When this party from doting mom, Sibel, arrived in my inbox, I couldn’t help but smile at the happy and darling photos of a family so sweetly celebrating a birthday girl’s first year!  Sibel went all out with a pink and blue color scheme and a glamorous feel.  There were even a few wardrobe changes for sweet Asya~  Enjoy this first birthday celebration with such proud parents and a loving family surrounding the special girl!

Mom Sibel chose allergy-free treats for the party fare due to her son’s severe allergies.  She shows us how beautifully-done gluten and egg-free treats can be!

The mini gumball machines are an adorable addition!

Sibel used gorgeous flowers and touches of silver to accent the pink and blue~

The backyard was transformed into a lovely pink and blue haven, and Sibel didn’t leave off anything!  I love how she even dressed the fence with coordinating fans…mommy and birthday girl!

How lovely is the family and the cake display?

I think Big Brother is excited to celebrate!

And he is quite good at sharing his ice cream with his little sister!

Just don’t let anyone take away her lollipop!

Nothing a little rocking horse can’t fix!

What a joy to share your daughter’s first birthday, Sibel!  Thank you for your party inspiration and for showing us how beautiful an allergy-free party can be!  Happy Birthday, ASYA!

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. 

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!”. 

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!
