Here’s what Angela said about planning the party- “My son Isaiah recently turned 4 and is mid-way through his first year of Preschool. Seeing how much he enjoys going to school and learning new things, I decided to throw him a Bookworm themed birthday party. We invited a few of his little friends who are also in their first year of school, plus their moms – for a play date party!

I set up my dining room to look like a fun, kid friendly library – complete with plenty of balloons, colorful books, and a comfy reading nook. Each child was asked to bring their favorite book. When the guests arrived they were given a bow tie / hair bow clip and a pair of ‘reading glasses’ to wear.

The children’s activities included coloring bookmarks and ‘writing’ their very own story (with the help of a package of stickers and the writing skills of the moms!). We also had story time, when we read the books the children had brought and the stories they wrote! It was so cute to hear what those little minds thought up!

We shared a light meal of meat cheese & crackers, fruit and vegetables – which were served in brightly colored paper bowls. For desert, each guest was given an individual dirt cake (complete with gummy worms) in lieu of a cupcake or piece of cake. Other treats included cherry sour balls and adorably decorated sugar cookies.

At the end of the party each child gathered up their favors in a beautiful personalized book bag.

This was a small party which was quite simple to put together, and the children LOVED it! I would recommend this party theme to anyone with young children!”

The Very Hungry Caterpillar 1st Birthday Party

How darling is this VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Lauren Borquez of Capes & Crowns!

Lauren said- “When my client contacted me last month for A Very Hungry Caterpillar party I was so excited to get started as the book is one of my favorites! She requested a simple, yet bright and bold look for her sweet soon to be one year old son, Remington. The entire party had a very happy feel to it and guests were treated to fruit shaped cookies based on ones the caterpillar loved, along with cake and cupcakes made by Hot Mama’s Bakery to fit the theme. The adorable printable set was provided by Vens Paperie. All images were captured by the wonderful Danielle McCann Photography. Little guests went home with gummy worm treats and the birthday boy had his own worm in dirt dessert!”

“Bee” is for Book Baby Shower!

My next winning party feature goes to this darling BEE IS FOR BOOK BABY SHOWER submitted by Life With Fingerprints! Just look at that cake! This shower is soooo cute. I love that Kara {adore her name…hehe} mixed bumblebee’s with damask! The damask backdrop is a waverly home decor fabric hung with a black sheet behind it. The banner was made with basic scrapbooking paper {cut into triangles} with printed letters on yellow paper and strung along 6 inche tulle. The beehinve cake was created with a specialty pan from Williams Sonoma. Cookies were designed to look like bees with a basic circle shape cookie cutter. The bee graphic used through the party was hand drawn in illustrator and printed. Canning jars tied with black tulle were used for yellow candy, and also used as the drink ware for the party. Everyone at this shower either brought a book for the new mama or money for the “honey” pot. Such a good idea. Thanks for your submission, Kara! Congratulations on being today’s winning party feature!
