Amanda, of Shindig Parties to Go, put this bowling party together for her daughter and made it one stylish affair full of great ideas that she shares with us! Even better, she pulled it all together in one week! With mad graphic design skills, a huge creative flair, and an all-nighter, Amanda thought of everything to make this party one that will BOWL you over!
The details of the sweets table are fantastic! Amanda designed all of the party stationery (and offers it in her shop!) Popcorn is served in the cutest little bowling boxes…
Candy bars wrapped perfectly…
Amanda made the adorable marshmallow pops by dipping the tops in candy melts and adding a chocolate candy and three white dots- instant bowling ball!
I love the gumball display around the pops…simple with a big impact!
The cupcakes are store-bought and then topped with colorful bowling toppers by Edible Details~
Amanda also added toppers from the collection that she designed~
I love the perfect mix of patterns and colors- notice the ribbons on each cupcake topper!
Cookies were also topped with fondant toppers made by Edible Details…
Even the water bottles were ready for the party!
The kids had a blast bowling and winning awards!
Amanda was ready with other games and activities to keep the fun rolling along…
How clever is “Strike a Pose”? Just perfect for a photo booth at a bowling party!
The table where the party bowlers enjoyed their goodies was another part of the party that Amanda designed so perfectly. I love how she used a simple strip of black and white wrapping paper as a runner in the middle of the table. I also LOVE that she made her daughter feel extra-special with a chair decorated just for her!
Her place setting was extra-special, too…
Amanda truly thought of every little detail…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MACY! Your mom is a delight, and I always love seeing her creativity take over!
Thank you, Amanda! Find more details and DIY tricks from Amanda at Shindig Parties to Go!

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!

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!
