A gunmetal silver backdrop, glittered gold guns, over-sized chess pieces, and an ultra-cool image of the birthday honoree as James Bond all set the stage for a swanky, hip, and chic 40th birthday party!  Michelle, of Party Plan-It Designs, planned this party for her husband’s “Big Birthday” Bond-Style!  Michelle says he is “aged to perfection”…

Michelle served theme-related desserts along with a “Locked and Loaded” Potato Bar for dinner.  I love how she incorporated all of their favorite aspects of their favorite Bond movies.  Dice Cake Pops…

Gold Hand Guns- glittered fondant made by Michelle…

Fabulous cookies with clever nod to  “Double 0 40″…

Gold Bars and jewels served up in a silver briefcase…

Along with (shaken not stirred) martinis, Michelle served water using labels she made with her husband’s image as James~

And, look at the gun-shaped ice cubes!

And, for the kids at the party…Michelle had them set up with fedoras and boxes filled with spy gear!

Fabulous party, fabulous props~

Thank you for sharing your husband’s 40th birthday party with us, Michelle!  You set such a cool vibe for celebrating your favorite guy!  There is so much more of this party to see!  Be sure to stop by here for more photos and more details!

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!”. 

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!
