For a little girl who wants to be a professional show jumper when she grows up, this Vintage Pink Pony Party is just perfect!  Gretchen, of Three Little Monkeys Studio, designed this party for her daughter and incorporated all things pony, pink, and girlie!  This party would make any birthday girl trot proudly!

The gorgeous styling creates a vintage vibe- Gretchen found trophies and horseshoes in antique stores and added them to create a soft feel to the party.  I also love the tassel garland- it mimics horse tails and is such a great touch.

The desserts are a mix of custom-designed treats and store-bought treats that were dressed up.  What a great way to incorporate a bit of each!  These beautiful marshmallow pops are strawberry flavored that are dipped in almond bark and rolled in pink sugar pearl sprinkles.  They are lovely!

Oreo Cakesters are made beautiful for the party by adding white pearl sprinkles and a paper flag horse topper for a special touch!

The custom cookies are adorable!  Ponies and award ribbons- a horse-lover’s dream!

Gretchen made homemade marshmallows in the shape of ponies…

Gretchen also served a selection of special drinks. 

I love the idea of serving Shirley Temples in a glass jar with lids customized for the party.  Gretchen’s mom spray painted horse figurines and the jar tops.  She glued the horses to the tops- what a great idea!

The sweet favor bags included horse stickers and headbands~

Thank you for sharing such a lovely party with us, Gretchen!  And, I just adore the photo of the sweet Birthday Girl having her party hat put on by her mom! Precious!

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!”. 

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.
