What a sweet way to capture the fun, happiness, and love that two best friends share~ especially when one friend is moving far away!  Mom Jennifer came up with this lovely send-off for her daughter’s friend using her resources from her own shop, Discarded Couture.  I love to see how different families use what is at their fingertips to make special days for each other. What I also REALLY LOVE is that these gorgeous photos were taken by Jennifer’s 11-year-old daughter!  Creativity may just run in this family!

Jennifer invited Erin Bradley to treat the girls to hair and make-up to go along with the dress up clothes from Jennifer’s shop.  It is fabulous to see how big sister Loganne captured the day in photos for her little sister!

They played dress-up and designed fashion-plate sketches…

Wardrobe changes…

And, a funky frame for posing!

There was even a funny little fairy to find…FAIRY IS THIS WAY…

AN UNEXPECTED FAIRY, I would say!  I bet that made for a good giggle!  Nothing like a fairy dragon! 🙂

Such a creative way to hold on to memories of friendships and childhood!  Jennifer also had hand-embellished favor bags for the girls (and the big-sister photographer)~

Such sweetness!  Thank you for sharing this great idea with us, Jennifer!  I enjoyed seeing the talents in your family!

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!

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!
