Flamingos are my latest obsession . I think it's mainly due the fact that it's the perfect summer party theme. And that they're pink, of course! Not sure they'd be such a hit if they were a different color ;) So for our flamingo pool party last weekend , we (my 8 year old daughter and I) made some DIY flamingo table decorations and headbands that double duty as photo booth props!
Flamingo Pool Party Ideas & Printables
Much like pineapples , Flamingos have been trending on the party scene for a couple of years now. And I for one, have been totally itching to style a pink flamingo party FOR EVER! Well, last weekend, we got to do just that. I say “we”, because my little girl and I got to plan it together! :) If you follow my snaps (username BirdsParty) you'll have seen all the party prep and sneak peeks of the party itself!
Party Like a Pineapple | A Tropical 25th Birthday Party
Hey guys, I'm so beyond excited to share with you this party I styled for my younger sister's 25th birthday! As you probably know, pineapples are EVERYWHERE these days, and I've been dying to style a fun themed party using our latest pineapple printables ! So when my little sis came over (from Rio) for her birthday a few weeks ago, we couldn't pass up the chance to party like pineapples ;)
Pink & Yellow Garden Birthday Party Ideas
In my book pink goes with pretty much anything ;) But is particularly pretty, coupled with bright yellow for a seasonal garden party inspired by flowers and butterflies ! I'm also SO over those big, elaborate dessert tables we used to style some years ago. And as much I loved doing them, I think kids birthday parties don't need to be OTT to be charming. A few touches of DIY decor is all I tend to go for these days, and this darling inspiration board is proof that less is more!
DIY Floral Napkin Rings
Mother's Day is on Sunday, and if you're looking for last minute ideas to dress your table, then this DIY is for you! Not only it's super simple to make and dresses up any plain table instantly, but it also uses materials you probably have around the house. AND it double as a pretty gift for mom! ;)
Bee Inspired Birthday Party Ideas
Spring is synonymous with flowers, but also with the humble bumble bee. And it's so heartbreaking to read everywhere that bees are on the verge of extinction :( ( you can read more on this subject here ). But if it's up to us party lovers, bee themed parties and events are here to stay, right?! We ♥ the bumble bees 'round here and this sweet theme is perfect for Spring weddings, showers, luncheons and birthdays of any age!
A Charming Over The Rainbow Birthday Party
With St Patrick's Day around the corner we've been pinning lots of rainbow colored party ideas . And I thought it was the perfect time to re-share one of my fav parties we featured in our last magazine issue ! This charming 'over the rainbow' birthday party has a crafty element to it that will really speak to creative girls and pre-teens!
DIY Monster High Inspired Cake Pops Recipe
This year I'm inspired by all things Monster High for Halloween (mainly 'cause I have a little fan at home...). So much so, that together with some of my fave party and food bloggers; we put together a huge and totally SPOOK-takular spread in the Fall issue of Bird's Party Magazine - with decorated cookies, cake pops, cupcakes and sparkly party ideas inspired by the Monster High vibe!
A Bright & Colorful Summer Party Fiesta
Fiestas are not only reserved for Cinco de Mayo. I personally, would have a fiesta any day of the week. Tacos, pinatas, Margaritas....the lot! So when my friend Gillian sent over her stunning party photos with a fiesta theme and get this, PINATA COOKIES (!!); I actually did a little dance. It's a softer take on the usually bright Mexican inspired theme. It has pastel colors and warm summer hues with a stunning watercolor cake, and I reckon it would be PERFECT for a seasonal wedding, bridal shower, dinner party or girly birthday!
Baby Jam Music Inspired 1st Birthday Party
Ah, so nice to start the week on Tuesday, right?! ;) And to kick things off, we have a super adorable music inspired first birthday party from our contributor Smita . She ALWAYS pulls off stunningly creative parties for her kids with lots of handmade, DIY details; and I'm honored to be a part of it for her little Aashi's first birthday baby jam ! If you're into your crafts and handmade decor, you'll love how totally clever this party is!
Pink & Gold DIY Birthday Party Decor
If you follow the blog for a while, you'll know how much I LOVE paper and handmade party decorations . It's my jam! I'm always asking myself if I can make it first, before I decide to buy... So you can imagine how giddy I was when Brother got in touch asking me to create something fun using their P-touch label maker !! I also did a happy dance when they offered to giveaway one of the machines away here on the blog! :)
The Frozen Disney movie has been a hit with kids worldwide. My daughter is obsessed with Anna and Elsa, and can't stop humming "Let it Go..." :) And so I am super excited to finally jump in the band wagon of the whole Frozen-mania 'round here. Today's party will dazzle and wow you, as it did me! It has lots of DIY decorations, stunning details and clever decor ideas that stay true to this popular Disney film theme, without falling prey to using copyrighted images. And that in my book is super fresh indeed!
