I always enjoy seeing a book brought to life for a child’s party! This set of sisters had a fantastic Princess and the Pea Party designed by their mom and sent to me by Lauren Haddox Designs. Lauren designed the party paper and mom, Courtney Richards, designed the party!
Courtney collected baby mattresses from friends and had sheets made to fit and match the party. The bed was set up to set the theme of the party as soon as the girls walked in the door! Courtney also had a host of breakfast treats waiting for the girls to enjoy~
For breakfast, the girls enjoyed breakfast casserole, pancakes, bacon, eggs, donuts, fruit, pop tarts, cereal bar, and cupcakes and “pea” cake pops.
Courtney had crafts for the girls to make and games to play~ like this one with handmade blindfolds for each child. Each girl had a turn to try to “pin the pea on the mattress”!
The girls also painted wooden peg dolls to represent their “princess”. The peg dolls were part of their party favors!
Each girl could select her own “mattresses” to stack so that her princess could have a bed~
And, they put their princess on top for a cute little party favor!
What a cute party! Thank you for sending the party our way, Lauren! Here is party mom, Courtney with her two birthday girls!

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!”.

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!
