British Boy Birthday Party! – Budget Friendly Party

My next party feature goes to this lovely BRITISH BOY BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Tina Fussell of Traveling Mama. Tina threw this fun party for her husband who turned 40 and her son who turned 3 on the same weekend! I just love the simplicity of it. Again, it goes to show that you don’t have to spend a ton of money to create a super cute party. Tina painted her own flag and created the paper garland. The darling Double Decker Bus came from Habitat.

Cupcake kit from Baker’s Bling: http://www.etsy.com/shop/BakersBlingShop. Popcorn bags and straws from Hey Yoyo: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeyYoYoTina said- “I really love your site and thought you might like this party! Throwing big parties overseas is always a huge challenge for me. There is so much less available here (and the other countries we have lived) but I have always strived to still give my kids (and husband!) a special day to remember!”

"Pucker Up” Lemon Kisses Bridal Shower!

Today’s winning feature goes to this fun “PUCKER UP FOR YOUR SWEETIE” BRIDAL SHOWER submitted by Piggy Bank Parties! What a cute party theme! The sweet and sour touches are just darling. The party concept: Before the big day, the bride will need to practice her pucker before she kisses her sweetie! This party was created on a budget. Only $75 was spent! I love the backdrop created with square paper plates and striped paper. A lemonade stand and kissing booth were created on the table using popcorn buckets from a dollar store as the base. All the “sugar cookie” printables for this party can be purchased here!

All the crepe paper ruffled streamers were made using 3 rolls of crepe paper, $3 and 1 hour behind the sewing machine! So cute, inexpensive and easy!

Lip Smakin’ lemonade!…

Such a darling bridal shower/bachelorette party. It could easily be a Lemonade Birthday Party or Baby Shower, too! Thanks for your submission, Oink! Congrats on being today’s winning party feature!

Summer Rainbow Birthday Party

What says summer better than bright colors, sweet treats, cool drinks and a pool? Today’s winning party feature goes to this adorable SUMMER RAINBOW PARTY submitted by Candice and Rozannah. I am loving the rainbow party trend. The parties just keep getting cuter and cuter! This party was put together on a budget {everything was homemade}…and turned out FAB. I heart the bike and flower birthday shirts {this was a birthday party for two little friends, a boy and a girl} and the water bottles filled with koolaid {how easy and CUTE}. Such a darling party. Great job, Candice and Rozannah! Thanks for your submission!
