MEET THE NEW CHICK

When rustic farm meets whimsical chic, you get an adorable party loaded with charm! Inviting friends to “Meet the New Chick”, Stefani, of La Belle Parties, gave her friends the perfect opportunity to gather for a “sip and see” and to introduce a beautiful new addition to their circle of friends!

There are so many do-it-yourself details in this party~ notice the feathered placemats made by Stefani…

The adorable cupcake toppers by Edible Details provided a whimsical pop of color!

As well as the spunky little chick cookies by Bake Me Pretty~

A simple, wooden plank makes a fantastic rustic runner on the table and lends just the right touch to the country feel~

Stefani used lots of fabric to add to the decorations- she wrapped pieces of fabric around glass jars and filled with wild flowers. Also notice this fantastic table skirt! I love the combination of farm dirt mixed with all of the feminine touches~

Another of Stefani’s do-it-yourself projects included making these grapevine wreaths for the backs of the chairs…

Meet the “New Chick”! Isn’t she precious?

What a fabulous farm-feel party for a fabulous occasion! Thank you for sharing this cute and charming party with us, Stefani!

Any chance I get, I love to share what my friends at Anders Ruff Designs are doing! Maureen and Adria are ALWAYS up to something creative! And so, I bring you another fabulous party design and graphic design by Anders-Ruff! They were kind enough to share their thoughts on what makes a wonderful Thanksgiving table. Their eye for using natural elements and incorporating their fantastic paper designs makes the celebration warm and cozy!

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!
