Party Food: 

Amazing Party Cakes!

Corn on the cob cupcakes!
Place three cupcakes in green cupcake cups side by side with yellow icing on top. Use yellow and white jelly beans as the corn and place a yellow starburst on top as the butter. Put two corn on the cob holders on either side of the cupcakes for more detail.

Tractor Cupcakes!

Chex Mix can be transformed into Chicken Feed.

Pigs in a blanket is a fun snack for a Barn Yard theme.

Buy cow print plates and napkins. Mini hay bales are cute table centerpieces. Add a sign with a pig that says, "Pig Out" and glue to stick placed in hay bales for your Barn Yard snack table.

Rice crispie treats are now hay bales for your farm style party.

A cute idea for utensils is to label forks "pitchforks" and spoons "shovels."

Barn Yard Party Games: 

You can create a bean bag toss with any type of barn yard animal to stick with your theme. Pictured here is a Feed The Pig bean bag toss. 

There are so many variations of Pin the Tail on the Donkey for kid's parties, but with this theme you can use the original one!

Party Favors:

Printable barns you can fill with candy for guests.

Cow Tales candy is a cute way to says thanks for coming and show off your barn yard creativity.

Breakfast At Tiffany's Baby Shower

Oh Darling! You have been cordially invited to read all about a beautiful Breakfast At Tiffany's themed baby shower honoring a Mother-to-be. Inspired by such a classic film, an elegant Tiffany's baby shower is a perfect theme to celebrate the coming of a wonderful baby, whether its a girl or boy. Throw your relative, friend, or yourself  an ideal baby shower as this one and I'm sure everyone will love it.

Invitations:

Decorations

Light blue, black, and white are the signature colors of Breakfast At Tiffany's.  Don't forget the pearls either.  Faux pearls for decor styling is super simple and cheap.  Get some bead necklaces from the dollar store and spray paint them white.  I recommend hanging them inside a cardboard box and spray them.  This way they can be covered evenly.

The gift bag decor would be perfect table centerpieces.  Use glossy light blue gift bags.  Add Tiffany & Co. or Baby & Co. with stickers from craft store.  If you can't find gift bags, you can use a gift box just as easily.  For the flowers, you can put vases inside the bag and add fresh hydrangeas.  Option 2 is to use silk flowers and Option 3 is to use white tissue pom poms and put them in the bag.  The draping of the pearls outside the bag is so classy. A diaper cake could be used as a centerpiece on a food table or gift table.

Food Ideas:

A breakfast or brunch type of food menu would lend itself perfectly with this theme.  But with any party, we have to have sweets.  Tie in the theme with  a blue and white dessert table and check out the Tiffany Inspired punch.

Favors

Candies in a little blue box would be adorable as a favor.  Otherwise, you could add some Tiffany charm to candy-filled baby bottles. If you are having a little man, the Tiffany's suit is a must.  How cute is that?!

This theme is very versatile.  It could be used as a bridal shower, engagement party, or a  birthday party.  For more ideas on this theme, and many others, follow us on Pinterest.

Camp Out!

Whether you're throwing an indoor or outdoor camping birthday party, we have all of the perfect ideas to make it a success!

Invites:

Camping Party Food:

Amazing Camping Cake!

Jelly or sour worms can be placed in an open tackle box and labeled fish bait for your camping snack table.

Some more awesome party food ideas are pigs in a blanket and punch in a jar labeled Bug Juice!

 Silverware can be served in a mason jar with a bandana as the napkin to stick with the outdoors-ey theme.

Cheetos are an easy snack that can be transformed into Campfire Flames.

A really creative snack for the kids is a Make Your Own Trail Mix table. Glue rocks and pebbles onto your sign to make it even more rustic. Lay out various crackers and treats such as corn flakes, chex mix, M&M's, peanuts, goldfish crackers, teddy grahams and raisins and have the kids make their own!

Party Favors:

To get the kids in the mood to camp out under the stars hand out party favors they can use for the night! Water canteens with their names on them and glow sticks and wands are fun favors too. Hand them out in camo party bags to get them excited to camp!

Another fun party favor are their very own flashlights for outdoor camping. Attach a sign to a pine cone that says, "Light up the Night" for an extra touch.

Camping Games:

Camping Bingo! Use various outdoor words like hiking boots, making s'mores, campfire and compass to name a few. 

Scavenger Hunt:

Create your own scavenger hunt of outdoor objects and nature you know are in your backyard or wherever you're throwing your camp out party. Winner could get a cool sleeping bag or bandana to wear!

Indoor Camping:

For winter birthdays indoor camping is probably easiest. You can still create the outdoor feel though with sleeping bags, tents, or even DIY teepees. 

Indoor signs point out the areas of the house where camp activities are happening!

Outdoor Camping:

Camp outdoors in the warm months with tents and play outdoor games. This outdoor party table was created using sticks and orange and red tissue paper for the campfire. Place marshmallows on sticks for each camper. Place a flashlight on each plate for every child so they can explore at night.
