This enchanting WOODLAND ANIMAL EIGHTH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Susanne of Susanne Ashby Photography.
A few highlights to look for in this woodland party are:
The treat cones made from paper doilies
The wooden bird house painting party activity
The animal mask party favors
The three dimensional paper butterfly backdrop
The cake decorated to look like a tree stump
and MORE!
Susanne said this about planning the party- “For my daughter’s 8th birthday, we went with a woodland theme. We chose pink and brown as the main colors. I had a lot of fun making the cake (and working with fondant for the first time!). For the party favors, each girl took home a journal and twig pencil as well as a home made sleeping mask featuring different woodland animals. Activities included painting bird houses and playing “cocoon wrap”, which was my daughter’s woodland version of the Halloween game, “mummy wrap”. The treat table included fruity fairy wands, meringue mushrooms, toadstool cupcakes, squirrel mix, acorn cookies, wafer sticks, and hedgehog doughnuts.”

This bright and cheery SPRING COOKIE DECORATING PARTY was submitted by Annina Hendrick for Enchanting Details.
What an adorable party full of ideas! Some of my favorite elements are:
Annina said this about planning the party- “This cookie decorating party and mini dessert table was part of our Easter celebration- but the theme was really more “Spring”, since there were very few Easter-specific decorations. I kept the colors as soft pastels, and with the morning light filtering in to my breakfast nook, it created a very beautiful and ethereal set-up.
I decorated with ruffled fabric, glassware that I already owned, and a “Sweet Tweet” Bird Printable Kit, which I designed.
The cookie decorating table included a reversible cake plate for the sugar cookies and icing, cake pops in flower pots, and nest cupcakes for guests to snack on. Each setting had a placemat, and a cup of sprinkles. Squeeze bottles full of icing were placed upside down in the cake stand so that the frosting would be ready when we began decorating!
I hung a rosette wreath in the center of the picture window and hung banners around the bay window.
The mini dessert table held a birdcage, which is intended for candles, but also worked as a unique cupcake stand. There was also a plate full of strawberry cupcakes, and pink lemonade.”

This darling LOOK WHOOO’S ONE OWL THEMED 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Lauren Haddox of Lauren Haddox Designs.
Such an adorable party full of fabulous ideas! A few of my favorites include:
Lauren said this about the party- “Sarah was a dream client to work with… we customized my Night Owl Sleepover collection for her daughter’s first birthday. She did a fantastic job putting everything together. Here are some of the details of the party from Sarah’s blog…
‘I have been pinning pictures and ideas on Pinterest for the last few months so I knew what “theme” I wanted for her first birthday….OWLS….in my signature colors of course! One of the best things I did was to hire an amazing photographer to take pictures of the day and all of the details. It was so nice to be able to visit with all of the guests and enjoy the party without a camera around my neck trying to get a bunch of pictures. Best money spent! It was amazing seeing my vision come together and having everything so pretty for my special birthday girl.
I found the little “S” and owl at Hobby Lobby. The bottles are glass Starbucks bottles. I got them from someone off Craigslist, took the labels off and washed them about 10 times with super hot water. I had all of the guests bring sealed letters to Sally and place them in the suitcase. I plan to present her with the letters when she turns 18. I collected brightly colored frames…mostly from Hobby Lobby…and filled them with Sally’s monthly pictures.’”
