Modern Silhouette Birthday Party

Color Palette: Green, Black and White, Hot Pink

Patterns: Swiss Dot, Exploded Lattice

Elements: Modern Silhouette, Monogram

Most kids’ parties are planned around a theme: a princess, a train, a beloved character. For this party, I decided to think outside the box to create a stunning girl’s birthday party sans the traditional princess theme! Here you will find ideas for a preppy-silhouette themed party in a fresh green, black and white color palette with a fun pop of hot pink….. a stylish party for any fair maiden.

The important elements in this chapter include: a whimsical table setting, a delicious dessert table with color-coordinated sweets, a recipe for a simple, striped ice cream treat, and a fashionable DIY project that will make each guest party-ready!

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time! My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun! Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes! For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor! So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child!

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!”.
