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.

Birthday Party Ideas for Twins

Laurie of Feather and Fray always has gorgeous work to show, and this Little Bird themed 2nd birthday party is no exception. Her eye for elegance and sophistication showed through fantastically in every aspect of this sweet event.

Emphasis was placed on a lovely melon shade that really accented the room beautifully. For a backdrop on the dessert table a window was used, offering bright natural lighting which is always a plus. For a soft effect a beautiful mash-up of fabric strips were patterned together over the window. With a range of patterns, textures along with white and melon colors, this backdrop was exquisite. Feathers were spread throughout the ribbons as well, giving it a sweet finishing touch.

The table was covered with a vintage lace cloth, giving the image elegance that was detailed and lush. Using gorgeous arrangements of light colored flowers, the table had a natural element that went smoothly with the Little Bird theme. Each food was placed with precision that ensured ease of use for every guest as they lined up. With varying levels of trays, the food was excellently displayed and a breeze to access.

All of the dishes used for holding the snacks were a bright white, so the colors of the food really stood out vibrantly. The only dish that was not white was for the birthday girl. In the soft themed color, this tray displayed a single decadent cupcake with two little candles that any little one could love.

The large cake was a tasty centerpiece all by itself with immaculate detailing that was sure to give a lasting memory to the guests. With one giant layer frosted in yummy white, this cake was simple and elegant. It was topped with a lovely setting of melon and white flowers, edible, that made a wonderful finishing touch.
