Morning, all! Did you catch yesterday’s pastel rainbow birthday for twins? Always fun to see a super over-the-top birthday bash. But today we’re taking a look at some party ideas you could pull off right at home, like mama Kristen Dimond did for her daughter Piper’s 4th. She went with an under the sea theme and decked the whole place out with mermaids, shells, and lots of sparkle. Thanks to Alison Bernier for sending this our way!

Love all the little embellishments on the cake Jen Tee Bakes designed.

How cute is this sweets spread? On-theme sugar cookies as a major kids party must around here.

Kudos to Kristen on the most fun nautical details displayed throughout!

BTW, if you throw a party like this yourself, you can snag these candy mermaid tail stir sticks from To Be Devoured via Etsy.

Glitter mermaid tails, obvs!

SoCal’s Party Princess Productions made all the littles’ days.

Mamas, this “Twin Palms” themed twin birthday party for sisters Taytum & Oakley is basically an amalgamation of every amazing pastel party we’ve ever shared, and THEN some. It’s over-the-top cute, and overflowing with rainbow fun and creative activities planned and styled by Michelle Rogers for actors Madison + Kyler to celebrate their girls’ 3rd year. Keep on scrolling for all the pastel palm goodness Nola Fontanez captured below.

First things first, the amazing twin rainbow cakes from Amriel’s Cakes amongst the insane pastel rainbow balloon backdrop Michelle Rogers dreamt up. So very good!

Coastal Cocktails was there with sweet sips for everyone to enjoy.

One Social Design styled a boho little lounge area for mingling.

Good ol’ ball pit. Never gets old, mamas, never gets old.

Think every good summer party these days has a pop cart, don’t you?

They also set up an adorable backdrop for the Foto Vibe station.

These outfits. Toooooo cute! They’re from Pleiades Designs.

Their new baby sis even got to join in on the fun. Other activities included a craft table with canvas and paint, donut decorating station, a glitter bar and face painting, and more! See the rest of the photos in our inspiration gallery, and click the links below for everyone involved.

What do you do when your little dude is obsessed with Mamma Mia? You throw him a very festive (and very musical!) birthday party, that’s what. Molly of Almost Makes Perfect threw Arlo a sky-themed birthday for his first trip around the sun, but now that Mamma Mia 2 is his fave flick, she and her hubs knew it would be the perfect creative challenge. Did we mention that A’s grandparents even performed their own ABBA medley for guests?! Keep scrolling for photos from Brandi Welles…

Molly designed a bunch of fun Mamma Mia themed posters and printed them through Mixbook.

And they turned the backyard into Hotel Bella Arlo, as inspired by the sequel.

Here we go again!

Salt & Flour created these cute Greek disco themed cookies.

Gotta have a Greek spread.

They had the other party goods custom made at For Your Party. Such an easy way to personalize your festivities.

And here’s Gram and Gramps with their ABBA renditions.

Grandparents of the YEAR.

Happy 2nd birthday, Arlo!

Not sure we’ve ever shared so many beautiful life events from the same couple as we have creative mama Samantha Dapper and her hubs Kyle. Back in 2014 we featured their Parisian engagement party +  Palm Springs e-sesh. Then of course there was this cute tropical bridal shower and finally, their stylish Palm Springs nuptials. Hooray! Then last year we were all smitten with Samantha’s sweet (and very French) backyard baby shower. Somehow their little dolly is already ONE! Naturally a French first birthday was in order and Corrie Lynn Photo captured the sweetest photos. So honored to have shared this journey to marriage and motherhood!

Cute snaps for the gift table!

Samantha is definitely your go-to gal for Parisian themed parties here in California.

Shindig Chic always makes Samantha’s events that much sweeter with beautiful blooms.

Mademoiselle Elle looking most charming in her floral crown!

The sweets table featured little E’s smash cake and baked goodies from Butter Cake Shoppe, and they decorated the rest with Erin Elyse Long‘s faux cakes. Good thinking!

Prettiest snack setup.

Aren’t the balloons and long ribbons here so so cute?

That’s one happy girl!

Morning, mamas! If you need us, we’ll be here scrolling through this super adorable girl’s birthday party Love of Character sent our way, in order to distract from the fact that IT’S ALREADY AUGUST! Face palm. Lucky for us, this tiny girl gang knows how to bring the sunshine indoors, so you could pull off this “bird of a feather” theme any time of year. Thanks to Alison Moore Photography for the cute snaps!

The Tiny Girl Gang t-shirts are from Jean & June. Their shop is the CUTEST.

It’s all things flamingos and swans over here!

Everything went down at Love of Character‘s cute Kansas venue.

Love this chica’s style!

Such fun pastel rainbow balloon art.
