As part of our inspiration week, we couldn't finish without a super fun theme for the boys . Or girls for that matter, 'cause we actually get just as many sweet customers styling it for their birthday girls ! In fact, the theme came about from my own love of science . You probably don't know this, but I used to be an chemical engineer before parties took over my life...anyways, I relished the chance to design something that included a lab coat, molecular structure designs, and the good ol' test tube . Not to mention a nod to the Periodic Table ! :) Here are some party ideas to help inspire your own science-filled Blue and Green Mad Scientist Bash !
Easy DIY Lego Inspired Birthday Cake Bunting

Nicholas' mom had a clear vision of what she wanted for the designs, and we set off to try create an "Up Movie" inspired collection that did not use any copyrighted images! It was no mean feat, but I was really happy with the results. And by the looks of things, so was Nicholas! :) Check out below all the STUNNING party photos - I especially love the travel-themed favors and decor, and that awesome cake and those incredible cake pops!! ♥

Rainbow Jelly Bean Birthday Party Ideas
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!

A SpiderMan Inspired 5th Birthday Party
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!
