A few of the things I like best about this Ben 10 party are:

Here’s what Romina said about the party- “Behind the best birthday parties I’ve seen, not only are event planners, or great party designers, there are mothers, aunts, grandmothers with great enthusiasm. This is the Ben 10 Birthday party that Lucca´s mom organized for him. And I had the pleasure of collaborating.”

This cute ALPHABET ABC THEMED SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Tierney Williams of Tints and Prints by Tierney.

I love how the simplicity of this theme is taken up a level in this party by all of the unique items that were brought in from various Etsy shops. I think this Alphabet ABC theme would be so fun for a back to school party or a baby shower too! Some of the ideas and elements I like best in this party are:

The chalkboard printables
The small cake made to look like a toy block with fondant letters on the sides and striped paper straws along the edges
The mini composition book party favors
The alphabet cereal served in cupcake liners
The fork, knife and napkin packaged together in notebook paper favor bags
and MORE!

Tierney said this about the party- “Planning birthday parties is an art, an adventure and a memory in the making. As our youngest son turned 2, we decided to put a modern spin on an ABC Party. As the owner of Tints and Prints by Tierney, I challenge myself to create unique birthday parties for my boys. And when I need those unique, one-of-a-kind ideas, I shop on Etsy for just about everything. My parties start with the invitation design, of course, and everything falls into place from there. ABC decorations, books, crayon favors, notebook paper bags, chalkboard and chevron accents…need I say more? Adding these modern twists to a traditional ABC party sounded like fun and were a hit with the school of cousins we had over.

Aside from the birthday party invitation and coordinating party items, this Alphabet ABC Chalkboard Birthday Party features 5 other products from other Etsy shops. Personalized crayons, adorable fabric buntings, custom made fondant for the cake, party straws and paper bags, and the cutest Tooth Fairy pillow gift you’ve ever seen…all wonderful products. Each custom and personalized item made our party one for the books!”

Hearing the models declare “This is the best day EVER!” definitely made every second of work worthwhile! :) And a huge thank you to our little models – Anne, Sean, Kelly, Seth, Sandy, and Porter!”
