If you love a good theme party, may we suggest meatballs for your next affair? This birthday celebration has it all: Loopy, noodle-y handwriting? Check. Big gold balloons? Check. One very happy Elias? Mega check. Thanks to The Vintage Button Photography for the documenting this little meatball’s special day!

Lou Collective created all the playful artwork and signage.

Dig in!

Their faces say it all, don’t they? Happy birthday Elias!

What do you do when you have a week and a half to plan your babe’s birthday party? If you’re Nikki of Jeadore Blogger, you get real creative. With Immi’s dad coming back from a long trip, they didn’t plan to throw a party, but sometimes you just gotta whip out the unicorns and make it happen, ya know?

Framed artwork, check! Nikki used a white foam board with a black marker to draw the unicorn, then added foliage and put it in a Target frame she spray painted gold.

I asked Immi what she wanted it to be, and she said Unicorn and Red Bull, from the old 80′s movie The Last Unicorn. So, since we had such little time, I had to use what we had around the house… and/or could find or get super quick. When buying or making stuff for her party I wanted to incorporate items that we could reuse for her room (the 3D flower/unicorn, and the flower lights from BHLDN).  

This gorgeous cake? Whipped up from the box, decorated with edible flowers from Terrain, and topped with painted unicorns they already had.

She added faux flowers and greenery to this macrame hanging from Urban Outfitters they used as a backdrop too.

Yeeeeah, we’d say she pulled it off. So amazing!

How exciting will it be to plan your child’s first slumber party?! Maybe some of you are already there, but for those of you like us with slightly younger kids this one sure seems like a fun adventure. Anthony & Stork designed this beautiful Moon and Stars themed party for a recent client’s birthday. Pretty much hits all the notes for a beautiful but low key celebration, if you ask us. Of course they had us with that moon piñata!

Love it!

Happy Friday, lovelies! This festive party styled by Gillian Shenon is so bright and colorful and full of summery details. Maybe we can all sneak in one more fiesta before summer is over, huh? Amazing inspiration for a late summer birthday for kiddos!

Love all those garlands strung up over the table!

And the flowers by Erica Venegas are so good!

Awww look at these littles all dressed up in their matching dresses!

And of course, there would have to be a piñata!

Such a fun party! We always love a good Mexican theme.
