Rudolph the PINK-Nosed Reindeer, had a very shiny nose! Kate Petronis, of And Everything Sweet, makes everything shine in this adorable party for her daughters and their friends!
Kate had a shirt (made by her mother) for each child to wear- each initial made to look like Rudolph and each with a different personality!
Pink shiny noses, pink bows, and antlers were all part of the party!
Kate is a fabulous baker and always makes the cutest treats for parties. But, before the sweets, Kate served Rudolph sandwiches for lunch. I bet the girls all knew that they were in for something yummy and ate every bite of their lunches!
I love how simple these sandwiches are to make- use a heart-shaped cookie cutter and decorate with pretzels and candy…you could also use raisins for the eyes!
And, after lunch…who could resist these little guys (or gals!)?
Kate used chocolate covered Oreos and dressed them up with pretzel antlers, a candy nose, and fondant eyes…
Add a lollipop stick and a ribbon, and there you go!
Another thing that I love about Kate’s parties is that she always has the cutest activities for the girls. Kate had gingerbread house decorating, ornament making, and game playing- all adorably executed!
Kate made all of the gingerbread houses herself- and notice all of the marshmallow “snow” that is falling!
The girls also made ornaments of Baby Jesus in the manger…
And, the girls played “Jack Frost is Not Lost”…a FREE download here via How Does She.
Of course, Kate had cute little snowman containers that she recycled from almond cans- these were used to hold the game candy.
I always love sharing Kate’s creativity and great ideas for making every celebration even better! Thanks for sharing, Kate!

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!
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!”.
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!
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!
