Wow! Party mom, Mariana of Yum Events in Argentina, put together quite a fiesta for her daughter’s first birthday! What I love the most is that Mariana did it all herself! She poured her time, energy, and lots of love into making this celebration a true reflection of their joy over their sweet little birthday girl!
Mariana made the ALL of the decorations, ALL of the desserts, a pinata shaped like a 1 (using a cardboard box), the party hats, the table runners, and the photo booth props! She planned games indoors and outdoors and kept the party jumping with a giant bouncy castle!
I love the ribbons that Mariana hung around the drink station~
The dessert table was a huge hit! Mariana made a pink cake with three layers of buttercream, dulce de leche, and more buttercream! Other sweets on the table: macarons, lemon glitter cookies, chocolate mousse shots, mini lemon pies, chocolate truffles, vanilla cupcakes, dulce de leche cookie sandwiches and personalized candy bars, lollipops, giant gum balls and caramel popcorn.
Mariana made the backdrop using grey dot fabric and a tassel banner~
Mriana made each table runner- I love her placement of them across the table. The party hats were handmade by Mariana, too!
The happy Birthday Girl in front of the photo booth~ I think her face is so cute when she sees her family with their props!
There were so many cute props- from mustaches to bows and arrows! The guests had a ball being silly!
They also enjoyed treat bags filled with goodies…
What a sweet and beautiful party! Thank you for sharing this fun day with us, Mariana! You amaze me with your creative talents!

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!”.

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.
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!
