“The Lorax” Themed Party – Dr. Suess Party

This LORAX THEMED DESSERT TABLE submitted by Marjaneh Etebar of Candybar Couture is too cute! All the party elements are just adorable. This would be such a fun birthday party theme. I love all the ideas Marjaneh had!
Marjaneh said- “I have always been a huge fan of the Dr. Seuss books. I went to see the movie ‘The Lorax’ with my youngest son, Jayden. Halfway through the movie, he turned to me and said, ‘Mommy, I have the bestest idea. I will help you make a Lorax candy table!’
It was Jayden’s idea to make a table full of grass and trees. We took a plastic green table cloth and glued Easter grass all over it. We continued the grass on the back drop to resemble the hills. Next, we used tissue pom poms to resemble the Truffula Trees. We looked around our candy collection and he came up with candy that reminded him of different parts of the story. I love how the twisted marshmallows reminded him of Thneeds! Not bad for a four year old!!!
My older son, Ethan gave us the idea of using cotton candy to resemble the Truffula Trees on the buffet. It was important to them both that we use some fresh fruits and vegetables because they noticed that in the movie, no one had access to fresh produce.
This table was especially fun to create because it was a project for the whole family. I especially love the adorable cake and cake pops.”

Lorax Themed Fruit Farm Birthday Party

This LORAX THEMED FRUIT FARM BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Rebecca Horikawa of The Left Coast Mama is just too cute! Take a look at the truffula tree cupcakes!

Rebecca said- “We celebrated my daughter’s 6th birthday with a Lorax theme party at a local organic farm. The theme was perfect for an outdoor party, and I kept it as eco-friendly and natural as possible. The candy buffet was filled with naturally colored candies and organic treats. Guests enjoyed a tractor ride around the organic farm and sampled fresh vegetables during the tour. At the end of the tour, all of the kids picked fresh organic strawberries to eat – and a container to bring home. After we finished picking strawberries, it was time for the party! For lunch, there was cold-cuts, cheese, and rolls, as well as an antipasto salad. There was a small candy buffet filled with naturally colored chocolate candies, home-made candy dots on paper strips (naturally colored), organic chocolate graham bears, all natural mini marshmallows, whole grain cheddar goldfish crackers, and rock candy sticks in orange, yellow, and light blue (the only thing that I couldn’t find without artificial coloring). Naturally colored yellow chocolate mustache lollipops were displayed as centerpieces on the tables in vintage wooden boxes. For dessert, homemade cupcakes with naturally colored butter cream frosting and truffula tree cake pops (also naturally colored). Most of the decor was do-it-yourself projects, which helped to keep costs low. I made utensil containers out of cans, and added ribbon around them to spruce them up. The flatware was made of bamboo. I made the tablecloth from fabric, and the yellow mustache utensil holders were cut out of yellow felt (I glued a small strip of felt to the back so that I could slip the fork into it. I cut out yellow mustaches from card stock and made a hole for the straw to go through. The mini mason jars were purchased from Acme Party Box and I filled them with Orange Juice. I made the “truffula tree” poufs from tissue paper and twine. The faux grass was purchased from Lowes and I cut it into a runner for the table. I also made the “happy birthday” bunting from card stock and twine. I glued a penny between the 2 layers, near the bottom tip of each triangle, to keep them weighted down.” Vendors and Credits: Venue- Tanaka Farms in Irvine, California Gingham fabric (to make tablecloth): Fabric Direct Chocolate mustache lollipops mold- Streich’s Cake and Candy Supply Koziol Babell White Tiered Tray- Amazon Items used in this party that are available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop- Lime Green White Polka Dot Baking Cups Wooden Utensils Mason Jar Drinking Glasses Apothecary Jars Tissue Pom Poms Paper Straws Rock Candy Sticks

Dr. Seuss 1st Birthday Party

Who out there is a big Dr. Seuss fan?! You will love this DR SEUSS THEMED 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Heidi Tranisi. This theme is just per fect for a child’s birthday party.

“We were very lucky to get an invitation to the Lorax premiere in LA at Universal Studios a few months ago and when we attended the “orange” carpet event our little Luca had the best time. This inspired me to use Dr. Seuss as the inspiration for his first birthday party. By the end of the decorating our house looked like Suessville! It was the best party; I think the adults had more fun than the children!” Dr Seuss party supplies available here.
