Nick Jr’s Bubble Guppies Themed 2nd Birthday Party

5

This NICK JR’S BUBBLE GUPPIES THEMED SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Bethany Baumgart.

Some of my favorite elements in this Bubble Guppies party are:
  • The under the sea mermaid themed cake
  • The chevron print wreath
  • The framed wooden number two with the chicken wire backdrop
  • and MORE!
This is what Bethany said about planning the party- “Our two year old daughter is in LOVE with the Nick Jr. television show Bubble Guppies. Bubble Guppies is still a newer show, so there is not much out there to choose from when it comes to party decor. It took some creative thought to put this all together!”

This is what Annina said about planning the party- “I planned this Gone Fishin’ Party for my brother’s small family birthday party. He and my father are avid fishermen, and spend as much time as possible out on the lake fishing for bass. So I thought it would be fun to create a party with edible details related to fishing! This would also be a wonderful party idea for father’s day, if Dad likes to fish.

The cupcakes are made of chocolate with a milk chocolate buttercream. I crushed up some chocolate cookies for the “Dirt”.

For the “bait buckets” I created a printable galvanized bucket template based off of a cupcake wrapper template. I hooked some craft wire through each side for the “handle”. The “bait” is sour gummy worms.

For the fishing pole cupcakes I used a pretzel as the rod and hooked on a goldfish with some craft wire. The “water” was made from blue candy pearls.

The cupcakes are displayed on some unfinished wood crates. I thought they fit in with the rustic lake theme of the party.

In the buckets beside the banner I set up some “bobber” cake pops in a styrofoam ball covered with goldfish.

I finished off the table with some Swedish Fish and gummy worms in mason jars. The bottles are IBC root beer, a favorite of both my dad and brother. To balance everything out, I filled some apothecary jars with rainbow goldfish.

The fish banner includes a bass, trout, and catfish that I designed, printed, cut out, and attached to the twine with craft wire made to look like fishing hooks. I also designed and printed the sign. All of the paper elements- fish banner, sign, cupcake wrappers, toppers, tags, and “bait bucket” wrappers- are available to purchase in my Etsy shop as printable templates.”

 Here’s what Laila said about planning the party- “This year for my daughter’s third birthday party, I decided to celebrate her love for animals and throw her a colorful animal centered party. I started the design process by illustrating silhouettes of her favorite animals and then deciding to go with a bright and very colorful color palette. The invitations featured all the colors and so the party began to take shape. I fell in love with the look of succulents and enlisted Isabel Isaac from Isaac Farms to create the three centerpieces I used for the adult tables. My daughter’s only request was that actual animals showed up to the party (well that and lots of candies and a cake of course) so I searched and found through my talented baker, Safari Edventures here in Miami. I always team up with Brantley from Sweet Brantley’s for anything that has to do with sweets. She translated the invitation and the look of the party so well into our 3 tiered cake!

For the party favors, I found perfect safari themed puzzles at target and wrapped them in kraft paper. I used the patterns I had created to print a large sticker to wrap around the presents and did a circular tag with each child’s name on it to put on top of that. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted crates, the problem was that I wanted a more vintage look than most of the store bought crates have, so I collected hand stamped wine crates that I found had more personality. To give the party a more festive look, I added the crates full of tillandsias and the moss around the crates. I bought plastic animals I used to decorate the tables and to fill the piñata as well.

For the linens, I knew I wanted burlap to offset the colors of the bright decorations I had done, so I did an off white linen and a burlap overlay in all the food tables, I used colorful linens for the rest of the tables. To make it even more colorful, I purchased balloons, I wanted to add a special touch to some of the balloons, so I purchased 1″ confetti (in the colors of the party) and hand filled clear balloons with them. I found they gave the party that extra special touch.”

This is what Feather said about planning the party- “I am a huge fan of the show Duck Dynasty and wanted to put together a duck themed set up to celebrate the new season of the show. It was extremely exciting to coordinate the details with a few wonderful vendors on this set up. With my primary focus on ducks, I knew I needed lots of mossy oak, grass and camouflage. I designed coordinating printables with camouflage ducks for the set up. Designs by Nicolina worked her magic on the backdrop poster “It’s a Party Jack!”, Treats 4 Ta-Ta’s did a fantastic job on duck themed cookies, Kima’s Konfections created a very detailed cake topper scene of ducks swimming in water, Painting Paris Pink contributed party paper straws for the juice bottles, Cupcake with Character designed camouflage cupcake wraps and Peckled created a festive “Quack” banner. Everything coordinated perfectly and came together nicely with the duck theme. I photographed and captured all the details of the set up and items from these wonderful vendors that also included a couple of items from Kara’s Party Ideas Shop! It was a fun and exciting set up!”

Little Duckling Easter + Spring Party

Comment

This precious LITTLE DUCKLING EASTER + SPRING PARTY was submitted by Suzanne Olvey of Fanciful Events.

This adorable spring soiree is so adorable! Some of my favorite elements are:
  • The egg shaped paper lanterns
  • The burlap “spring” pennant banner
  • The egg carton party favors
  • and MORE!
This is what Suzanne said about planning the party- “I did a simple Easter brunch and used a touch of ducklings throughout. I wanted to do this theme a little differently and switch out the pastel color scheme with coral, turquoise, yellow and touches of gold. Since I decided on a  duckling theme I wanted there to be lots of “egg” elements throughout the dessert table. I also incorporated eggs in the decor, dessert displays and as take home favors {egg cartoons with candy in them}. There were also fun and festive Easter “Nutcrackers”. The brunch menu was simple but full of wonderful things such as waffles on a stick, powdered donuts, mini cinnamon rolls, mini blueberry muffins, donut holes, mini cupcakes and a couple of sweet treats. I wanted to do something sweet, simple and fun.”
