My kids have inspired me in so many ways. When I was a kid and the only child, my mom would throw big, fun parties. Now that I am a mom, I love coming up with a theme for their parties and design the party supplies. It is so much fun!
5 Tips for a gorgeous DIY party
Decorate a neutral color wreath with small objects or cut outs that complement your party’s theme.
Use tissue paper and add a pop of color to your table.
Serve and decorate with cupcakes. Add bakers twine around the cupcakes.
Party banner, cake and food.
Custom personalized party favor bags.
Angry bird cupcake toppers
Goodie bags with Angry Birds rubberstamp.
In flight snacks and berry boxes with extra goodies. I’ve used these berry boxes so much! They are so practical and you can find them at “Garnish”
Dessert/food table and “in-flight” snack box for the kids.
The Museum of aviation sells a million of rubber stamps representing a myriad of airplanes. Brennan chose the blue angels and an old bomber fighter plane.
I used Wilton Tip # 1 and natural food coloring from Whole Foods.
The hanging decor is from “Heart to heart” shop.
I bought this garland from “Seasonal Delights” shop on Etsy. She does amazing work.
Food table.
These were a hit. The berry boxes are from “Garnish”. I made a sticker/label and I was done! I love quick and simple.
This was the party favor. I used this sample from so and so and then added the hostesses names and various guests. Inside the favor bag I had a bookmark and bookplates.
The cupcake toppers had quotes from classic children books. I used an alphabet stamp set for these.
Wow putting washi tape on birthday candles is brilliant! Never would have thought of that. I always hate the colours of birthday candles that you buy from the store but I never considered changing them.

Hello Mellissa, wonderful that you will try to add washi tape to birthday candles :) One tip that I mention on my post is to leave space between the wick and washi tape, about 1/2 inch at least. That way when you light the candles, the washi tape won’t burn ;) Cheers,
Ursula
Just curious, i know you said to leave room so the tape wont burn, but is it okay if it does ? I wouldnt mind it burning as long as it wasnt dangerous, or had like a horrible smell or anything.

Hello! Thanks for stopping by ;) Regarding the tape, I just don’t let the tape burn just in case the tape won’t burn nicely and ruin the candles or cake ;) If you plan of decorating a candle to burn for a while then I would decorate the candle holder with washi tape. Also votives look very cute with washi tape around them.
Okay! Good idea, thank you! :)
