Time to add another Etsy shop to your favorites. Steph Loves Ben is full of cute homemade party decorations. That happy birthday garland needs to find a permanent residence in my party closet.
Circus has definitely been one of the most popular party themes over the last couple of years and we can see why. With bold colors, stripes and fun foods, how can you go wrong? Sarah threw this sweet big top birthday for her little one year old son, Chase, and did a fantastic job playing up the fun circus elements and eliminating any of the creepy. 
We love the table of homemade hats!
All the food is so cute and scrumptious looking!
See more of the cute details on Sarah’s blog.

We thought it would be fun to take something as fun and simple as a lollipop and create a whole party around it. Here are just a few sweet ideas of what you could do!

Need something to do with all those pretty photos you took from the last party you thew? If yes, be sure to check out Pinhole Press. We love their clean, modern but sweet designs (at great price points too!).
These would also make fantastic gifts!
Happy Friday, all! And happy Mother’s day. We hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Heidi designed these genius flip book invitations for her son’s eighth birthday. We’re wondering if the recipients stopped playing with them long enough to actually go to the party.

We’re feeling inspired to pull out the tissue paper today to make our home ready for a fiesta with fringe garlands and Mexican paper flowers. Both projects are easy enough for your kids to join in.
Since last week we posted a sweet supergirl party we wanted to show some more fun things you could do with a superhero party. Both of these parties are by the super duper talented Hello Naomi and scissors.paper.cake. There’s so much inspiration here – just take a look!
We love this joint party for a boy and a girl — perfect color palette! And the cake! 
And this is a party from last year but there were so many great details we had to share.
We adore the pops of color with the bold but simple details for both of these parties. Now we want to throw a superhero party!
Happy May! We can hardly believe its already May (but that means summer is just around the corner!). Cinco de Mayo is this week and we thought it would be fun to share these goodies from the talented One Charming Party.
Isn’t this a sweet, festive invitation?
And we’re loving these mini pinatas. Great for any party!
See the full tutorial on the One Charming Party blog here. Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!
We thought this would be a fitting post today – what about a birthday crown instead of a birthday hat? We think that would make the birthday boy/girl feel pretty special!
