This sweet VINTAGE BIRTHDAY PARADE THEMED PARTY was submitted by Carlota Zambrano of criando-ando.

There are so many things to love about this casual vintage birthday parade party at Central Park in New York. First off, I love how Carlota used and displayed the darling Birthday Parade Themed Party Supplies from Kara’s Party Shop! Everything was adorable. A few of my favorite elements are:

The partially inflated balloons attached to paper straws and used as cake toppers
The toy horse and cart cardboard centerpiece filled with fresh flowers
The vintage Belle & Boo favor tins
and MORE!

Carlota said this about the party- “When I was selecting the theme for my daughter Eugenia’s second birthday party, I came across the Belle and Boo Birthday Parade party range in Kara’s Party Shop and instantly fell in love. The vintage vibe and colorful illustrations caught my eye and then I realized that Belle reminded me of Eugenia with her brown hair and kind spirit.

The party was a very casual one held on a playground in Central Park. I kept it sweet and dreamy with mainly white, pink and red, and then added touches of colors in balloons and in the colorful number 2 piñata.

It was a lovely spring afternoon and Eugenia enjoyed it very much!”

This cute ALPHABET ABC THEMED SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Tierney Williams of Tints and Prints by Tierney.

I love how the simplicity of this theme is taken up a level in this party by all of the unique items that were brought in from various Etsy shops.

The chalkboard printables
The small cake made to look like a toy block with fondant letters on the sides and striped paper straws along the edges
The mini composition book party favors
The alphabet cereal served in cupcake liners
The fork, knife and napkin packaged together in notebook paper favor bags

Tierney said this about the party- “Planning birthday parties is an art, an adventure and a memory in the making. As our youngest son turned 2, we decided to put a modern spin on an ABC Party. As the owner of Tints and Prints by Tierney, I challenge myself to create unique birthday parties for my boys. And when I need those unique, one-of-a-kind ideas, I shop on Etsy for just about everything. My parties start with the invitation design, of course, and everything falls into place from there. ABC decorations, books, crayon favors, notebook paper bags, chalkboard and chevron accents…need I say more? Adding these modern twists to a traditional ABC party sounded like fun and were a hit with the school of cousins we had over.

Aside from the birthday party invitation and coordinating party items, this Alphabet ABC Chalkboard Birthday Party features 5 other products from other Etsy shops. Personalized crayons, adorable fabric buntings, custom made fondant for the cake, party straws and paper bags, and the cutest Tooth Fairy pillow gift you’ve ever seen…all wonderful products. Each custom and personalized item made our party one for the books!”

Car Themed 2nd Birthday Party

This modern CAR THEMED SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Melissa of The Cake Boutique.

Some of my favorite ideas in this car themed party are:

The popcorn served in cupcake liners since smaller portions were needed
The black favor bags made to resemble a road
The fruit kebabs threaded onto plastic straws- a safer option for little guests
and MORE!

This is what Melissa said about planning the party- “My son, Finley, turned two and we threw him a car themed party (his two favourite words are Cake and Car), styled around his birthday gift, a red ride-on retro tin car. We wanted it to be bright and clean, so stuck to a red colour palette with accents of blue. Grey chevrons provided a fun geometric backdrop which we repeated in the cake design. The gorgeous paperie was custom made to incorporate the theme. Guests enjoyed a variety of motor themed sweets and treats, including vanilla bean cupcakes, Mint Chocolate marshmallow tires, Jelly Fuel, Nuts and Bolts popcorn, Road sign chocolates and custom made Belgian chocolate cars.

The conservatory was converted into a mini race track with toy cars and ride-on vehicles for the kids to play with and the ceiling was strung with giant balloons in the main party colours.

The tiny guests were given a custom made Road party bag filled with toy cars, car shaped chocolates and a car bath squirter.”

Sweets and Paperie: Pick and Mix Buffet
Car chocolates: The Chocolate House
