Invite your friends and neighbors over for some summertime fun with a MOO-vie Night right in your backyard! I had the pleasure of working with sweet mom, Beth, on an end-of-the-school-year party for her 4-year-old son and his classmates and teachers! We brainstormed a few ideas and decided the COW theme was a perfect fit for moo-vies and the fact that the little host’s favorite color is black! It was MOO-velous to see them all having such a great time!
I sent Beth some ideas for party favors and she loved them ALL! So, we decided to set up a favor table and let the children have one of each. These party favors are so cute- I highly recommend each of the shops as they all are run so well with wonderful products and service!
The Milk Cartons, by The SonShine Company, were customized in the cutest ways- they even had cow tails! We filled the cartons with candy Cow Tales, chocolate milk straws, and other treats and put each name on the straws~
The side of the carton was customized with the “family farm name” and date. Don’t you love those tails? The front of the carton wished the guests a “Moo-velous” Summer!
The favor table also included white chocolate cow lollipops from Suckers by Steph. These were perfect and looked so cute in the hay bales~
The children also had their choice of lollipops covered in the cutest packaging! Simple Tastes designed and assembled these lollies with cows on the front and a customized tag on the back!
The children could put them all in their gingham bags or their milk cartons. There was a lot of excitement at the favor table!!
The children and their families spread out the blankets and enjoyed a dinner on the lawn before the movie. The children also enjoyed a lot of running around and playing in the yard! They all settled in for the Moo-vie with a movie bag made just for them!
I found a shop that makes these bags in white, but she was unable to take orders within the time frame that we needed. I made these cow bags based on the design in her shop but used brown bags instead.
Washi tape held the tag on and the bags together. Inside the bags were boxes of candy just like you would find at a movie theater (each family received a bag, not each child). And, popcorn was served from an old-fashioned popcorn popper!
It was a beautiful and fun night to share with friends! I was thrilled to be a part of it!

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!”.
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!
