Do You Know?

The countdown is on for my sister's 25th birthday soiree.  Many of you may not be familiar with the theme for this one so I thought I'd give you a few days to familiarize yourself with this fun phenomenon that is Poupee (poo-pay) Girl.

HERE is the link, check it out, surf around, see the cuteness.

White Christmas Party Invitations

I can't wait to throw this wintery white party in a few weeks! Christmas really is the best time of the year!

Here are the invites!

Shopping Party Invitiations!

My daughter Mailee is having a "shopping party" next weekend. This will include lunch at the mall, a scavenger hunt, and spending money for each of the girls to shop with. She has 3 friends coming. The invitations for this party were so fun to make. I made each girl a wallet invitation with all the information on little cards in the inside pocket!

The pretty rhinestone "clasp" was a fancy brad from the scrapbook store.

The little wallet with everything tucked inside...

I laminated a little card for each girl with their own picture on it.
These were a big hit! The back side was zebra print...too cute!

A Woof and A Meow!

When planning a kid's birthday party, we find the best way to choose a theme is to focus on what that child loves best. Some of the best themes begin this way. Thinking outside the "party isle" at WalMart is exciting. Granted, creating a theme from scratch takes more work but it is so rewarding!!

This little lady is a major pet lover. She is obsessed with all things puppy and kitty. We combined her two favorite animals and added some fun colors to create this unique "puppy and kitty" party.

"Woof woof Meow meow Maddie Faith will be 5 now!"

Handmade invitations with a catchy phrase are always a great way to get the invited guests excited!! The birthday girl got to address and "sticker" the envelopes! Fig and Ruby can make invitations for your specific theme and color scheme. Check out the paperie blog here!

Lanterns in the party colors!

We created these adorable bean bags for the kids to use in a few carefully planned games. The children were thrilled to take their bean bags home in their goody bags!

Goody bags in the theme colors make a great decoration! Find an empty space in the party room and put them on display!!

This birthday girl really wanted puppy and kitty makeovers! The kids got to pick a puppy face or kitty face. The also got their hair done in "puppy ears" or "kitty ears" with matching bows (headband with ears for the sweet little boy) Each child got a collar with their name tag attached and a leash. Their parents got to "walk" their kids out at the end of the party!!

Puppy Cake!! Fig and Ruby can make a cake to coordinate with any theme! Check out the sweets blog for more info!

The perfect end to a fantastic puppy and kitty party..striped cake!!!

Mermaid Goodness

Please enjoy these photos of one of our February parties. This mermaid party did not involve one lick of the classic "little mermaid Ariel" feel. We mixed it up with a fresh color palette and made it precious for a lovely 4 year old.

Real fish to add to the ambiance.
