Fall Themed Birthday Party

How beautiful is this FALL THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Natalie Mudd of Wonderfully Made Events! I love all the rustic touches mixed with darling design elements {like burlap & chevron}.

Natalie said this about planning the party- “This party was thrown for my two kids. The dessert table consisted of homemade pies, Apple, Dutch Apple, Caramel Apple, and Pumpkin pie. Other desserts included Caramel apples, pumpkin cookies, apple cider donuts and pumpkin fluff. I wanted to carry the Fall theme all the way through the party so I created a Chili Car which consisted of Chili, Chili Mac, Chili Fries, Chili Dogs and Chili baked Potatoes.”

All decorations and desserts were made and created by Wonderfully Made Events

Pumpkin County Fair 9th Birthday Party

This amazing PUMPKIN COUNTY FAIR NINTH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Wendy Updegraff of Wendy Updegraff Photography will blow you away! What a darling party theme! So many cute ideas here that would be perfect for any fall celebration!

“We celebrated my sweet Bella’s 9th birthday with a backyard bash with some country flair. The theme was Pumpkin County Fair and we tried to make it a little feminine by sticking with pinks, oranges & black. All of the decorations were a labor of love by my very talented mother and myself…and my wonderful mother-in-law helped out with the baking. My son and a friend of the family were our “carnies” and I think they were the two cutest carnies I have ever seen. They did a great job helping the younger kids with all of the games.”

Autumn Book Themed Ball

Happy New Year! To ring it in today I am featuring this gorgeous AUTUMN BOOK THEMED BALL submitted by Amber Kairalla. I know you might ask- Autumn? But really, one look at this event and you will see how amazing it is- and how featuring it today is perfect. 
Here is what Amber said about the party- “I, along with a group of highschool friends, throw an Autumn Ball, every year. What started out as a small party with just a group of friends, soon turned into a yearly, full fledged, 200 person ball. The whole entire party though, is what’s truly special! We do all of our own food, decorations, invitations, set up, clean up, etc. And it’s a blast! We spend an entire week filled with DIY, envelope stuffing, hand delivering, music planning and so very much baking! This past year was book themed with everything from book styled invites to books for door stops and book styled cakes. We try our best to keep the music classy, the style vintage and the bar high.”

Fall, Harvest, Thanksgiving Caramel Apple Party

My next party feature goes to this fun CARAMEL APPLE PARTY submitted by Michelle Wamboldt of Favor Box Bakery. Such a perfect fall party theme…so clever! Everything looks delicious. The display and set up is so visually stunning. Great job, Michelle! Thanks for your submission! Congratulations on being chosen as a feature!
Here is what Michelle said about the party- “Having been in the baking industry for awhile now, we knew it was the official month for National Cookie Day, National Dessert Day, National Apple Day, and National Caramel Day…so we decided to celebrate them all with- A Caramel Apple Affaire…
This was such a fun day! A day of making your own caramel apples, drinking apple cider, eating caramel apple pie, and playing in piles of leaves on a sunny Autumn Day with family and friends!
Guests made their own caramel apples and topped them with chocolate, sprinkles, nuts, and candies! Every guest had a favor tag with their name printed on it. When they finished making their caramel apple, we put them in Caramel Apple Favor Boxes for them to take home. Everyone also took home a Caramel Apple Mini Pie in a favor box, and a Caramel Apple Cupcake kit.” Vendors:

Fall, Harvest, Rustic Thanksgiving Party

My next party feature goes to this beautiful RUSTIC THANKSGIVING PARTY submitted by Xiomara Roman of A Styled Fete. What a gorgeous take on Thanksgiving! Such a pretty location for a photo shoot. I love the purple and turquoise colors! Amazing job, Xiomara! Thanks for your submission. So happy to share this party this weekend.
Here is what Xiomara said about the party- “A couple of weeks ago I styled a Thanksgiving photoshoot we called “Thankful”. It was full of rich colors, native- inspired details and Fall whimsy. I met with my photographer, Carly Jones at this grassy open field in Hanover, VA which was the perfect setting for the shoot. I used stacked hay bales as a table, earthy elements and textures to create the rustic “feel” I wanted.
The spread for the table included apple cider donuts on sticks, carrot cupcakes, turkey, leaf shaped cheese and tomato “bow and arrows”, veggie chips inside mini pumpkin bowls and of course, pumpkin pie. The table was also decorated with a “thankful for…” garland which had tags that said “Life, Family, Health, Love”. The kids table included a white leaf shaped cardstock with coloring pencils as an activity. The wooden utensils were stamped with a “Thank you”.
