All American Cheer

Living in Canada, two of my favorite things are virtually obsolete; cheer leading and the Stars and Stripes. When my daughter asked for a cheer party for her 7th birthday, I was thrilled and the color scheme for me was easy. I called a few of my American friends and they willingly sent me their old uniforms. I was thrilled to receive enough red white and blue ones to put all the party guests in the theme colors! Here are some of my favorite details...

The overall "feel" was all out red white and blue. With an October birthday, it was no problem to collect 4th of July items at clear out prices. Planning in advance can often save quite a bit.

Tiny American flags: A perfectly patriotic way to welcome the guests.

Patriotic jelly bellies for the kids to "guess how many"

Gotta love the little details! Personalized water bottles.

I removed all the furniture from the living room in order to lead the kids in a little cheer clinic.

The girls were fully engaged when learning cheers. Seven is the perfect age to get creative and actually DO something with the kids!!

Perfecting their jumps.

The girls loved having pom poms, they were a major hit!

Learning a mount.

My sweet birthday girl (top of the pyramid) got a black eye on the trampoline a few weeks before her party.

With the help of my lovely sister in law Terri, we gave all of the girls cheer make overs complete with high ponytails, star stickers on their faces, and the cheer outfits. I also made a hair bow for each girl with her name on it.



At the end of the party, The girls showcased what they learned by performing for the birthday girl's family.

Even the treats were patriotic! The girls got to build their own mini trifles.

I really enjoyed this party theme, it is up there as one of my favorite parties to date. The kids had a great time and most importantly, the theme suited my little birthday girl perfectly.

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
