Cupcakes and Carousels 2nd Birthday Party

This adorable CUPCAKES AND CAROUSELS SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Stephanie Hanna of Brag about Baby.

What a darling theme for a birthday party. Any boy or girl would love it. It has so many creative ideas that could be implemented into all sorts of occasions. Some of my favorite elements are:

The cupcake horse toppers
The Happy Birthday banner
The carousel horse suckers
The ticket booth photo opp
The invitation
The cute “2″ cookies
and MORE!

Stephanie said this about planning the party- “We were so excited to have McKenzie’s 2nd Birthday party at Sugar Sand Park right next to the carousel. We had lots of sweet treats, a ticket booth photo op, clown that did face painting and balloon animals. We had hula hoops and beach balls for the little ones to play with. Carousel music and carousel rides made the party complete. I started with my favorite part… the dessert table. I used white linens so the color scheme: pink, mint green and gold would pop!”

Disco Glam 12th Birthday Party

Comment

This sparkly DISCO GLAM TWELFTH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Justine Clarke of Sensationally Sweet Events. What a bright and fun party theme for any girl.

From sparkles to glow sticks there are just so many great ideas. Some of my favorite elements are:

The apothecary jars filled with candy
The gumball machine
The pink cupcake stands
The awesome labels on everything
The banners
and MORE!

Justine said this about planning the party- “The brief was black, white and hot pink disco theme to which I added gold, glitz and glam elements. The dessert table was filled with cupcakes and lollies in hot pink, gold, yellow and white. I painted some homemade cake stands in metallic gold and hot pink paint, then glued some sequined trim. Old pasta jars were sprayed gold and glammed up with mod podge and pink glitter plus a band of sequined trim to fill with fresh flowers and a plastic Ikea ‘Grab a Glowstick’ frame got the mod podge and gold glitter treatment. My friend Jenny from Concept Designs created the gold glitter ball backdrop and matching printable accessories for the table. I filled my hand-painted metallic gold gumball machine with hot pink sixlets and personalised milk chocolate bars sat on a vintage serving tray covered with diamante bling. A quickly made glitter cardstock ‘bling’ garland brightened up the front of the table.”

Dalia said this about planning the party- ”We couldn’t decide if we should have a Circus party or a Carnival party so why not have the best of both worlds! This party was held for a 5 year old boy and boy oh boy was it a hit with all the little guests! Best thing about this theme is that it’s loved equally by both boys and girls and it oozes FUN! Every last detail of this party was themed with props from Tiny Tots Toy Hire’s new Carnival range including vintage Hot Dog and Lemonade stands, Ticket booth, Carnival Directional Sign, Corn & Candy Station, Photo booth, Circus tent, Lolly Shop Canopy and much much more! Along with the music, both adults and kids felt like they were really at the Carnival on the day!

The kids loved playing traditional carnival games like Can Toss, Pin the Nose on the Clown, Duck Pond fishing, Tattoos and Ring Toss, along with some not so traditional but equally fun games like bowling, Dress up Corner, Sack race, musical chairs and hopscotch! When it was time to eat, both the savoury and sweet food was themed and included mini hamburgers, hot dogs, corn cobs, mini pies and sausage rolls, toffee apples, lollies, freshly made fairy floss and popcorn to name a few. The balloon arch by Born to Party was definitely a show stopper and really made an impact alongside the giant whirly windmills and of course a Prize Board filled with goodies to choose from is a huge hit with the littlies and a must for this theme!”

Gone Fishing Themed Birthday Party

Comment

Gone Fishiing themed birthday party via Kara's Party Ideas KarasPartyIdeas.com #gone #fishing #fish #fisherman #themed #party #ideas #father's #day #dad

This rustic GONE FISHING THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Laura Aguirre of LAURA’S little PARTY.

I love so many of the ideas and elements in this gone fishing party! My favorites are:

The fishing themed cookies
The waffle cones filled with goldfish cracker “trail mix”
The bait stand displaying the “catch of the day” sack lunches
and MORE!

Here’s what Laura said about planning the party- “Recently, my little guy Jordan {2 1/2 yrs old} has taken a liking to fishing. I recently purchased a fishing hat, and brought it home for him. Since then, he would tell me every day that he wanted to go fishing. I love making fun milestones into big celebrations, so I quickly put together a little fishing spread at a small lake near our house. I gathered some props, put together a few fun fishing elements, and even converted our lemonade stand into a “bait stand” that held the “catch of the day”: sack lunches, and milk bottles for lemonade.

S’mores bites, mini cupcakes, gold fish cracker “trail mix” and other treats were perfect for our little day trip to the lake. My dear friend Arlene, from She wears the crown made a batch of adorable cookies, especially for my little skipper!

Although he didn’t catch anything, he certainly had a great time casting his fishing line, and clomping around in his favorite boots, and fishing hat.”

Elephant Themed 1st Birthday Party

Elephant themed first birthday party with a lot of cute ideas! Via Kara's Party Ideas KarasPartyIdeas.com #elephant #party #ideas #birthday

This charming ELEPHANT THEMED FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Juliana Han of Elefante Colorido in Brazil.

This elephant birthday party could easily be customized to suit either a boy or a girl. There are also so many fun ideas that could be used for an elephant baby shower! Some of my favorite elements in this party are:

The elephant silhouette party picks
The assortment of green topiaries displayed in various sizes and styles of white milk glass vases
The elephant tail marshmallow pops
and MORE!

Desserts and “brigadeiro” cake- from Ateliê do Doce

Items used in this party available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop:
Candles
Elephant Printables
Balloons
Circle and Scalloped Paper Punches

Here’s what Juliana said about the party- “For the 1st birthday of our kids’ party hall, we gave ourselves the challenge to develop a table that would be easily customizeable (so we can re-create it in different colors, for boys and girls, following our guests´ requests). We wanted it to be tasteful and delicate, and not use any specialty, expensive sweets, desserts or cakes. With this, we want to keep the cost affordable for our clients to be able to have a beautiful, customized table, without having to spend a lot of money.

There are many different and beautiful tables out there, that are based on expensive and artfully created sweets, desserts and candies. We wanted our table to be based on common brazilian party treats, such as brigadeiro, pink brigadeiro, coconut sweets and so on. I think we met all our goals beautifully, since everybody who came visiting us on that day complimented us and liked our table very much!”
