Western Cowboy Birthday Party

This fall we celebrated my nephew’s second birthday with a western cowboy birthday party. My sister had a couple different ideas in mind but eventually settled on the theme since he loves his rocking horse and the vintage Red Ryder Horse we have at our house.  

Western Cowboy Party

After a little convincing we moved her kitchen table outside and set the dessert table up in front of her shed in the back yard – I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

Western Cowboy Party

Creating a dessert table can be a little tricky when the guest of honor has an egg and peanut allergy. My sister found a wonderful road side stand that sells homemade pies and was able to order them with no egg wash. I made the s’more pops using oversize and regular marshmallow and we put my mom in charge of the haystacks. She substituted the peanut butter for sun-butter {made from sunflower seed} it surprisingly tasted the same.

Graduation Party {Another Happy Customer}

With graduation season right around the corner, now is a great time to introduce our new Graduation Party Printable Set and invitations. Last year my best friend had me design some items for her step daughters High School Graduation Party. The event was held at a family entertainment center that offered fun activities for kids of all ages. She did a wonderful job putting everything together – I especially love the extra large posters with the girls photos displayed so everyone could see.

Malibu Barbie Party {Another Happy Customer}

When I first saw the photos for this amazing Malibu Barbie Party featured on Amy Atlas I literally screamed {thank goodness no one was around, they would have thought I was crazy}.  Holly created this party to celebrate her daughter Madison’s birthday with a “Barbie in a Mermaid Tale” theme party.  She contacted me to customize our Malibu Barbie Party Collection to incorporate all of Madison’s favorite colors lavender, pink, peach and blue.  The dessert table is absolutely stunning – especially the over the top surf board cut outs that Holly and her husband created.

Paisley Petal Events has quickly become one of my favorite site for party inspirations, thank you so much for letting me share this wonderful party.

Cookies & Milk Party

As I was sifting through all the party photos I have yet to post, I realized that I skipped over my sweet nieces third birthday party – I’m such a bad Aunt. I had been wanting to create a cookies & milk party for some time so when my sister-in-law called me with the “Brookie’s Cookies & Milk” idea I was very excited to get started. She did such a good job putting everything together. From the homemade cake that looked like a giant chocolate chip cookie to the personalized aprons and cookie cutters that each kiddie received. The cookies in a jar gave my brother-in-law and sister-in-law quite the headache…but they did turn out delicious.

Romantic Engagement Party {Another Happy Customer}

This party was sent over from my wonderful friend Mary of ithink.Girl in Brazil. Mary was one of my first customer – she purchased the Airplane Collection for her husbands 30th Birthday party – and did an amazing job. Shortly after she contacted me to create a custom design for her good friends Tais & Renato Engagement Party. There is so many wonderful elements of this party, but I have to say the dessert spread is simply stunning.

Romantic Engagement Party - Centerpiece Circles

I love how they used the cupcake toppers to create a tree full of well wishes for the bride and groom to be. Centerpiece circles and cupcake toppers were strung to create a beautiful garland of decoration.

Boys Golf Birthday Party – Part 1

My little guy turned two over the summer and we celebrated with an oh-so-cute Golf Birthday Party. He is all boy and loves anything that includes a stick and ball, which made choosing the golf theme fairly easy. We had fun golfing games, snacks & treats and each little caddie even received there very own golf bag. The post was getting fairly large I decided to split it in two parts.  Part one covers the favor and dessert table and part two will focus on the food and games. Enjoy!

Golf Birthday Party Favors by 505-design.com

Each “Golf Pro” received his/her own set of golf clubs (thank you Target dollar section for saving the day!), a blue or green visor I purchased at Joann’s, practice golf balls and a water bottle to stay hydrated on the course.

Golf Birthday Party Favors by 505-design.com

I created the backdrop for the dessert table with a tan table cloth I had and pinned it to the window frame with thumb tacks (my husband wasn’t too happy about that one…opps!) I used 12” white tissue paper balls that I purchased from Devra Party and hung them by grosgrain ribbon.
I wanted to use items on the dessert table that went along with the theme so I racked my brain for some golf terms. The sign over the table was “Caddie’s Sweet Spot” (sweet spot refers to the center point of the face of the club).

Golf Birthday Party Dessert Table by 505-design.com

There was a “water hazard” ~ blue jell-o jigglers, “wormburners” (which is the term for a ball that skims the grass) ~ chocolate pudding pack topped with crumbled Oreos and gummy worms plus a sand trap of “doughnut hole in one” ~ made with powder sugar doughnuts and crumbled graham crackers for the sand.

Golf Cake Pops, Water Hazzard Jello & Doughnut Hole in One by 505-design.com

I also made cake pops that resembled golf balls ~ some like a lollipop and others with a golf flag and the number two for the birthday boy. The kids had a few candy choices and a small bag to fill so they could bring treats home.

Lemonade Party {as featured on Amy Atlas}

Excuse me for one second while I jump up and down {and scream}…AMY ATLAS!   I still can’t believe it!!!!  Just a month ago I told my soon to be sister-in-law to start following her site for some wedding ideas beacuse she has the BEST  dessert table inspiration.  And now, my Sassy little girl’s fourth birthday party is featured, crazy. {Excuse all the explination points too, I can’t controll myself!!}  Okay, now that I have gotten that out of my system, on to the party.

Lemonade Stand Birthday

Like only my mini-me could, my daughter picked the theme out last year ~ the day after her third birthday.  I was waiting for her to say Dora or a Princess Party but I got “Mom, next year I want a Lemomlade Party”.  What? Love it!   I had so much fun creating all the printables and putting together the whole event. The photos turned out gorgeous, thanks to my dear friend, Monica at Andary Studio.  I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed planning the party for my sassy little girl.

Lemonade Party Dessert Table

I decided to keep things classic, using the brick on our house for the backdrop , clean white linens and white stands for all the goodies.   I made the cake pops with the help of my two kiddies {they were mainly taste testers} and Bakerella’s fabulous book.  And used our local bakery for the cupcakes.

I wanted the table to focus on the Lemonade theme so I did limited amount of treats.  I had found the plastic pink and yellow jugs and glass containers for adding a pop of color.  I had the glass jars from the jam I was planning on canning last year , and the striped straws came from the wonderful girls at the Bakers Confection.

Lemonade Party Dessert Table

Each “Customer” received his/her own box of party goods, filled with lots of back to school supplies, since her party was the week before school started.

Lemonade Party

I purchased the plain white gable boxes at Oriental Trading and embellished them with striped pattern paper and I used the printable food label on sticker paper as a Thank You Tag.

Lemonade Party Favors

Look at these two best friends, probably my favorite photos from the whole day.

2011 Printable Halloween Collection

I am very excited to share our brand new Printable Halloween Collection.  When I sat down to create this Halloween Party set I wanted to make sure it included all the things you would need to celebrate this spooktaculor holiday. Weather you are having a monstrous Halloween bash or a fun play date, this set has you covered! A big thanks to Monica at Andary Studio , she did an amazing job capturing all the photos.

I backed the Enter {at your own risk} party sign with some black sparkly cardstock and bright purple cutout spider web cardstock paper.

I filled my kids toy storage container with all the party goodies.  These little cubbies are great for kid friendly parties because everything is at there level.
