Celebrate Themed Birthday Party

This playful CELEBRATE THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Tammy Mitchell of Pink Peppermint Prints.

Why not let the theme of the party be celebration itself?! Some of the ideas I like best in this colorful celebrate themed party are:

The gumball machine on the dessert table
The milk bottle rims coated in sprinkles
The over-sized glittery clothespins
and MORE!

Here’s what Tammy said about planning the party- “I’m so used to creating “themed” parties for my kids, that when I was asked to put a little something together for a friend, it threw me for a loop not having a specific theme to work with. That’s when I realized that just celebrating the birthday in and of itself was a good enough theme! I decided to just make it colorful and fun…like something that would make you want to party! :) I whipped up a new party printable set that is a generic “Happy Birthday” theme if you will, so that it will apply to all ages and genders. I didn’t have a huge budget, so I used all things that I had around the house and that I was able to find in dollar bins at Target and at the 99cent store to pull it all together. I also handmade a couple of quick and easy elements and food items. I think it turned out to be something really cute, fairly easy to pull together and relatively inexpensive… three of my favorite things! ;)”

and MORE!

This is what Clionadh said about planning the party- “A fun & vibrant boy’s sweet party. Themed in eye catching shades of sea blue, crisp white and an injection of punchy red. A fabulous pick n mix sweet station, a mini soda bar and sweet treats for the all important guests.”

A few of my favorite party ideas in this candy land party are:

The tumbling mats used for the rainbow path
The tufted Queen Anne chair holding the paper crowns

This is what Chakoda said about planning the party- “Candy turns 2! So fun & Sweetly Colorful. Wanted to create it as close to the game as possible. All the rentals & props were from www.chakodadesign.com. They were life size pieces & most importantly kid friendly. Guests loved it! Even non-guests stopped by to take a closer look!”

This Vintage Candy Shoppe theme that was set up at a children’s party venue called Gumbellina’s in Sydney, NSW. It featured jars and jars of sweet candy and other sweet treats. Lola’s two tier cake was inspired by her favourite sherbet sticks in the colours that became the theme for the party – Herbert lemon, pink and orange. The cake was layers of caramel cake with delicious white chocolate frosting. The table also included berry and passionfruit macarons, colour dipped marshmallows, candy and lollipop cookies, cake pops, strawberry sundae and bubblegum cupcakes, and of course loads of sweet candy! The venue was decorated with small vases of delicate baby’s breath and “candy” bouncy balls wrapped in crepe paper. A very sweet party for a very sweet little girl.”

Rainbow Candy Land Birthday Party

This super cute RAINBOW CANDY LANDY BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Tierney Williams of Tints and Prints!

Tierney said this about planning the party- “As a mother to three sons, I was ecstatic when my sister-in-law asked me to help with my niece’s Candy Land inspired birthday party. As the owner of a little invitation and announcement card shop on Etsy, Tints and Prints by Tierney, I am honored when family and friends ask for my help. I created an entire DIY Party Package of printables for this adorable party. By pairing Candy Land with bright chevron prints, I updated the classic childhood game with a modern design obsession of mine…chevron!

The kids loved the candy station we had set up with make-your-own fruit loop necklaces, ice cream cone blowing bubbles, and a Guess How Many candy jar. The goodie bag favors were a hit as well, allowing the kids to not only take some classic candy home…but they received their own pocket size miniature Candy Land travel board game, complete with cards and gingerbread men.

The birthday girl was all show when she came to the door dressed to greet her guests…in a custom made Candy Land outfit, made by her Nana, with love. The fabric was purchased at a local craft store and looked perfect with the birthday girl’s fruit loop necklace. I enjoyed every detail of helping with this party, from designing the photo invitation to receiving my coordinating Thank You card in the mail, signed by my very own little sweet niece, Cora.”
