies are in their Halloween costumes, too~ instead of cinnamon on top, they are disguised with black and orange sprinkles and topped with eye-catching tags!
A simple Tic Tac Toe game is made party-ready with a custom design by Wants and Wishes and candy to use as markers…and see below for the adorable way to “sweep” the card clean between games! So clever!
I know the kids loved clearing their boards with these cute brooms!
Tree branches gathered from the yard and spray-painted black make for a perfect spooky centerpiece! Place them in a clear jar with candy and it is instant fun!
Such a cute party design!

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!”.
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!
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.
