I’m a sucker for pastels, and so I am so excited to show-off this very unique Pastel Halloween Party designed by Kristy of The Purple Pug! Who would have thought of putting pastels into Halloween? Kristy, of course! Add in traditional black and a large dose of glitter, and this fresh-take on Halloween shines like no other! Enjoy!
These bat cookies are fabulous! I just love how the unexpected color makes them all the more fun!
Kristy painted mini pumpkins to match the colors~ they were set at each place setting at the table!
Look at the adorable “monsters” on the cupcakes! Kristy handmade each topper using poms and googly eyes~ along with the occasional bow that she added! So creative!
And this idea is such a brilliant way to make monsters out of cotton candy! It’s so easy and SO cute! Simply add eyes to the clear containers and you have fabulous little monsters!
Amazingly clever~ I can only imagine how much fun the kids had choosing their monster!
Kristy decorated in pastels throughout- including this pastel ghost garland! I love the old-school ghosts with a fresh color!
And the serving dish was dressed up to match!
And, loaded with ghostly ice cream sundaes! (The kids added their own toppings.)
Kristy had several games for the kids to play, but one of my favorite activities that she did was a “Baby Bat Adoption”! Oh my goodness, those baby bats are cute hanging upside down waiting on a new home!
I also love how each child was asked to bring a dollar to the “Furry Friend Fund” and the kids donated their funds to the local animal shelter!
The guests were greeted at the front door by this store-bought decoration that Kristy embellished! She says she has had it forever and it just needed a little update- recycling what you have is always a great option for party decorations!!
Everyone was invited to dress-up and join in the fun~ don’t you love the handmade invitations that Kristy made? So cute- with bat ribbons and glitter for a perfect touch!
Enjoying the party with his peeps~ 🙂
So Much Fun- So Many Unique Touches- So Adorably Cute!! I just love this party and all of the creative ideas! There are EVEN MORE ideas and fabulous photos for you to see- Kristy has lots more to show you! Stop by and see “the rest of the party”! I am honored to share this party, Kristy!! You know how to make things shine!

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!
CAMILLE’S CLUBHOUSE ~ Confectionery, Soda Shoppe, Spa
My daughter had lots of ideas of what she wanted to do to celebrate her 10th birthday! She wanted to have lots of cookies~ and have a soda shoppe ~ and set up a spa for nail painting! With so many ideas, I knew we should come up with something that would tie it all together. And, that is how Camille’s Clubhouse became the theme- the Clubhouse is where you can find lots of her favorite things! We sent invitations with a an insert that had a “password” that had to be unscrambled and brought to the party for “entry”. That was an easy way to get the guests involved before the party even started!
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.
