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.

There are few themes as elegant and sophisticated as a Chanel Themed Birthday Party and this one was a prime example of the limitless options you have in creating a lovely and memorable celebration. The fantastic Dulce Cupcakery provided this outstanding event for the birthday girl to enjoy.

One major detail that helped to create the sophisticated nature of this party was the use of long draping material as backdrops to the various snack stations. The full length of these fabrics set a soft and elegant tone to the soiree. Behind the treat table a long white one was actually draped to the side, giving a neat look. Gigantic, gorgeous artificial flowers were used in coordination with the fabric to fill out the back to perfection.  A spread of pink and white ones were used to decorate the side of the table that the fabric was not covering.  Directly in front of that table a massive chandelier hung, long crystals adding to the theme perfectly.  

The table was covered in a black, textured fabric that added a dramatic touch to the room while blending with the theme smoothly.  A giant flower that matched the backdrop was set on the ground in front ot bring the whole look together.  All of the lovely decorations and edibles were layered to make everything easy to see and grab.  With all of the different sizes, a full style was created that really drew the eye.

All sorts of fun vintage, elegant touches were used to add to the Chanel look of this party from the white ornate frames to the cake trays that were framed in white detailing.  All of the treats were designed to go with the pink, white and black colors of the the theme and looked quite tasty.

Mimi’s Dollhouse put on quite the extravaganza with this wonderful Curious Emma’s Monkey Party.  With a wide arrangement of printable decorations, it had a personal touch that really made it unique.

One fabulous idea used were monkey stuffed animals as thank you gifts for all of the attendee’s, giving them a long lasting memory of this celebration.  With adorable little thank you cards around each tied with a pink and white polka dot ribbon, they were the perfect present for this party. To make it even more sweet, all of the monkeys were placed in a bright blue basket and had a sign saying, “Adopt a Monkey” with little certificates for everyone to fill out.

The treats created for the party were outstanding.  Each was labeled with a personalized sign that matched the theme perfectly.  One tasty option were sugar cookies shaped and frosted like bananas. They were placed on a tray with blue beads for an elegant approach. Directly behind them on the snack table wonderful cake pops were displayed for all to try out in banana shapes of fun.  There were even chocolate covered oreos, adding a new twist to a classic treat.

The cake was a perfectly done blast of monkey fun from top to bottom.  Frosted in a wonderful pink ribbon-like style, this two layer wonder was sure to impress.  It had Emma spelled out in bright yellow letters and an adorable mini flag banner on top.  For a final neat effect, the bottom was surrounded with crimped yellow paper pieces.

The table itself was a smashing success, covered in a layered soft pink cloth, all of the treats stood out on top wonderfully. A tassel banner was strung across the front and a fun sign made an exciting backdrop saying, “Go Bananas.”
