This is what Stephanie said about planning the party- “This year, I decided to throw a joint birthday party for my kids, Isabella (7) & Tristan (4). Being in the wedding industry myself, I tackled the party with lots of DIY projects. My husband and I built our own ticket and food booths from picket fencing. These turned out so cute and made such an impact on the party. I made signs for all of the booths and games with my Silhouette Cameo. When our guests walked in, they were greeted at the Ticket Booth and were given tickets for all of the activities and food.

The piece of resistance of the party was the sweet bar that we did. We saw a photo of a table top canopy and used it as an inspiration to build our own. With red/white stripe fabric as a backdrop, we covered the table with all kinds of candy and desserts. Debbie LaRue of Debbie’s Delights made the birthday cakes for the kids. For Isabella, her cake had an ice cream cone theme and for Tristan, Debbie made him a popcorn theme cake. My cousin and I made cupcakes covered in caramel popcorn and mini ice cream cone cake balls to carry out the theme of the cakes. I used glass vases, dresser drawers, old crates and metal accessories to house all of the goodies. Kerry’s KupKakes & Kookies provided the adorable 3-D Carnival cupcakes and not only were they beautiful, they were absolutely delicious. For additional color, I made some fabric bunting banners to embellish the skirting of the sweet table.

For food, we served the guests popcorn, hot dogs & nachos, sno-cones, cotton candy, peanuts, lemonade and real carnival food. My husband’s co-workers came out and made crawfish pistolettes, funnel cake, fried oreos and boudain balls for the carnival goers. As mentioned earlier, we made the food booths with picket fencing and painted them to create red/white stripes. I draped some plastic red/white striped table covers over metal frames to complete the carnival booths.

We offered plenty of games and activities for the kids (and adults). These included: Balloon Darts, Tic-Tac-Toe Toss, Ping Pong Glass Toss, Ring Toss, Duck Pond, Face Painting, Balloon Twisting, Bounce House and the most popular activity, a trackless train that drove everyone around our neighborhood. We found an old Coke Cola cart during one of our flea market trips and drank a case of Coke bottles for the Ring Toss. My cousin who is going to art school volunteered to be our artist for the Face Painting booth and the kids absolutely loved him. Another cousin twisted hundreds of balloons that day and probably became an expert by the end of the day.

One of the most memorable things from the party was Chloe the Clown. My kids’ aunt came to the party in full clown attire and the kids loved her funny antics.

Before the kids left, they traded their winning tickets for various prizes that were displayed on our Prize Booth. This was a big hit for the kids. By the end of the party, we only had a handful of prizes left on the table.

So much work and many long hours went into planing and executing this party for my kids but it was so worth it. My daughter told me this was her favorite party and wished she could relive that day again. Knowing that they enjoyed every moment of it made all the hard work worth it.”

Ice Cream Themed 2nd Birthday Party

This ICE CREAM THEMED SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Leticia Badillo of Parttis in Mexico. Looking at this party, I feel like I’m in an actual ice cream shop. Every detail is just perfect!

Some of my favorite elements of this ice cream party are:
The cake pops made to look like ice cream scoops in a cone
The feminine touch of the pearls piped around the smashed ice cream cone cake
The ice cream shaped bubble party favors
The ice cream cart displaying the cake pops
and MORE!

This is what Leticia said about planning the party- “This was my daughter’s 2nd birthday party. She loves ice cream, so I thought that it would be a great theme for the party and she really loved it. I cannot describe the excitement I felt as she, at this age, thanked me for everything. She realized all the time and effort we spent on every single detail. She was surprised and excited as she saw the place transformed into an ice cream shop. I just can’t forget her little face at that moment. The thing I loved the most was the Styrofoam ice creams we made as centerpieces, they turned out great! People asked me where we bought them, but no, we created them!!  I’d like to give a big thank you to my mother, Leticia! She really helped me out with a lot of things in the party, including the centerpieces. We gave ice cream plates as favors and ice cream bubbles to the kids. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures of the little bags everyone received.”

Barbie Ice Cream Shop 4th Birthday Party

This BARBIE ICE CREAM SHOP FOURTH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Mariana Zago of Mariana Zago Party Design is absolutely adorable! What a fun twist on your regular ice cream party- add Barbie to the mix! Love it!

Mariana said this about planning the party- “When my client asked for a Barbie themed party for her 4 year old, she wanted me to do the same dessert table I had done a month ago for her best friend’s daughter. I felt that the little birthday girl deserved something completely original and custom made just for her! That’s why I had to come up with different Barbie themed alternatives. The theme she most liked was the “Barbie Ice Cream Shop”. I loved the opportunity to create a french-style shop, adding a Barbie glamourous look to it! Our chef, Riki Carolei, and I made and decorated all the sweets making them ice cream shaped. The party favors were these cute cupcake/ice-cream jars, filled with m&ms for the kids.”

Here is what Melissa had to say about planning the party- ”This past weekend was my twins’ 5th birthday party! They decided on an ice cream theme…as we started planning it kind of took on a “happy” theme too! We have been working on a few new illustrations, so we did a new one for this party {available here}.

We wanted the party to be playful, colorful and of course happy so we choose pinks, peach and mint green as a party palette. We made a small sweet table covered with a pink and white polka dot ruffled table cloth. We hung colorful paper poms and an made an “oh happy day” glittered bunting garland to go above the table! We filled the table with chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes with two birthday cupcakes topped with our diy straw birthday candles and homemade marshmallows with fringe toppers! We also made ice cream cone cake pops and our favorite tiny tim cookies. Finally, we displayed a mini birthday cake on my pink milk glass pedestal complete with the little clothes pin cake topper we made.

One of our very favorite aspects to the party was the diy ice cream cone chandelier! {diy tutorial here} Our sweet friend and diy correspondent, Katie, created this project for us and we absolutely adore the way all of the different colored ice cream cones looked hanging on the white chandelier! Although we wanted to keep them all to ourselves, we let each little girl choose one to take home! But we had a few extra to keep ♥! We loved how the girls all put them around their necks…ice cream necklaces!

Since this was of course an ice cream party, we also set up a little diy ice cream topping parlor. We made an over-sized cupcake flag that said “make your ice cream happy” and coordinating ice cream topping flags that we put on paper straws and stuck into the toppings. We hung a big vanilla colored pom with peach fringe over the shelf. We took white ice cream cups and taped wooden “i ♥ ice cream spoons” on them with striped washi tape! The girls got to make their own sundaes, which they loved! Then they got to fill up their bakery boxes with treats to bring home!”
