inspiration..

hostess with the mostess always does it right.. i was looking around for some inspiration and found it here in this candy land themed party thrown for ex bachelorette trista's son max. here are some of my favorite photos.

i love a modern mini table setting for the munchkins..

and am always searching for some favors to send home with guests that they will actually keep and enjoy..

 

i think photos of the birthday boy/girl are a must

and I think these personalized lunch boxes are the ultimate favor.. can I have one?

a stylish christmas party

trying to piece together some ideas for a holiday parties for the kiddies... still in the beginning phases, bu this is what i've come up with so far.

made from wrapping paper.. an easy way to add some flair...

pottery barn never disappoints.. and i'm a sucker for personalization and a monogram:-)

 

if i saved up all of my pennies, i could afford this ensemble.. one day when i grow up.. 

loves it!

the cool kids..

looking for some party ideas for an outside of the "juice box" party i ran across these images which inspired me.. to do what? i havent decided just yet. but in the mean time, enjoy!

out of sight robot party!

indian/morrocan theme?

pretty in pink?

mini me.

not your average garden party...

the new princess party..

i think i found a lot of these on jcrew.  when i grow up i'm going to be just like these kids..

fabulous favors

so it seems to to be the hardest thing to find unique and fun favors that arent going to kill your children with the lead paint or just be one more thing to throw away.. so in an attempt to keep the creative juices flowing on the favor tip... thought i'd post a few ideas..

i always think personalization is key.. so wouldnt it be cute to do some chubby pencils with guests names printed on them.. you can find these pencils and chubbypencil.com

perfect for a little girls party.. just be sure to start a couple of months in advance so you are not up all night the night before:-) oh.. found these on purlbee.com

put some jingly bells and a little bean bag in these and they would be a hit at a party for one year olds.. just ask tiff:-)

fall fun..

Fall is here!! Well sort of anyway.. it's still pretty hot outside, but the munchkin can say "pumpkin!!" and "halloween!" so that's good enough for me.. i've started to try and think of some creative costumes and ran across this super cute site.

here are some of my favorites!!

cutest little bumble be i've ever seen..

little miss cowgirl

little chicka dee!

mousey poo!

who knew you could do all of that with a tutu!!

wear your favorite hat!

so i've made a decision.. a garden party it is!! the little munchkin loves flowers and hanging out in the yard with daddy watering the grass and picking flowers.. so i was thinking that she would really enjoy hanging out with her pals watching the bumble bees and sipping on mint juleps (juice boxes that is:-)

i'm totally going to have the kiddies get dressed up and wear thier favorite hats!!

I'll be looking for an old wheel barrel like this to fill with ice and water and sippy cups:-)

last year I made this birthday banner. I'm very excited to pull it out again this year..

It will be our birthday staple!!

time to stalk the neighborhood thrift stores for chairs to paint..

tee hee!! i'm so excited!!

time to think about the menu.

p.s. i didnt do a very good job of tagging these photos.. most of them came from livingetc.com.
