For a little boy who is turning eight and loves football, what could be better than a Tailg8 Party? Crafty and clever Brittany, of Grey Grey Designs, designed this party for a client, and she packed it with ideas that you can use to style a fantastic football party, too! From chenille letters to mimic football jackets to astroturf and grass details– with treats and games galore…this party is definitely a game winner!
Brittany wanted to incorporate a varsity feel with a vintage touch- and notice how turf and grass peek out of the displays…
The “old-school” colors of the paper cones held “Coin Toss Chocolates”– what a great idea!
Old-fashioned pies served in football shaped served up another touch of vintage…
There were lots of fabulous savory selections for this party, too! We all know how football players need their energy!
The guests could take a halftime break at tables the were perfectly set for football fun!
Brittany made so many great signs for each station set-up. An astro-turf football field backdrop for the food table, a Tailg8 sign, and a scoreboard for the favor table.
Using chenille letters for the backdrop and painted wooden letters also gave the party mom something to re-use in the birthday boy’s room~ and how fun is the scoreboard that was handmade by Brittany?
Each child was given a muslin bag to use to choose favors from the favor station- I just love the vintage football image on the tag!
What a touchdown of a party! Be sure to stop by GreyGrey Designs to see more action-packed fun from this Tailg8 Party! There were games and food galore! Thank you for sharing this party, Brittany!

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.
