Fresh on the Farm Collection: Maggie's 2nd Birthday Party

Alrighty friends, prepare yourself. This is one sweet party! Such cute details, an adorable birthday girl and beautiful photography! Maggie's 2nd Birthday....

The beautiful photos are compliments of Andrea Wood Photography. You can become a fan of her Facebook page HERE or visit her website HERE. If you are in the Atlanta area and need a photographer, check her out! This is my absolute favorite picture that she captured. That would be a framer!Be still my heart! Could the birthday girl be any cuter?! Love her adorable red barn smocked dress! I am a sucker for smocking!
Maggie's creative momma did an adorable job of pulling together all the details! I love the centerpiece topped with the coordinating welcome sign. She purchased the hay bales from Michaels and found all the animals in the dollar bins at Target! She used gingham throughout the party including The Sweet Peach paper decor, fabric table square and gingham plates from Oriental Trading.
One cute detail not captured in the pictures were the signs leading to the backyard. Maggie's momma put "Moooove this way", "Baaaack here" and "Ewe made it!" What fun awaiting when they arrived!
The menu for this barnyard bash included the adorable "Hay Bales" of pretzels and hemp string, "Maggie's Garden" of veggies, "Cow Tails" aka string cheese, and "Orchard Fruits" which were bushel baskets filled with whole apples and pears.
All the drinks were held in a red wheel barrow. Love that! Horizon individual milks with the cute cow logo, farm juice boxes from Trader Joes and water bottles with coordinating gingham wraps from the Fresh on the Farm Collection were ready for the little guests.
This was one great petting zoo! The animals seem so sweet and gentle according to the pictures and Maggie's momma raved about the Little Red Barn Petting Farm. Visit their website. It made me laugh! I was expected a little "country" website, but instead was greeted by all the friends. Very cute!
This picture should be a pretty good testimony for their business! Maggie's big brother had plenty of fun too!
Another Target dollar bin find! Now this one is awesome! How perfect are these red barn favor bags?! The felt barn bags were filled with small favor bags of the plastic farm animals, farm bubbles from Party City and a personalized sippy cup by The Paperdoll. That is one great party favor!

And cupcake toppers in coordinating gingham cupcake bake cups to top it all off...


Great work, Paula!! And Happy 2nd Birthday to you, sweet Maggie! We can't wait to see what your momma has up her sleeve for next year! :)

County Fair Party Collection: Mallory's 2nd Birthday Party!

I just love ALL the possibilities of this new party collection! Check out Mallory's 2nd birthday party and you'll love it too! :) Awesome job, Jill!!! And a big thank you to my dear friend Holly for all the pictures and photo collages. You can see more of her work at Holly Kittle Photography!
Mallory's very talented daddy made the cherry pie-pops! How good do those look?! You can find the recipe on Bakerella. The adorable popcorn boxes can be bought at Hobby Lobby and the checkered donut wraps were found at World Market. Pumpkin donuts.... such a perfect idea for a fall party!
Mallory's creative momma made the fabric banner above the food table and used empty wrapping paper rods to display.
A mini banner for the adorable birthday cake! For those local to the Chattanooga area, the cake was designed by Piece-a-Cake bakery in Collegedale, TN.
Favor tags from the County Fair Collection along with a mini petting zoo for all the party guests.
Every county fair needs some fun games!! There was a ring toss game using glass bottles in antique Coke cases. Gold and Silver wrapped chocolates were hidden in the pile of cedar chips for the coin dig and Mallory's daddy put together a barn of hay bales and boards. What fun!!
The tin can toss game was made by wrapping some empty paint cans from Ace Hardware and the adorable bean bag toss game came from Hobby Lobby. Love Hobby Lobby!

Mallory's grandmother surprised party guests with pony rides! So perfect!
Happy Birthday Mallory! What a fun celebration of you!! Can't wait to see what your momma dreams up next! :)

Monkey Party Invitation and Ideas

Last spring, I designed this invitation for a customer and have continued to sell it to monkey after monkey! :) Change the colors, customize the wording and you have a brand new monkey party. My most recent customer requested the following primary colors and it has been my favorite so I wanted to share.

I also found this adorable party that goes along with my monkey birthday collection just perfectly!! You can see more pictures of this "Monkey See, Monkey Do" birthday at karaspartyideas.com. Kara posts adorable pictures every day from real parties so it is a wonderful place to look for great ideas on how to use all my paper goodies. If you see something on her blog, but can't find it here, let me know and I'm sure I can whip it up.

Classic Carriage Collection: Mandy's Baby Shower!

A few weekends ago, I was honored to help host a baby shower for one of my BFFs, Mandy. Mandy and I met in graduate school, moved to Atlanta together, lived together, taught 3rd grade at the same school together and got married 3 weeks apart. The only thing left was to have babies together. So here we are...Mandy is expecting her first little girl in January and I will be expecting again in April! Check, check, we are pretty good at this! :)

Here is the collection I put together for her special day. My favorite decorating detail was the classic carriage that I borrowed from my mom. It was her stroller as a baby and was the perfect welcome scene for this classic carriage shower...

Sweet Shoppe Collection: Molly's 1st Birthday!!

With lots of inspiration from the girls' lollipop party, I put together a cupcake sweet shoppe for Molly's 1st birthday! Molly's momma had already found her adorable tank top and bib from MakMay Designs so I designed her invites and party decor to go along with her cupcake party outfit. I just love all the bright colors and the bazillion ideas that come along with any kind of sweet shoppe theme! Of all the details, the toothbrush favor was my favorite! I thought that was the perfect addition to the candy buffet! :)
