This lovely birthday party took the Curious George theme and made it personal by changing it to match the birthday boy as a Curious Grant theme. The bold distribution of bright colors gave a life to this venue that was sure to impress.

The event was designed by the talented Esther of My Bride Story, and she left no detail out, ensuring that Curious George was incorporated throughout in a fun way.

The treat table was a blast of adorable red, yellow and blue, each item standing out remarkably, looking quite delicious. The area above the table was decorated with the cutest dangling circles of color, making the theme shine from the ceiling to the floor. The table itself was covered in a light blue cloth, layered beautifully over white for a textured effect. The treats were spread with precision, making each convenient for guests to grab.

One sweet feature at this party was an area set up for fun photos to be taken with a fantastic backdrop, allowing the visiting families to join in on the memory making with their own creative shots.

An outdoor area was set up with a fabulous red couch and ottoman along with a white coffee table and a radio flyer full of delicious beverages, making it easy for everyone to grab a drink.  With blue lanterns draped above, this area was a pure delight.  There was even a special space laid out for the birthday boy with his name beautifully spelled out in the grass and an adorable white bench with throw pillows set behind it.  Pinwheels added a touch of fun to the design. Incorporated throughout the venue area, arrangements of beautiful red flowers were displayed, pulling the look together with a natural element that was brilliantly done.

What little one can resist the awesomeness of a Lego Birthday Party? Crackers Art took this classic theme and made it a personalize adventure for the birthday boy. With an emphasis on the vibrant multitude of colors that Legos is known for, the venue for this party was a spectacular arrangement of fun. Each detail was personalized with Lego tags and adorable Lego features that were sure to impress the kids who got to attend. The treat table was a wonder, perfectly organized and each food was a sweet addition that brought the theme to life.

The cake was a vision of Lego excitement, a number 5 made to look like construction was going on. This innovative idea was certainly an impressive way to give the theme a unique twist.

Sarah’s take on the party:

When I asked my son Harvey what theme he wanted for his 5th birthday party, he jumped at the chance of having a Lego party before his big brother stole the theme for his own party the following month. I was thrilled because I’d been dying to create a Lego-inspired party and I really wanted to put a unique spin on it. I’d seen some fabulous Lego parties on the web, but I wanted ours to reflect everything my boys love about Lego with plenty of in-your-face colour.

I designed all of the party printables and then tied in all of the food into the same colour scheme. There were two separate tables:  the dessert buffet, and a smaller snack table which I directed the kids to when they arrived. They also had a sit-down lunch of hot food and sandwiches before it was time to hit the dessert buffet.

I usually attempt the cake and cookies myself, but this time I enlisted the skills of Lisa from ‘Cakes & Biscuits By Lisa’. I provided Lisa a design for the cookies, and we discussed ideas back and forth about a cake design. The birthday boy’s big brother made the Lego tractor and truck for the cake, so it was lovely to add that personal touch. We left it in Lisa’s capable hands and the cake turned out perfectly and exactly as I’d pictured. Harvey and his friends absolutely loved it!

For party games we had a ‘Draw Your Own Lego Character’ colouring competition, a ‘Pin the Brick in the Wall’ game (our Lego version of ‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’), free-range Lego on the lounge room rug, and some Lego tower-building races. I also created the graphics for the games myself, which I kept simple and effective. The party guests took home small treat bags of candy, wrapped chocolate bars, and a big smile 🙂 .

To celebrate a milestone 1 year birthday for adorable twin boys, mom-to-be wanted colors and fun, so a Let’s Fiesta theme was the perfect way to go.

Using a fantastic mix of bright shades of yellow, green, blue, and orange, the venue area was an absolute delight. The serving table was a delicious centerpiece to the room and with a bold, black backdrop it was also very unique. Bright paper medallions made a neat accent to the whole look. A cute little chalkboard menu was also created and placed on the table, making it a breeze for everyone to know what the tasty choices were. The centerpiece on the table was a vibrantly colored pinata that the kids got to beat-up later and get some sweet candies from.

Aside from safe goodies for the little ones like applesauce pouches and cheddar bunnies, the food was very Mexican oriented, to bring the theme to life. There were three types of salsa, ensuring something yummy for everyone, rustic roasted, roasted tomatillo and corn. Also made were tasty baked chicken taquitos, baked tex-mex pimento cheese dip, fruit salad, and an entire guacamole bar with all sorts of toppings and mixes.

For a safe method of distribution, tortilla chips were placed in brown lunch bags so each guest could have some that little fingers hadn’t been grabbing already.

Of course if you have a Fiesta, you have to have a scrumptious margarita, so an entire station was set-up for everyone to enjoy. Of course, for the young ones and adults who don’t like the margaritas, a variety of other beverages were offered like water, lemonade, and Corona.

The take home gifts were adorable rubber duckies that had been dressed up as a mariachi band, creating a memento that fit the theme in a creative and entertaining way.
