Tweet tweet. A little bird is here today to show you the cutest BABY BIRD BABY SPRINKLE submitted by Kate Petronis of And Everything Sweet. This party would be a perfect TWEET Heart Valentine’s party, too!
Here is what Kate said about the party- “My sweet friend Katie is pregnant with her third child and due any minute now. Myself and four friends who love Katie to pieces put together this darling bird themed shower to celebrate the newest member of her family and “feather her nest”. :)
Isn’t this the cutest dang “E” you’ve ever seen? I hate to brag, but its not often that I see the letter E and say “awwwwwww”, but after I made this I whispered a long one. ;) This was one of many DIY projects from this party. Easy peezy…just get yerself a paper mache letter from the craft store and wrap it in yarn…round and round and round until you’re done. I embellished with felt birds and felt roses. I’m sure there is a tutorial online somewhere…I just kinda winged it, but I think it turned out pretty cute. (shower decorations/baby nursery decor afterwards…gotta love those two-fer deals!)
Another little DIY project, this wreath was so cute and fun to make and will make a great decoration for Emily’s nursery room door. Big thank you to my Cricut machine for cutting out the the letters and thank you to all the wooden doll tutorials I found all over the internet for this one. :)
For drinks we served pink lemonade in mason jars and of course, bottled water. Are you loving the fabric labels? I used leftover fabric from the dessert table (which by the way was $1.50/yard at Walmart!!!…these labels practically paid ME to decorate the water). I just love how I justify all these little expenses…hehe
We set up a clip making station so that each guest could make a little hair clip for baby Emily. I created little instructions for each “step” to help guide everyone through the clip making process. I put out ribbon and clips and each guest covered their own clip w/their ribbon of choice. Then they chose an embellishment to make it pretty. There were buttons, bows, fabric flowers and more.
After food and bow making we sat down to play a quick game of memory (baby themed). This game was so much fun to play. I found the idea and instructions to make the game here. Erica and Ashly did a great job putting it all together for us.
The basic idea of the game is a matching game…when you get a match you get a candy prize based on the match you made. For example…when you find the match to “contractions” you get a box of Whoppers. Epidural match gets the candy Lifesavers. I think you get the idea. Head over here for more candy ideas if you want to recreate!!!
Each guest was sent home with a little treat for their birds at home. These little bird seed ornament favors were not only cute, but totally inexpensive AND useful!! Our poor birds outside need all the food they can get in these harsh winter months (wait, wasn’t the high today in the 60s? Whatever…not everyone lives in Atlanta.). Go here for if you’d like to make some for yourself.”
My next winning party feature goes to this amazingNATURE THEMED LITTLE BIRDIE PARTY submitted by L’Apparato. Is this party not incredible?! I am blown away by all the little details. Seriously, where do I even begin…the birdcages, the CAKE, the plants, the fabric, the desserts, the tied ribbon, the leaves on the ground…all of it is simply divine.
I hope you enjoy the images of this darling party as much as I did. Photography by Ana Paula Guerra.
And I just have to say {on a side note}…
Thanks so much for all of your party submissions. Please understand that due to the very large amount of submissions I receive daily, I am unable to respond to each message personally. I really wish I could! I just love all of you! If I am unable to feature your party please know that it is NOT a negative reflection of your party and hard work!
Happy Monday! This gorgeous LOVEBIRD TWEET BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by I Will Invitations was chosen as today’s winning party feature! Such a darling party. I adore the pink & aqua color scheme. And look at the beautiful handpainted backdrop!
Gayle created this party for her daughter, Imogen. Since the day she was born Imogen has been brimming with personality. You can always hear her ‘twitter’ about the house…so, the tweeting lovebird birthday party/naming party was born.
All the stationary, printables and accessories can be purchased from I Will Invitations.
Lovely job, Gayle! Thanks for your submission! Congratulations on being today’s winning party feature!

In Paula’s words…“The dessert table I created in a palette of soft pinks…there is just something elegant and girly about this color! My favorite part by far are the hair clips and hair bands that were made by Tara at Three Little Bows to decorate my candy jars and bird cage.
On the table were a range of desserts for all tastes…raspberry mousse with fresh whipped cream, petite fours, meringues, cupcakes, and chocolate brownie truffles. In creating menus for any of my parties–large or small–I try to keep the made from scratch items to two or three. In this case, one and a half! I made the raspberry mousse, took a shortcut on the truffles, and purchased the remainder of the items. The cupcakes I requested plain, and decorated myself with gumpaste hydrangeas fromSweet Petal Bakery.
For the savory food, a plant stand was used to uniquely present the crudites and dip. Pita chips were served in snack boxes to accompany the roasted red pepper hummus. Tiny quiches and fresh fruit rounded out the savory offerings for this mid-afternoon (and pre-superbowl!) shower.
Babycakes & Decor was gracious enough to send a little treat for the mom-to-be using the printable cupcake wrappers and toppers – burp cloths and wash clothes shaped into little cupcakes and candy shapes! The mom was delighted, and they were ridiculously cute on display. Pom Flair provided the beautiful pink pom garland that leant a perfect festive accent to the room.”
Your shower was precious, Paula!
Wonderful job.
Congratulations on being the winning party feature today!
