Spring is definitely in the air!! We love this sweet Spring Garden Ladybug party theme; it is just perfect for this time of year as the warmer weather is starting to peak through the chilly winter days. Sweet Gabriella’s 1st birthday party was held at a local favorite park

Some details to look for include:
-Custom ladybug cake and smash cake
-Garden ladybug cake ball pops
-Cute caterpillar snack tubes filled with grapes
-Mini picnic baskets holding snacks and doubling as favors
-Pin the spots on the ladybug game

Main Dessert Table
We utilized the park’s picnic table and benches for our main table’s set up. We covered it in a high quality paper tablecloth, then used green and white lattice gift wrap as a table runner. The centerpiece of the table were Gabriella’s gorgeous two tiered cake and her coordinating smash cake, both created by Stacey Fuller of Whoo’s Bakery. To either side of the cakes were two cute white wooden fence displays showcasing ladybug cake ball pops from Angie’s Cake and mini pinwheels. To add height to the table, we used white tulips in pink and green gardening containers. And to add a bit of whimsy, Gabriella’s mom created caterpillar gumball tubes filled with grapes for kids to snack on.

Party Favors
In keeping with the theme and park venue, we thought it was a sweet concept to serve guests snacks in individual child-sized picnic baskets, which also double as a party favor. Each of the baskets had a sweet favor tag tied to them using green raffia which said, “Thanks for Buzzing By”. I know my toddlers absolutely love putting things in and out of any type of container, basket or box; so, these were certainly a hit!

Whenever I stumble across a cute saying or holiday idea, I can hardly wait to see it come to fruition!

These fun "Pinch Proof" bracelets are a silly little way to have fun this St Patrick's Day for everyone of all ages.

Simple print, trim and secure with glue or tape for a fun fashion accessory. For toddler sturdiness, consider laminating the bracelets once trimmed. While they may not keep you safe from pinches, they will surely make you and others around you smile a bit brighter.

Enjoy!

Our spunky little cowgirl’s 2nd birthday party was a reflection of her personality; sweet & sassy, a little bit of Texas with a touch of frill.

Some details to look for include:
-The hand painted horse canvas backdrop
-Fabric garland banner on the main food table
-Individual hat sippy cups for each guest
-Custom designed 2-tier birthday cake
-Horse inspired cake ball pops

Main Dessert Table

This table proudly featured Nora’s 2-tier, custom designed birthday cake from Whoo’s Bakery, horse cake ball pops by Angie’s Cake, bulk snacks served in apple baskets and a horse’s favorite snacks, apples and carrots. Fitting with the party theme, we used a hand-made pink ruffle table covering adorned with a handmade fabric garland in the party’s colors (personally handmade by grandma). To add to the table’s backdrop which will double as a piece of art in the birthday girl’s room was a hand painted horse canvas.

Children’s Table

One of my favorite things to design is the children’s table. We were inspired by the pink/brown/white color palette found in the printable collection and were fortunate to find these sweet horseshoe cake plates which worked beautifully when set against the white snack plates, pink bandana silverware wraps, pink cowboy hat sippy cups and brown place mats. Our centerpieces included her brother’s cowboy boots filled with flowers and a galvanized tub full of party favors (plush horses). To encourage the guests to ‘cowboy-up’, each place setting was topped off with a pink or brown hat we found at our local Dollar Tree.
