Cris, of Crissy’s Crafts, put together this fun-loving, laid-back, beachy-keen shindig for her husband to celebrate Father’s Day!  Having grown-up by the beach, Cris and her husband both share a love for all things beach- which makes inspiration for this celebration a natural choice!  

Cris’ husband is not a big sweets-eater, and so she put a lot of emphasis on savory treats for him to enjoy- such as this cute crabwich!

I love how Cris used beach fencing as part of her display to add to the beach feel!

Cris also served Dad his favorite beach drink~ and offered cold lemonade for the children!

The sweet treats that Cris DID make for her family’s Father’s Day Celebration couldn’t be more sea-worthy!

Pearl Bite Cookies are adorable (recipe from Family Fun)~

Along with sandy Starfish S’mores…

And, the Pearl Cake Bites are so elegantly served…

I also love how Cris used shell buttons to embellish the sandy-brown favor boxes~

I can’t think of a better way to remember this fun Father’s Day Celebration…this gift is truly Beachy Keen!

Thank you for sharing your fabulous party, Cris!

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!
