RED WAGON PARTY

This charming Red Wagon Party was handcrafted by the birthday boy’s mom- with the exception of the cake (it was made by a talented friend), everything was made, decorated, and orchestrated by Kristy for her son’s first birthday! I like how Kristy hung the birthday boy’s initial as a focal point over the table!

The picnic tables looked darling with the red wagon centerpieces and pinwheels! Handmade pinwheels are always fun for a party because you can choose your colors and paper patterns!

One of my favorite details of this party is the photo banner that Kristy created as a timeline of the year. Notice how each photo shows her son wearing an outfit with a number on it to coordinate with his age in months…

Kristy used red wagons for drinks- and coordinated the adult beverages to match!

The cake is always exciting, as it is often a child’s first taste of cake! I’d say Warner was delighted!

What a sweet party and sweet family! A perfect day for a party and a perfect theme for a first birthday!

Happy Birthday, Warner! Thank you for sharing your party ideas, Kristy! Your son’s party is adorable!

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!”.
