Celebrating a first birthday during the holidays is EXTRA- SPECIAL!  Michelle, of Cakewalk, designed this party for her nephew’s first birthday, but the ideas are wonderful for any holiday celebration!  The yarn trees, sleighing snowman cupcakes, adorable Santa hat truffles, and the yummy hot cocoa bar, make this precious little birthday boy’s party a fabulous Christmas ONEderland!  And, I love the combo of red, green, and gray!

Aren’t those cupcakes adorable?  I love the personalities!  Michelle crafted yarn wreaths and trees to decorate the party- they add just the right feel to the party!

The invitation and paper used throughout the party was also designed by Michelle~

A stack of presents made a perfect cake!

Santa Hat Truffles were perfectly adorable served under a glass dome~

For drinks, Michelle served milk (complete with a milk mustache, of course!)…

 

I love the felt tied around the bottles~ especially the gray bow tie!

And, there was a Hot Cocoa Bar for the guests to enjoy customizing their own drink~

Aren’t the wrappers around the cups and the whipped topping such a great idea?

There was also customized water…

What a wonderful way to celebrate turning ONE!  Thank you for sharing this sweet celebration with us, Michelle!

A gorgeous party for a gorgeous baby boy!

And, everyone went home with delicious cake pops!

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! 

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!
