Having to spend a lot of time at home these days, means that quality moments with our loved ones are more than ever, a comfort as well as a blessing! As a someone who blogs about parties and entertaining, I find that at times like these, it's even more important to find beauty, creativity and make even the smallest occasion, a special one to celebrate. So I thought I'd share some easy ideas to help you style a girls' movie night in!
Thank you Alex Toys for sponsoring this post. If you follow the blog, you probably already know how much my little girl loves crafting. She has even started sharing a few of her favorite DIY craft ideas and projects in our Kids' Crafts blog segments! ( You can see them all here ). For her birthday last month, we planned a craft party at home with lots of fun DIY stations like sewing, slime-making, and jewelry crafts. She loved this birthday theme so much, and the kids had tons of fun getting creative and crafting together! Plus, it was a really relaxed and easy party to set up, so I thought I'd re-create some of our party ideas to share with you guys today!

Movie Night Party Ideas in Pink, Gold and Black
The Oscars is 'round the corner so I thought it would be the perfect time to share our latest Movie Party printable collection with you! I set up a popcorn and champagne bar in pink, gold and black to showcase the goodies in a glam fashion fit for awards' season, but also to move away slightly from the traditional red and black styling we see often. But, you can still find these same printable design used in this post in red and black in our shop! It's nice to have a choice, right? 😉
A Back to School Pancake Bar

A pancake bar is such a fun and easy way to serve breakfast or brunch for any event, whether you're planning a baby shower, bridal event, or a simple back to school celebration at home with your kids!
These easy summer beach cupcakes not only look super adorable, but they taste like summer in your mouth with their delicious pina colada inspired frosting. Sooo good, you guys!

A Summer Backyard Camping Party with Free Printables
“This post is sponsored by Sony Pictures in connection with the release of Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. ” During the summer months I'm always on a lookout for easy ideas to keep my kids (and the whole family) busy and entertained. Are you the same? Even if we plan a vacation trip somewhere, there are those days where I find it quite challenging planning and coming up with a new bucket-list of exciting and fun family adventure to embark upon. This is why I'm so excited to kick off our summer this year with a movie + backyard camping party for my whole gang!
DIY Paper Flower Cake Toppers
Paper anything is my jam. But paper flowers are my particular favorites! I mean, you take a fairly simple, banal, flat piece of paper and fashion it into something 3-D, beautiful and super practical. What's not to love?! And did I mention they're so easy to craft? Yep, despite their intricate looks, they're a cinch to make, and one of those DIYs that even the kids can help with!
DIY Scented Bath Bombs
We're starting our week with a super fun and gorgeously fragrant DIY. Is there a better way?! These scented bath bombs look so pretty and are a fun crafty activity to make with girlfriends during a girls night-in or spa party and they make a super sweet gift for teachers, or party favor for so many occasions and celebrations!
Styling a Pretty Royal High Tea Party
The royal wedding is in a few days, are you excited?! I sure am, mainly because the event presents us with the perfect opportunity to host a high tea party to celebrate while watching the ceremony! I remember the first royal wedding a few years ago only too well. Not only did we shared some very British inspired party ideas to celebrate the occasion , but my scones recipe was also featured on CNN entertainment, and I'll be forever grateful to the Royal Wedding for that! 😉
How To Decorate Flower Cookies The Easy Way!
Despite the cold and rain some of us are having, spring is actually here.

And no spring party is complete without flower sugar cookies! Thinks mother's day, spring brunch, bridal showers, tea parties, bee themed birthday...these cookies also make great homemade gifts for teacher's or to give out to guests as favors at your spring party!
