For a celebration of fun in the Wild West, Kelly from Kelly Allison Photography had the opportunity to capture this Cowboy Party in lavish detail. From the invitations to the yummy treats, every detail of this event flowed with adorable cowboy touches that any kid could love.

The invitations were bold and vintage, with a large classic font that yelled from the paper.  The colors and patterns gave a fantastic effect that was sure to bring the guests to the party.

For the Cowboy Party grub, a great wooden table was used, emphasizing the vintage quality to the party, set against worn out looking panels, the ambience was a vision of perfection for a celebration to remember. Each food was prepared thoughtfully, creating a palate any Cowboy could enjoy while on the wild frontier.  Trail Mix  was set in adorable little paper bags and labeled in a neat fashion. Apple juice boxes were wrapped up in adorable little bags with swirly straws. Cheesy grits were put in little dixie cups with a fork attached with neat plaid ribbon so the cowboys and cowgirls had their silverware. There were even donut holes, a Cowboy classic…..a modern day classic! With sticks attached, even those were mess-free for easy clean-up.  The cupcakes were luscious, chocolate covered in yummy white frosting and gold sprinkles.  Cute little bull cut-outs stood in each, ensuring they went smoothly with the theme.

There was a fun craft table set up for the guests to create their own art with crayons and foam cowboy stickers.  All kinds of activities were set-up to keep the kids happy, from a neat boot pinata to pin-the-mustache-on-the-cowboy.

For the take-home gift, loot bags were made that were screen-printed for a personal touch that was sure to impress.  This party definitely brought a fun twist to the west with cowboy decor to remember.

Amanda from Amanda’s Parties To Go went all out on her son’s Star Wars themed extravaganza, creating detailed decor that was unique and fantastic. For personalized invites she created a brick framed beauty to let everyone know that not only was this a Star Wars party, it was a Star Wars Lego party.

The tablescape was immaculate from the top to bottom with bold colors and fun touches that blended the theme perfectly into the food. Using a blue and silver star printed fabric, the base of the table was fantastic and didn’t take away from any of the fun decor on top. Each treat was named after a fun Star Wars item, like the Yoda Soda that was lime sherbet and Sprite mixed together.  Each one was labelled, so the guests could enjoy the creative little snack titles.  One unique detail that made this table different than others was the use of candle holds as food stands, providing depth and layering in a sophisticated manner.

For the beverage cups, clear plastic ones were brushed with corn syrup and dipped in green pop rocks candy, adding a Sci-fi touch that was certain to impress. The straws were even glow-in-the-dark for a neat way to drink up.

The awesome light saber decorations were DIY’d by Amanda, toys that were painted with that brilliant silver/blue/green paint, then fastened to a wood plaque and painted silver with fun styrofoam embellishments added.  The she surrounded them in tinsel stars for a complete effect.

The cake was superb, a vision of Star Wars Lego perfection that took three days to assemble! It was covered in delicious buttercream frosting that everyone was sure to enjoy eating up. The detailing was wonderful, little figures and the birthday boy’s name surrounded by stars, really making an elite centerpiece for the entire event.

When Heather’s son wanted his birthday party at a laser tag venue, she came up with this unique Army Camo Theme to celebrate in style.

She used a fantastic sign with a giant tank in green and black to let everyone know what the celebration was all about and even bordered it in a cool layered pattern and attached ribbon to hang it up.

For the guest tables, she covered them in a smooth mauve color that allowed the lime green layer on top to stand out remarkably well.  For the center pieces she created a neat sign numbering each table and labelling them “Platoons” for an added camo effect. The signs were placed in lovely vases full of bright colors that blended well with the theme colors.  Each place setting had easy to use and toss green paper plates and camo cups for the kids to utilize. She even folded the napkins and wrapped them in a neat little holder.

One of the creative decorations that she used to add detail to the venue area was a flag banner that had a variety of camo patterns and colors that was draped up and attached with dark ribbon.

A dessert table was set-up with camo-mix for everyone to enjoy that was fantastically draped in camo cloth.  Using giant letters, SIX was spelled out so everyone would know how old the birthday boy was. Directly behind the six was the delicious cake.  It was a two-layer expression of love in Camo colored frosting and had a fun scattering of plastic army men displayed to add to the theme brilliantly. The cake was even topped with a play grenade, making it one-of-a-kind.

Yummy cake pops were made in camo colors to look like little grenades, there were even a variety of sweet candies for the guests to try out.
