real party: supergirl party

April 26, 2011

This party took place a while ago but its just so darn cute that we had to share here.  Its a Supergirl themed party by the blogger behind Tortoise and the Hare – and every detail is so sweet we can hardly resist it!

We don’t need to say much — just take a look!  These first few photos were part of a photo shoot that took place prior to the party.  We think this is a great idea — that way you have a better chance of getting those photos you want of the birthday girl/boy.

Darling invites with equally darling clothespins!

We love that the details are simple, sweet and very thoughtful.

And how fun is this?  BINGO with color-themed M & M’s!

Darling, right?   Now we want to have a Supergirl party!  See more photos on the Tortoise and the Hare blog.

think outside the box!

April 25, 2011

We pretty much believe you can build off of anything to create a party theme.  Like this cardboard box party!

This is a great example that with a little creativity, a few fun colors and fun but not over-the-top touches you can have a fantastic, memorable party!  We absolutely adore this party.

candy walls

April 20, 2011

We’re constantly inspired by the styling for JCrew’s kids line, Crewcuts. The use of candy in this campaign from last year certainly lends itself to a slew of party ideas. An entire wall of candy buttons? Kids would be all over that. Literally, all over that.

real party: camping party

April 19, 2011

We’re thrilled to share with you the birthday party that Melanie of Lucky + Lovely threw for daughter Zoe’s 8th birthday.

The theme for the party was “Camp Zoe” and it was complete with a s’mores bar, nature hunt and custom photo booth.  The invitation was a custom shape with a mini flashlight in bright colors.  So fun and we love green and aqua blue color palette with pops of hot pink.

At arrival, each child was given a custom printed camp t-shirt, headband and canvas bag to collect their nature hunt specimens!

Take a look at this beyond fun chocolate fudge birthday cake — so fantastic and perfect for the occasion!

In addition to a menu of Zoe’s favorite foods, the children were treated to a sweets buffet of custom cookies by Dandy Delights, s’mores bar with flavored marshmallows and lots of candy.


We adore this party and big thanks to Melanie for sharing!  Your creativity is inspiring!
