Ballerina 5th Birthday Party

The gorgeous BALLERINA FIFTH BIRTHDAY PARTY was styled by Amanda and Simone of invite me in Australia. Ballerina parties seem to be so popular right now, but I love that no two are alike. While most of them share the same color scheme (PINK!), each one is full of unique, beautiful ideas.

Here are some of my favorite elements in this ballerina party:
The stunning pink ombre ruffle cake
The stamped mini wooden spoons
The embellished paper party hats
The mini tutu-wearing dress form
and MORE!

This is what Amanda said about planning the party- “My gorgeous Grace turned five and loving ballet as much as she does, it was no surprise she requested a ballet themed birthday. Complete with twirling ribbons, pink ruffles and dancing cupcakes, the celebration was every little ballerina’s dream. A festival of all things pink and pretty, as long as there was lots of sparkle, Grace was always going to love it.

We knew the party had begun when a wave of tulle skirts and ballet slippers engulfed the house. Little ballerinas danced and played with Emma the ballerina who had them enthralled with all manner of ballet antics including pass the parcel, musical statues and musical chairs. After a little exercise, our petite party sat down for some afternoon tea.

The extremely talented Anita from Cake Envy provided the centerpiece of the table – an ombre ruffled cake with an oversized sugar flower and bejeweled centre – and ballerinas nibbled on beautiful ballet biscuits, strawberry mousse, tutu chocolates, ballerina push pops and candy.

Vintage-inspired Lovely Lace pastel pink paper plates and cups tied in perfectly with our ballet theme along with the Beautiful Ballerina printables and customized backdrop bunting designed and created by invite me. For a little extra sparkle we adorned our printable hats, sign and chocolates with ribbon, tulle and flowers from our local craft store. Nothing like a bit of cut and pasting to add that extra shine to your printables range!

Our ballerinas danced and twirled the afternoon away and after our guests left, my Grace turned to me and said. ‘Mummy, this is the best birthday I’ve ever had.’ You can’t beat praise like that.”

Here’s what Kate said about planning the party- “It’s a good thing you like the color pink Mommy, ’cause you’re making A LOT of pink things!!” (Said my sweet little Olivia yesterday as I was working on this table) And WHOA was she right!! It was a lot of pink!!! ;) But it wasn’t TUTU much because they’re HAVING A GIRL!!

And how do you celebrate your first little baby girl? You splash pink decorations all over the room, gather friends and indulge on PINK desserts. (that’s where I come in) ;)

The expectant mama has a real passion for dance and loves Angelina Ballerina. They wanted sweet, pink, ballet themed yumminess on a table and that’s just what they got! I had SO much fun putting together this table because as my sweet Olivia pointed out, I LOVE pink! I will admit however that the tutu table skirt nearly killed me. I might think twice before working with that much tulle again. **think static electricity overload, yards and yards of tulle and one little innocent baker (ME) caught in the middle of it all** But other than that it was “tutu” much fun.

Big thank you to Amanda of Amanda’s Parties To Go for supplying her NEW adorable Ballerina collection. It added just the right touch!! Check out her shop. She is AMAZING!!!! The table would definitely not be the same without her artwork!!”

Pink Ballerina 1st Birthday Party

Up next is this fabulous PINK BALLERINA FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Mariana Sperb from Brazil! Just look at all the details! This party would be a dream for any little ballerina or child who loves pink! So many wonderful ideas here!

Mariana said this about planning the party- “This Ballerina Party was developed especially for little Maria Victoria who turned one! Mama Maria Manoella chose this theme because she is a dancer. I simply LOVED working with this color palette so beautiful and soft. We wanted to bring the romance and delicacy to the party … so we used tulle, mannequins, and of course, many custom items for a small and a future ballerina!”

Dora Ballerina 3rd Birthday Party

Take a look at this DORA BALLERINA THIRD BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Alexis Turner of Sugar Sweet Buffets!

Alexis said- “My daughter Ayva turned 3 recently and as she is obsessed with ‘ballerina Dora’, it was easy to decide on a party theme! I didn’t want the traditional bright multi-coloured Dora The Explorer party so I stuck to pink (her favourite colour of course!) and added in some turquoise here and there. We had a dessert table with the birthday cake, panna cotta, macarons, fairy floss, swizzle sticks and other candy for the children to take home. Pink lemonade, popcorn and jelly were some more snacks on the drinks table. I also had an ice cream bar as it turned out to be a very hot day!”
