Children's Party Ideas

Throwing parties is so much fun. I love hosting so thinking up ways to have people over is always on my mind. Decorating is the best part besides seeing all the smiles on your guests faces. I am sure all you parents out there love bringing fun and sunshine into your children's lives. What better way to do that than to throw a party for them and all their friends and family? Here are some great items I found from some really cool shops that can help you throw a successful event that is not only fun, but put together as well.

The ACME Party Box Company is a cool shop that offers everything you need to throw a happening party. Here are some themes I think are fabulous!

BHLDN Moodboards

BHLDN recently had a contest and all you had to do was create a moodboard to enter. Eventually, they would randomly pick someone who would win what they included in their board. How rad is that? They just announced the winner and let me tell you, she is one lucky girl! I did, however, want to share the three moodboards I created on the BHLDN website. I think they are quite cool :)

Bride & Maid of Honor
What a beautiful pair these two make. Keeping with the vintage bohemian feel, everything is nature inspired with neutral tones and sweet hints of color.

Rustic Woodland Themed Wedding Decor
I love the faint calm colors of natures neutrals with a pop of color. Adding textured objects and vintage elements bring a nice theme to the event without being too much.

Decorating Your Way to a Great Party

I recently had my engagement party and wanted to share the decor with my readers. I always like to keep decorations simple but fun and this was a surely a great example of that. For any party, it is good to have sections for people to go to. I created a gathering area where people can talk and chill out and munch on some snacks. The food area was where I presented all the yummy eats for the day and a small section was dedicated to our engagement story.

I focused on pastels, lace and whimsy decor, all handmade by yours truly. From flower pinwheels and cute little tags to white flowers and herbs, the look and feel was a tiny introduction to our wedding next May. Nature inspired, Spring's beautiful colors shined bright without blinding everyone! I also have to give a shout out to my cousin Diana and Aunt Deb for giving me a number of paper poofs they used for Diana's engagement party the weekend before. Recycling is always a bonus! I am happy to say the party was a huge success :)
