I love that Kokeshi dolls are Japanese Friendship Dolls- what a perfect theme for a birthday party with your girl friends! Gayle, of I Will Invitations, hosted this lovely party for her daughter and themed the party around the darling Kokeshi dolls…
Paper fans, cherry blossoms, and butterflies complimented the kokeshi dolls…
Gayle fed the guests a full asian-inspired meal and treated everyone to sweet treats displayed and packaged in such a dainty way!
The tiny bamboo steamers were just the right size for fortune cookies~
Beautiful butterfly cookies…
I love the water bottle wrappers~ the ingredients are so cute!
The children played many games and also painted wooden kokeshi dolls!
Party favors included a treat bag full of themed goodies with a topper designed by Gayle!
And, chocolate bars wrapped in these adorable candy bar wrappers also made by I Will Invitations…
What a beautiful and unique birthday party! I love the special touches that Gayle added throughout the party to make the guests feel as though they were playing among the cherry trees of Japan!
Just lovely, Gayle! Thank you for sharing!

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!”.
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!
