What an adventurous and fabulous party! I love these birthday party ideas from Patty at Sweet Treat Stands- a rustic and wonderful shindig celebrating her son’s first birthday. His name is Sawyer and so a “Tom Sawyer” theme was just fitting to celebrate the adventures of the first year! You will love the ideas for your fun-loving birthday boy or girl~ there’s nothing like a bit of nostalgia with a classic theme to help you re-live your childhood while celebrating the beginning of another! Enjoy!
Patty made the denim table cloth out of old blue jeans. She also crafted the grapevine wreath, bought Mason jars customized to match the rustic vibe of the party, and put them together to create a chandelier!
The jars were also used on the table to hold utensils…
Patty also made the banner that she hung from a bamboo stick. The banner is made of burlap, denim rosettes, Mason jar lids, and paper. I love how it turned out!
The sweet treats were also a delight! A gorgeous and boyish cake depicted Tom Sawyer in overalls on his raft- surrounded by cat tails, grass, and insects. It is a fabulous design- and there were cupcakes to go with the theme, too!
What a fabulous party! Thank you for sharing your birthday party ideas with us, Patty! I love this theme and how cute it is for an adventurous boy or girl! With so many talented vendors listed below, be sure to check out these fabulous shops that contributed to the fun of this party!

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!”.
