This darling Girly Princess Fairy Birthday Party was submitted by Margarita Ellis of Party Inspirations in Sydney Australia.
This princess fairy party is sweet, simple and has just the right amount if girlishness to make any little girl smile. Some of my favorite party ideas are:
The tulle pom poms
The barbie / fairy / princess cake
The carousel horse embellished pennant banner
and MORE!
Here’s what Margarita had to say about planning the party- “This was my daughter’s 5th Birthday Party. I couldn’t decide on a specific theme so I just used different things that I knew my daughter liked. I made the cake, cake pops, cupcakes, fairy cakes and coconut ice. All paper pretties, banner, cupcake toppers and carousel horses were by Raspberry Lime Paperie. I also made the tulle pom poms.”
Here’s what Brittany said about planning the party- “When I was brainstorming my big guy’s 5th birthday, I really wanted to play on the word “five.” So, after tossing around several ideas with my sister and her hubs, he suggested Live at Five. Since we are all huge fans of Anchorman, I immediately jumped on this! I wanted to give it a retro spin, and harken back to the classic news anchors of days past. And, since we call him Grey, even though his name is Greyson, the four letters were a perfect fit for the call letters of a news station.
One of the first people I contacted when I was first planning this party was Piggy Bank Parties. I knew that they could absolutely kill it when it came to the printables. And, of course, they did not disappoint. Do sent over this absolutely amazing invitation using the call letters logo! I got so many texts and emails about how cute this invitation was!
If you follow my parties for my boys, you know that I always have to do a big-impact piece for my entryway. This year, I made the call letters of the news station out of a large piece of cardboard and some paint. I printed the letters out from my computer and mod-podged them onto the signs. I spray painted the five with silver paint to make it reflect.
My idea for the food table was for it to be a news desk. So, I ordered a corrugated cardboard from Shindigz and rolled it around the table to make it look solid. Then, I customized an awesome Brooklyn Bridge backdrop from Shindigz with a logo to make it look like a news studio backdrop. That was probably my favorite part of the entire party.
For the food, I wanted some unique serving pieces, so I bought video tapes at Goodwill for $1 a piece and glued them all together to make stands. Then, I printed out our station call letters and taped them to the videos. A simple clear plate on top and you’ve got yourself a stand! Some of the food items were Chic-Fil-A wraps (“That’s a Wrap!”) and Nuggets (“Sound Bites”). I also
came up with microphone meatballs! They were breadsticks with meatballs which I served with marinara sauce. And what’s the news without coffee and doughnuts? I found a coffee cup planter at Lowe’s months ago and used it to display the doughnuts on skewers.
The phenomenal TV cake is from Mad Lily Cakery. I gasped when I saw it! The airbrushed woodgrain on the sides was my favorite part. It was the perfect retro touch! And guests couldn’t believe it was the cake! Plus, it was delicious!
For the favor table, I created a weather forecast for the backdrop. I hand painted it and it took several hours, but it was totally worth it. Several people asked me if this was the actual forecast for the week. And trust me, that weather outlook is pretty typical for Memphis! I knew I wanted Piggy Bank Parties to do their microphone favor box for me, because it is awesome. And I asked them to add a little “box” around it for the call letters. They turned out amazing! And they even did a little tie tag for me too! The detail on the mic is so awesome! I filled them with dum-dums for the kiddos.
Greyson’s birthday shirt is by my extremely talented friend, Mollie at Personally Stitched. She blew my mind this time by replicating the call letters! She is so great!”
This is what Valerie said about the party- “My daughter turned FIVE this year. This particular birthday was a little bittersweet — a kind of graduation into the big-kid years. We wanted to celebrate this monumental birthday with a super special birthday that spoke to her. All who know our little Reesie, know how horse obsessed she is. We’re not quite sure where she gets it from, but we think it’s pretty precious. So, a horse themed party seemed appropriate. Luckily, here in the Western suburbs of Chicago, we are blessed to be surrounded by lots of beautiful horse farms. Her party was a super sweet celebration — a little bit rustic, a whole lot girly and 100% REESE! The kids had a ball riding real horses and enjoyed all that the rustic horse barn setting provided. We ordered pizza, had old fashioned pink lemonade and chocolate milk and all the kiddos were treated to a whole slew of yummy sweet treats to ensure a little “giddy up” in their step. It was a FABULOUS time. A birthday none of us with soon forget!”
This is what Chelsea said about the party- “This was my daughter Sophia’s 5th birthday party. Sofia wants to be a pilot when she grows up so I wanted to do this Airline party for her. Maybe she won’t be a pilot but I wanted her to look back at her 5th birthday and at least remember what her dreams were at that age. The children were entertained with airline themed games and a magician.”
