Monkeying around with Curious George and Birthday Boy Hudson was loads of fun for the family and friends that came to celebrate Hudson’s 2nd birthday!  Mom Cara, of One Swell Studio, designed the paper products and the party as she hosted an adorable celebration for her son! Check out these birthday party ideas.

This cute cake was perfect for incorporating the colors of the party and the theme!

Cara baked a smash cake for Hudson in the shape of a banana!  How fun!

Other treats on the dessert table included sugar cookies, candy cups, cake balls, popcorn, and gummies…

I love the drink bottles tied with a bow!

I also love the invitation that Cara designed and the fact that she asked guests to sign a Curious George book!

The idea of having each guest write a short message to Hudson on his birthday is such a sweet keepsake!

The Birthday Boy looked dapper and adorable in his Curious George inspired outfits!

What a great party for such a good little monkey!  Thanks for sharing, Cara!

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”. 

Birthday Party Ideas for a Teen- How to Celebrate a TEEN

Wow! My daughter turned into a teen!  Sometimes it can be tricky to decide what to do to celebrate this milestone.  I wanted to share with you some ideas that may help if you want to mark the occasion but also keep it low-key.  At first, my daughter wanted to have a very large sleepover to celebrate.  I loved it that she wanted to include everyone she knew, but laughed at the thought of trying to corral close to 30 tweens and teens! So, I told her she could have a little, bitty, teeny sleepover and her “real” party could be bubble soccer (which she had been begging to do at this huge sleepover she was planning ).  So, realizing the play on words with a “teeny” party, we went with the TEENY theme and used as many miniature things as we could.  It was such a fun theme and the ideas could go on forever…but this is what we decided on for her teeny, little sleepover.

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY

What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books!  I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series.  It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie!  Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way.  At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books,  and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
