Whether or not the sun is shining outside, a beach party can bring the love of summer anytime of the year!  This Beach Party is a perfect example of creativity that was beautifully designed by A Casa da Experiementacao de Ideias.

The room used was brilliantly arranged to bring out the best of the summer decor that was used.  With a bold blast of bright colors, this room was very eye catching.  The snack area was set up in a unique fashion, ensuring that it would draw guests in easily.

A backdrop was created with a fantastic wavy pattern in varying shades of blue, giving a beach effect that introduced the theme nicely.  Large inflatable tubes were hung across the backdrop in bright yellow, with the birthday boy’s name spelled out in the center of each, making an innovative bit of decor.

In front of the backdrop rather than the conventional single buffet table, two rectangular tables in bright blue and yellow tones were set together to give a fuller effect.  Even the floor was decorated in lovely wooden mats that gave a sandy look.  

In front of the table a cute little flag banner was hung with adorable clip art pictures of beach favorites like sandals and a beach ball.  The tables were filled with delightful bits of decor including pails of sunflowers , and framed art that gave a personalized look.

A yummy two layer beach cake made a wonderful centerpiece to the snack table with a sun as a topper.  

Some other inspiring additions to this sunny theme included a stand of beach bags for all the guests to use, in bold prints that everyone could enjoy.  A wagon of goodies stood in front of the snack table with a sweet little sign saying, “Love” in front of it.  There was even a large bouquet of fun octopus’ in a rainbow of colors to the side of the tables.

Christmas time always brings a cozy feeling to most hearts and celebrating birthdays are even more special during this season of giving! Camp Perri created this fantastic Woodland Christmas Birthday Party.

A wonderfully large venue was chosen for the event and specially designed to cater to youth with an assortment of unique decorations that were certain to impress them.  Adorable little tables were set up in rows that were the perfect size for little ones to sit at.  Made of wood, the tables and chairs all blended with the theme perfectly.  To emphasize the theme on each table, cute little diy pine trees were set in cotton for a snowy look, making a fun centerpiece.  Little wild animals were laid out across the center of each table to give a natural look, of course each was decked out in holiday fashion of course. Cups for the children to drink from were made to look like little deer, and the plates and napkins matched as well.

Some neat touches that made this party one of a kind included a teepee in one corner that was decorated with garland, a wreath and large bouquets of lovely holiday florals. A pillow was set up inside for a full effect.

No winter party is complete without a cocoa station and this one was perfect.  A wooden stand with a chalkboard at the top advertised the delicious coca in smooth style. On one side poinsettias added a bright look and on the other trees and snow added to the winter vibe.

To make the kids feel special at this celebration, personalized aprons were made for each of them with gingerbread men and women, giving them something they could enjoy using for a long time to come.  For an extra boost of entertainment, there was even a craft section set up for the kids to make their own fun art.

A Ballet theme can be perfect for any little dancer to celebrate all sorts of occasions from birthdays to upcoming performances. This sparkly Nutcracker Ballet inspired party is a lovely example designed and styled  by Cristina and Maggie of Via Blossom.

Pink, gold red and blue blended seamlessly throughout this venue, giving a soft and elegant appeal that was sure to please. A large table was displayed with the tasty snacks that was marvelously decorated.  A backdrop of snowflakes was used that matched the table cover, giving that winter vibe in a sweet way.  A beautiful pink velvety curtain turned this table into a theater stage to remember, diy’d to perfection.

The decorations on the table gave it a personality that definitely set the tone for the whole party.  A range of cute, colorful Christmas trees were set on each side, ensuring a wintery feeling.  Sweet little nutcrackers stood at attention by the trees in various sizes for a fantastic effect.

Treats looked divine on fantastic vintage style trays, cupcakes in golden wraps drew the eye while a magnificent cake stood tall in the center, topped with lollipops in vibrant colors. There were even yummy looking pink Christmas Tree kabobs were provided, giving a wonderful wintery treat.

Invitations were fabulously made for this party in a unique fashion.  Using a gorgeous photo of a ballerina, they had a personalized look that made them very memorable.

The guest tables were marvelous with golden chairs and a golden sparkle runner on each table, giving a bright and elegant touch.  A fun spread of nutcrackers greeted guests as they sat and a centerpiece of yummy cupcakes was used to add to the detailing splendidly.  Each place setting had a cute nutcracker plate and sparkly gold star napkin as well.

This adorable party was for a 7 year old who just loves Elsa.  So of course a Frozen theme was a perfect option for celebrating with her friends. The mom, Aimee, had her work cut out as the venue used for the party was small and the guest list was pretty big.  Utilizing the space effectively helped to create a cozy and comfortable place for everyone to mingle together, ensuring a successful party.

The party was for kids so of course treats were a big part of the celebration, and there were plenty to choose from.  Homemade cupcakes were frosted in a variety of colors, pink, white and blue, letting the children choose their own favorite tone.  Massive marshmallows were dipped in sugar crystals for an icy and delicious snack.  Sugar cookies, m&m cookies, and chocolate chip cookies were provided to give lots of options for the little ones.

A delicious homemade funfetti bundt cake was displayed on an island covered in Frozen themed look, and frosted in white giving a snowy effect.

The table for the party was decked out in elegant blue lace that gave an icy look and all the trays used were crystal, blending with the Frozen theme smoothly.  For a backdrop, Elsa and Ana both took up lots of wall space, standing out with bright colors and detail. A stuffed Olaf stood on the corner of the table too, adding to the decor adorably.

A section was set-up for the gifts that was gorgeously decorated with tulle and large snowflakes, filling the room with a Frozen vibe.  

No kids party is complete without fun party activities and this one had plenty to keep them busy.  A craft table was set out so they could decorate their own Olaf in a contest to see who could make him look just like the movie.  Along with pin the nose on Olaf with a DIY Olaf poster, some exciting limbo, and of course an Elsa pinata, this party had a variety of activities that kids were sure to remember.
