See More Kentucky Derby Party Ideas here. When scouring the internet for Kentucky Derby Party Ideas , I came across this gorgeous photo of Kate Bosworth in vintage attire, and it ended up dictating the mood of my pin board. Grown-up, sophisticated and exuding  "Kentucky Derby Charm" ;) Check out the fun and fabulous links below, to help you style and celebrate for this fun event...

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!

Happy Monday everyone! We have some really cool posts for your this week, and starting the fun is our Jenny from Craft That Party .

Check out the details as told by Jenny below:

Crissy from Crissy's Crafts styled this fun and original party for the Investiture and Re-Dedication Ceremony party for her daughter and friends.  I LOVED designing the printables for this 'girl power' party, and you can now download them for FREE (includes editable invitations and templates!)

Hi this is Dorangela from Two Prince Bakery Theater , excited to be here with you today! My darling boy turned 5 recently and he has a slight obsession with Spider-Man, so there was no question what theme his party would have to be! Not only did we have a theme, we also knew it would have to be completely gluten free in order for both of my boys to be able to enjoy it all! I am not one to throw parties that are too character based, as in using all character plates etc., so I decided to do a vintage feel. I was lucky enough to get Bird's Party Spider Hero Printables which worked perfectly. I love the primary colors and vintage feel!

This super cool Penguin Birthday Party (pun intended..) was styled by our fabulous contributor Mindy from Creative Juice for Bird's Party Magazine Winter 2011 .  Mindy used Bird's Party penguin frozen Printables and create a really rather fabulous "igloo" inspired desserts table, and I think the cute details she incorporated made the party really soft and delicate, showing just how versatile the theme can be for any child's winter birthday - Boy or Girl! Check out all the amazing details, and party styling tips from Mindy below...

This SUPER fun, colorful and whimsical  Lorax Inspired Birthday Party was styled by our incredibly talented contributor, Smita from The Party Wall . I love working with Smita to come up with printable designs, as she really thinks 'outside the box' in any party she styles, and this one has so many incredible details!! Especially when you realize they were mostly handmade by Smita herself, despite her being a full time lawyer!  :) Check out the stunning details she created for her little Sohan's 5th birthday party...

Oh, how we do have some very talented customers!! The creativity out there never ceases to amaze and inspire me, and it's so much so in the case of this Mickey Inspired Party ! You may have seen little snippets of it in Bird's Party Magazine Holiday 2012 Issue in our STYLED BY YOU section, but it's just too good to keep to myself, so I'm sharing some more unseen photos of the fabulous eye candy from this Mickey Birthday Bash , styled by the amazing Ana Carolina for her little  Jorge Arthur's 2nd birthday!

One of the best parts of being a printable designer is getting to see all the fabulousness that your designs and printable help to create in your customer's lives! Sounds very cliche but really; there's no better feeling than knowing that you were a tiny part of a child's special day - Makes me all fuzzy inside! :)

I love thinking of fun, unique ideas and twists on popular birthday themes, and it was no different for my  children this year - We always have a joint party as they were born on the same day but two years part, and the  Barnyard Farm Theme  was a perfect solution for their 5th and 7th birthday celebrations! I did snap loads of pics a usual, but below's a taster of the day...Oh, and because I made a lot of the stuff by hand, there'll be some tutorials coming all this week! :)

My dear, sweet friend Marcie Lenick from Celebrating The Moments , is the talent behind the concept and styling of this fabulous, autumnal birthday party!  Marcie asked me to add a dash of orange to the pink Princess Party Collection I already had, and create a Pumpkin Princess Printable Kit for a fabulous Fall Birthday Tea Party she was styling for a client. I love the theme and colors for a Fall birthday, and Marcie kindly agreed to share her photos and party details below - Hope you feel inspired by all the fabulousness! :)

There's no better way to get back into the blogging routine than with a full blown party that's packed with eye candy, right?!!  I know most schools have already started, but this first class Back to School Party styled by Jenifer Banner from Banner Events is soooo beyond incredible that I'm sure you won't mind seeing it now! Plus, I have  re-designed the printables as our  "Little Aviator" Birthday Collection  now available in the shop! ;) I say birthday, but we can also personalize it for weddings and baby showers too.

Today's Nautical themed Birthday Party was sent in by our cool (and totally adorable) customers all the way from Sydney, Australia!
