With Rainbow Loom jewelry being all the rage in my daughter’s age-group, I thought it would be fun to share some easy Valentine’s Day and birthday party ideas with you using rainbows, friends, and a little service-project! We decided to spread the love this Valentine’s Day and make Rainbow Loom jewelry for children in our area that may not have access to these wildly popular looms. We invited some friends over, made jewelry, and enjoyed Valentine treats. Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to spread a little love- but actually this idea can be used any time of the year!
Anders Ruff designed the adorable party stationery that I used on the dessert table and for the favor tags. I love the combination of the Rainbow and the hearts. This collection is perfect for Valentine’s Day and also full of inspiration for birthday party ideas!
The girls worked on making bracelets, rings, and necklaces when they first arrived. When it was time for a break, they were excited to try the FUN-DIP CUPCAKES that I made for them using a recipe from Smart School House.
The FUN-DIP Cupcakes were a BIG, BIG hit! They loved finding the FUN DIP inside of the cupcake!
I also made melted chocolate pretzel hearts- these have become a family favorite! I found the candy eyes and mouths at Target and used heart-shaped sprinkles to add a rainbow of color for the noses!
The guests were welcome to take home a cupcake in their little favor boxes or bags. I made some cupcakes without FUN DIP and used white icing and conversation hearts to dress them up! They were easy to make and made the perfect little take-home gift~
YOU’RE A RAINBOW OF FUN! THE PERFECT WAY TO CONVEY YOUR THANKS!
The best part and the main purpose of the get-toether was to make and share Rainbow Loom jewelry with others! We chose to share the love through a program at our church that feeds underprivileged families and homeless- there are 30-40 chidren that come each week. Other ideas would be hospitals, doctors’ offices, and maybe even nursing homes. I think it is important for kids to be a part of helping and spreading love and this party was truly a RAINBOW OF FUN!
The Rainbow Loom theme also makes for great birthday party ideas! You can find the collection of Rainbow-Loom-Inspired party printables at Anders Ruff Custom Designs!

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!
