A Pink & Yellow Party: by Lil Hoot

 

Are you drooling yet? This adorably creative party was thrown by Sarah from Lil Hoot Parties for her twin daughters.  I love how she celebrated their individual styles, with one loving the color yellow and preferring to wear baseball caps over pearls, and the other loving pink and everything girly.  Sarah did a beautiful job of styling the pink and yellow lovelies and I was honored that she asked me to do the paper goods for such a special event.  We started with the invitation, which was front and back so Charlotte and Phoebe had their own invitation in a way.  The other items were all designed with the speech bubbles in order to feature all their favorite things!  Sarah was amazing to work with as always!  What a talented lady this women is... really!  Please go to her blog to see more lovely pics from this party... it will blow your mind!

Guest Party Feature: An Animal Parade

I fell upon this lively and colorful party on pinterest the other day and fell in love.  The party was put together by Jennifer Pebbles of the blog paper and ink.  Jennifer is a graphic designer in the craft industry and her great style shows in this adorable party she threw for her daughters first birthday.  She crafted everything from the napkin flowers to the hanging animals to her daughter's hair accessory.  I personally love her use of color and how even though she used a palette of many colors she was able to bring it all together in such a beautiful way... love love LOVE!  You must check out the party post to read more about the DIY's she took on and the ideas behind this lovely animal parade!

Woodland Wonderland

I was thrilled to get an email last night from the peeps at Amy Atlas informing me they would be featuring Noah's party on their blog today!!  Super yay!  I thought I would post some additional pics of the party!  It was such a fun and whimsical day and I'm so lucky that I was able to plan the party with a good friend. :)

Here is a bit about the party...

This party was put together by myself and my friend Candace, for our two little boys who were turning two years old, Noah and Hudson. We chose a woodland wonderland theme where we featured woodland animals, gnomes, and small touches of fall with pumpkins and caramel apples. We picked a lovely park loaded with tall forest trees and nature all around, which made for the perfect backdrop to our event. The dessert table offered black forest cupcakes, natural vanilla cupcakes, dried fruit and peanut cookies and acorn cookies for "little squirrels."
We really wanted to make the woodland party special for our little boys so we used a quote through the whole party as well as on the back of the invitations which read, "Little boys are meant for kisses and hugs, for chasing squirrels and catching bugs." 
Lunch was served and each of the kids had their own place setting with wrapped lunches and juice boxes each labeled with their name. The party included games such as "hoot owl bean bag fling", "mushroom ring toss", "brown rabbit sack races" and a photo booth complete with woodland animal masks.  Lastly, for the favors we hung caramel apples from the trees and the kids were able to "pick" their apple favors. The party was truly whimsical and our little boys and friends had a wonderful time!

The woodland designs will be up in my shop soon, so be looking out for those!
Thank you for letting me share!

More from Charla Anne...

I asked Charla if it would be ok for me to feature some of the other lovely birthday set ups that she has put together for her youngest daughter. I am just in love with her simple, gorgeous, vintage style. I think it goes to prove that you do not have to have a sweets table decked out to the nines for high impact. Her simple but chic details are just so dreamy. I hope you enjoy!
