Fruit Themed 1st Birthday Party!

I am so excited about today’s winning party feature! This FRUIT THEMED PARTY or “FIESTA DE FRUTAS” was submitted by Beatriz of Con Botas De Agua from Madrid, Spain. HOW CUTE. I honestly have never seen or even thought about this party theme…I am now asking myself, why?! I adore it! The result: A fresh, healthy, colorful party.

Sueños de papel made all the graphics,En mi nube de azúcar made the fruit cookies. Illustrator, Ishtar Olivera, made the picture that was given to all the little guests. And Bea did all the rest…

One of my favorite things at the party…the “Yogurt and Toppings” stand! Bea made it with a clothing stand, two boxes and sack-cloth. Another darling element…the custom fruit stickers reading, “Happy Birthday Martina” and “Fruit Party”!

Such a great job, Beatriz! Thank you for submitting your party. Congratulations on being today’s winning party feature!

Organic Garden ‘You Pick’ Eco Friendly Party

My next winning party feature goes to this super unique ORGANIC ‘YOU PICK’ PARTY submitted by Elle Belle Creative. And that it is…CREATIVE! Stacey discovered a local hydroponic u-pick farm, First Fruits. Her daughter loved picking produce there so Stacey thought it would be the perfect place to have an end of school year celebration {including breakfast}. She knew it would be a great experience for the little ones, and something the parents would enjoy as well.

Eco Friendly invites ordered from Rethink Ink.

Green square plates were purchased at Ikea. Vinyl name decals purchased fromLime Tree Gifts. Paper straws from Isa Kay Boutique.

Darling gardening aprons were made for each guest. Notice the cute little name tags with miniature clothespins purchased from here.

Doilies {purchased from here} made up the table runner.

Overturned plant pots were used for seating…

The breakfast menu included orange juice, blueberries, muffins, applesauce, fresh berries with whipped cream, pudding “plants”, bagels and coffee.

The little ones made strawberry shortcake at the party and went home with their buckets of ‘pickings’, a strawberry huller {purchased here}, their gardening apron, an envelope with the adorable gnome paper crafts inside and mason jars filled with fruit dip.
