AJ’s Surfs Up Birthday Party

I recently styled my son’s Surfs Up Party to celebrate his 3rd birthday!  Originally, we planned on a shark party ~ but I changed it last minute after seeing the adorable Surf Legend Collection at Gymboree.   I love the blue, orange & brown color scheme and my friend happen to have a bin full of Hawaiian decorations left over from my Bachelorette Party {let’s just say we could not stop laughing when we opened the storage container;-) }

Boys Surfing Party

The surfboard backdrop inspiration came from Holly at Paisley Petal Events.  My husband is not much of a handyman so cutting out surfboard shapes from plywood- as simple as it may have been – would be TOTALLY out of the question.  Instead I created a mini version using a 20 x 30 photo print,  foam board and the Centerpiece Circles (tutorial coming soon!).

Surfing Party Cupcakes

Surfing Party

I love making the sweets and treats for my little ones parties.  This year I made cake pops, chocolate covered Oreos and shark bite donuts. I’m way to OCD to attempt the cupcakes so I left those to the professionals.

Surf Board Cookies

My sister stepped in to save the day after I COMPLETELY forgot to pick up the cookies from the bakery…OOPS.  She did a great job considering it was an hour or two before the party.

Surf Party Favor Bags

Each little surfer received his/her own bag of goodies.  They especially loved the shark snack container filled with Skittles (per the birthday boys request).

Surf Party Food

For dinner I served chicken kabobs and an assortment of yummy summer salads

Little Surfer Boys

The best part of the whole day was watching these two surfer dudes hang ten on the surf boards!

I am still in disbelief  that I have a THREE year old and  nearly 5 year old:(
I really don’t know where the time has gone but I am trying to enjoy every last second with both of them

New Party Themes Added to the Shop

I am the world’s worst blogger.  With that said I am so sorry for being fairly silent around the website lately, as you can tell from the lack of posts life has been crazy and I don’t know how to say no to people (but that’s okay I love what I do).  Now that this is in writing for the world to see, I am planning on posting at least once a week – maybe even twice a week (okay, that’s totally pushing it, but I’ll try).    Here is some the craziness I have been working on the past month.

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.
