A fantastic arrangement of vines were hung from the ceiling, filling the room with life and greenery that even had a ladybug decoration for effect.

As a unique way to display the food, the buffet table was set up to the side of the room and named the, “Sweet Corner.” It was filled to the brim with tasty delights that were sure to keep the kids coming back for more. With a bold blend of colors, the table stood out dramatically. The backdrop was a wonder with a DIY tree decoration that certainly drew in attention.

Another corner was set up with adorable balloons, including an arrangement of balloon animals like rabbits, to keep the kids thoroughly entertained.

The tables were set-up family style for eating and for an innovative option, adorable mushroom stools were used to sit on. They added to the ethereal quality of the room while providing a vibrant touch of color and lifelike decor.

This party also featured a fantastic stage area for a show. With a backdrop brilliantly decorated with all sorts of details and colors, this stage was one to remember forever. A cascade of trees with an owl were placed in the center of the background, creating a foresty look. There was even a wonderful bridge across the front. Seating was available for the kids to enjoy the show from, each chair covered in a colorful fabric that added to the ambiance of the room.

Oh the Places You’ll Go Party

With inspiration from a Dr. Seuss classic, this Oh the Places You’ll Go birthday party was a fantastic display of imagination. Cindy Lee, mother and party planner felt that the book had such a meaningful message, this theme would relay their importance for years to come. Using the vibrant colors that the book displays, purple, yellow, turquoise and some hot pink, the venue for this party was sure to impress. Balloons and stripes were also used to emphasize the fun that this theme portrays.

Oh the Places You'll Go Party main table

The venue chosen for this birthday adventure was at the Pretend City Children’s Museum in Irvine, CA, which is actually a wonderful non-profit educational institution, making it the perfect location for a book themed gathering.

The main table had a yarn focus, used as a symbol for prosperity and long life, giving a special meaning to the fun decor. White manzanita trees with gorgeous yellow buds were made out of mini styrofoam balls and yarn. For a unique touch, styrofoam balls decorated with yarn were used in vases for a fun, colorful display.  Fantastic stands were made out of candlesticks and wooden plaques, which were painted with white acrylic for an adorable DIY addition.

The cake was sweetly put together in two layers of simple white frosting, topped with a custom paperweight doll from that make the perfect topper. The bottom of each layer was wrapped in a blue color, adding a touch of brightness.

With all kinds of other personal additions to this event, it was chock-full of fun for everyone to enjoy!

Jennifer, a mom of adorable little twins came up with an inspirational theme to celebrate their very first birthday. Being Spring babies, a Pinwheel Party offered a sweet way to enjoy the bright colors and fun that this time of year showcases. Along with a team of fantastic experts, this party was a smashing success.

Both indoor and outdoor space was utilized, ensuring win whether the weather cooperated or not! Inside a gorgeous table was set up right in front of a window, allowing the natural light to illuminate the treats beautifully. Set underneath a modern light, the table was able to be decorated from top to bottom. Fantastic tissue poms added depth to the look with their adorable pink and blue colors. The table was covered in a white cloth, adding to the lighthearted environment and each of the treats had fun bright colors to let them attract attention easily.

The snacks were wonderfully created, each going with the theme in color, pattern or shape. Cupcakes were frosted adorably in white and put into a variety of patterned cups to give a neat look. They also had mini-pinwheels attached, ensuring that they blended nicely with the theme. Sugar cookies shaped as pinwheels were frosted in vibrant tones with polka-dots and each was individually wrapped and tied with a sweet, white ribbon.

Under the Sea Birthday Party

Under the Sea Birthday Party

With cascades of blue everywhere, this Under the Sea birthday extravaganza was sensational.  Jesi from Dolce Designs created a world of underwater fun with this adorable theme.

Using the bright daylight to illuminate the venue, a sweet sheer blue, polka-dot curtain was hung to give an elegant under-water effect that was definitely eye-catching.

The food table was set in front of the curtain, and was covered in a sweet, light-blue cloth that assisted in enveloping the room in the sea-like vibe. The snacks were laid out very neatly, making it easy to see what was available to try out, and there was quite a variety to choose from. One fantastic treat was blue jello, placed in adorable little jars that looked like sea-water. Yummy looking starfish sugar cookies were frosted in a light blue and sent on a tray looking like they just came off the beach. Blue macarons were also made, matching the theme perfectly. Cupcakes frosted in white had adorable little sea creature tags and were placed in wonderful marbleized paper wraps for a cool effect. Other tasty options included cake pops donned with swirly straws for easy, clean access  and even some scrumptious looking blue rock candy.

The cake was simple yet adorable with a layer of beautiful white swimming in the sea of blue that made up the entire table. Set on top of an elegant blue vase, this cake had a sweet ribbon wrapped around the bottom and was topped with a banner of blue little fishes, blending with the theme excellently.

The guest table was set up to match the food table splendidly, with each chair also containing a balloon to fill the room with a fun atmosphere. The table was covered in blue and lovely white dishes were used, standing out elegantly.

Pink Crabby Birthday Party

What a bundle of fun this Pink Crabby Preppy Birthday Party turned out to be with its adorable twist on a small favorite sea creature! Jess from Party Box Design went all out, using blue and pink to create an inviting and playful theme for the birthday girl.

The invitations created for this event were full of wonderful details from the elaborate arrangement of various patterns to the sand that was sprinkled on top for a beachy look.

Taking advantage of a lovely day, this party was thrown outdoors, letting the natural light emphasize the sweet color choices. One favorite feature was a fantastic refurbished hutch used to hold some goodies. Painted in white it was adorned with an adorable pink fishing net full of sparkly pink crabs that was perfect for this theme.

A DIY sign was made to add to the decor and it was brilliantly done. Painted white with pink lettering, it stood out gorgeously.

Using the back patio effectively, a sweet pink, polka-dot chair was set out for the birthday girl that even had a matching umbrella and a hat and flipflops set out waiting for little toes!

Wonderfully large tissue poms were perfectly placed to fill the area nicely, ensuring that it was decorated from top to bottom. There was even a sweet bouquet of polka-dot balloons set out to complement the theme wonderfully.

For food, of course steamed crabs were a yummy option for everyone to enjoy, as well as Crabby Ale for a fun addition. Each ale bottle even had a cute personalized label for the guests to enjoy that matched the theme perfectly. The kids got to take home neat little crabby cupcake push pops and crabby cookies and the adults all got some crabby spice, leaving no one left out.
