  For my kids Barnyard Birthday Party last year, I wanted to make retro, child toy horse  photo props, which doubled as party games and favors too! Though I live in the country near lots of farms, not all of us can afford real stallions...So this wooden version using paper printables, was a quite a fun alternative - Not to mention quick to make!

I'm an advocate for hand-made, and don't care who knows it. BUT I also don't have a lot of time and like any working mom, budget is always at the forefront of my party planning. And last year for my kid's joint Barnyard Birthday it was no different. I baked, crafted and handmade a lot of the details, including these Apple Cake Pops and mini " Farm Orchard" Centerpiece display for the pops...

I ( Mindy ) live in northern California and one of our family’s favorite outings is to the jelly belly factory ! Aubrey was so excited about this theme for her party {and so was her brother ... my little guy has lots of allergies and jelly belly beans are vegan and safe for him to enjoy too} and since Aubrey’s birthday occurred in the middle of writing my book, I relied quite a bit on the incredible vendors (listed at the end) to help make her day special!  I also relied on a simple color scheme: Rainbow ! The Jelly Bean Printables were designed by Bird’s Party   - the jelly bean and striped patterns were exactly what I was looking for – and they were just perfect!

As you know, I've been guest posting for GigMasters.com since January and yesterday I posted some some fun ideas on how to set up your own popcorn bar for an  Oscars Viewing Party! A Popcorn bar offers not only a fun and unique way to cater for your guests, but it’s also super easy and inexpensive! Now, pairing up  popcorn with champagne  can be a fun way to elevate the ensemble, and make it worthy of a red-carpet event.

Today we're sharing some of the fabulous photos as styled and photographed by our contributor Mindy . She used Bird's Party Glam Baby Shower printables to create a stunning and super creative desserts table for a friend's baby shower! I especially love the post-it note backdrop and that gorgeous giant frame decorating the front of the table - So easy to re-create and both pack a huge wow factor! Details below as told by Mindy:

For all procrastinating lovers out there. You know how you are  ;) These DIY ideas couldn't be easier, right?! Hoping you all have a wonderful ♥  day! I've got a lunch date with hubby later on. Hmmm, wonder if we can stop by the craft store on the way back....

I (Mindy) love valentines day. I  love macarons. I  love sprinkles .   So naturally these Valentine's day macarons had to be! This idea kinda has me all over it :)  If you have made macarons before then this tutorial is an easy way to kick them up a notch! 

There's still time to pull off a cute Valentine's Day party - Get inspired by this really fun School Valentine's Party from one of our readers!  Hi everyone! My name is Jen from the party blog Sweeten Your Day Events . I am so excited to be guest posting here on Bird's Party Blog and today I am going to be featuring a Valentine's party I put together for my son's first grade classroom using  Bird's Party Printables . 

Happy Mardi Gras everyone!! :) Even though I live miles away from my native country of Brazil, we celebrated CARNAVAL  (that's what it's called in Brazil) this past weekend with a lot of confetti, samba, Caipirinha, barbecue and Brazilian sweets.

Only 2 says to go, but these super sweet and totally adorable party favor ideas or gifts, are very quick to put together. Just grab some candy tubes or boxes + your Valentine's fave candies or Hershey's Kisses + cute party printables , and you're off! ;)

Diamonds, move over! Marshmallows are the new  girl's best friend ! :) We all know and love gumball necklaces, right? But I'm a little bit of a rebel, so decided to use marshmallows instead - OK, not much of a rebellion going on, but they are just as cute and as tasty.  Not to mention easy to make! And of course you can use or add other candies too, and start a little rebellion all of you own! Check out the steps below...

My husband is not a sweet kinda guy. I'm mean, he's very sweet as a husband, he just doesn't like eating sweet things. So my baking cookies or cakes on Valentine's Day is wasted on him. This is why handmade, cute, scented, sparkly, heart-shaped LOVE soap is the perfect DIY gift for him! But if the words handmade soap  sound scary, then fear not - I'm using 'Melt and Pour' Soap base, so it's super quick and easy! ;)

This one is ideal for the boys and for classroom Valentine's - Simply print, cut and staple to a bag of cute leaping frogs, for a non-candy Valentine's Gift! Keep reading to download your FREE printables.

Call me (Christine, Pure Joy Events) old school, but I heart Post-It Notes. I use them to jot down notes, set reminders, bookmark pages, and label just about anything. When I came across this picture on Pinterest , I couldn't wait for the opportunity to make an eye-catching backdrop from the world's favorite sticky notes.

Welcome back, friends! Continuing on our journey towards master cake maker and decorating genius - Today is Class 2 and we will go over some Baking Basics . Now that we know what tools to use, let's use them to mix up some quality ingredients to make something delicious.

Today it's all about baking! And what better way to celebrate our love of sweet things, than with these gorgeous heart shaped Valentine's cookies from Haniela's ?! And Hani baked them especially to match Bird's Party NEW Modern Valentine's Day Printables !! How cool is that?! :) Perfect for weddings and bridal showers too!

I made these cake pops for my Modern Valentine's Party . This my attempt to make the simple cake balls look cute with the addition of some pink hearts. Anything looks better with pink hearts on, right?! :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the "Valentine Grinch", but I can't help but be a little tired of all the red and pink decorations out there...So this year, I decided to go out on a limb and try a different color palette for my Valentine's Party - Fuchsia, Teal and Yellow. What do you think? :) This party also has lots of home-made elements as I baked, styled and crafted...this theme would be perfect for a low-key wedding or bridal shower too!

A collection of our fave Super Bowl Party Printable FREEBIES out there - Hope you enjoy and have a fun day tomorrow! GO TEAM!! :)
