This fun CANDY LAND THEMED SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Chakoda of Chakoda Designs.
A few of my favorite party ideas in this candy land party are:
The tumbling mats used for the rainbow path
The tufted Queen Anne chair holding the paper crowns
The large plastic ice cream cones
and MORE!
This is what Chakoda said about planning the party- “Candy turns 2! So fun & Sweetly Colorful. Wanted to create it as close to the game as possible. All the rentals & props were from
www.chakodadesign.com. They were life size pieces & most importantly kid friendly. Guests loved it! Even non-guests stopped by to take a closer look!”

This super cute RAINBOW CANDY LANDY BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Tierney Williams of Tints and Prints!
Tierney said this about planning the party- “As a mother to three sons, I was ecstatic when my sister-in-law asked me to help with my niece’s Candy Land inspired birthday party. As the owner of a little invitation and announcement card shop on Etsy, Tints and Prints by Tierney, I am honored when family and friends ask for my help. I created an entire DIY Party Package of printables for this adorable party. By pairing Candy Land with bright chevron prints, I updated the classic childhood game with a modern design obsession of mine…chevron!
The kids loved the candy station we had set up with make-your-own fruit loop necklaces, ice cream cone blowing bubbles, and a Guess How Many candy jar. The goodie bag favors were a hit as well, allowing the kids to not only take some classic candy home…but they received their own pocket size miniature Candy Land travel board game, complete with cards and gingerbread men.
The birthday girl was all show when she came to the door dressed to greet her guests…in a custom made Candy Land outfit, made by her Nana, with love. The fabric was purchased at a local craft store and looked perfect with the birthday girl’s fruit loop necklace. I enjoyed every detail of helping with this party, from designing the photo invitation to receiving my coordinating Thank You card in the mail, signed by my very own little sweet niece, Cora.”

I’m so excited to showcase this GLITTERY CHRISTMAS CANDY LAND PARTY submitted by Connie Sharpe of Candy Land Buffets! Such a fun and frilly Christmas holiday party theme, don’t you think?! Any child would be in Heaven at this party! I hope you gain a lot of inspiration & ideas here!
Connie said this about planning the party- “I love everything about a Candy Land theme, so I decided to create “A Glittery Christmas Candy Land” to get in the mood for Christmas! I used lots of Candy Land props which I had especially made for me, as well as lots of glittery Christmas decorations. In the centre of the table, I got some lollipop hanging ornaments and made a lollipop tree!”

Iris did such a great job at putting everything together!
In fact, she has an etsy shop where you can purchase this ‘Candyland’ printable party pack here!
In Iris’ words…“I had so much fun planning Brody’s 5th birthday party since it involved lots and lots of candy! One of the highlights of the party was the bright and colorful candy buffet. Sweets included long twirly lollipops, large Pixy Stix, Oreo pops, Smarties, Sour Patch Kids, and ice cream cones filled with Froot Loops, amongst other candies. We also had some buckets of chocolate candy bars that were a big hit for the adults. Another big hit was the castle bouncehouse that the kids enjoyed (and even some of us adults towards the end of the party)! Thank you so much to our wonderful family and friends who celebrated this special day with our very special birthday boy!”
“The birthday cake was actually a carrot cake from Walmart and I added some colorful gumdrops and swirly fondant lollipops {DIY TUTORIAL HERE} that I had so much fun making! Of course I had to add a personalized cake topper to make the cake extra special for our Brody.”
“As far as the party favors, two guests took home Candyland board games for guessing how many jelly beans were in a jar (congrats Michelle and Sang!) and every child received a brown bag to fill up with his/her favorite goodies. To get on the parents’ good side, each child received a toothbrush as well.”
