Camila and Simona's Royal Celebration

I apologize for being away for so long. I got busy working on the Royal Celebration we had this past Saturday. Camila & Simona had their birthday party and I have great pictures to share!

To follow the original plan for this festa (my old post). I combined white table clothes and different yellows on the cups, plates, napkins and straws for the table decor. I used gold chocolate coins, yellow star lollipops and princess paper wands, I actually made, for center pieces. The boys chairs had knight capes in red and silver and the girls had yellow foamy crowns.
We had a table with crafts where they got to decorate those crowns and color some princess printouts.


I designed this dessert table for the special day which included chocolate cupcake pops, cake balls, marshmallows, golden oreo cookies and candies following in yellow and white colors.

The cupcakes had a little twist of color, a "forbidden rose". Instead of a banner, I used gold paper letters for the girls' names on the cupcake stand.




I thought it would be attractive for the girls to have a "Belle" Barbie on the table. But, of course, one of the birthday girls, Simona, couldn't resist not playing with princess Belle. So, we only got Belle in a few shots.

I arranged two special cupcakes for the birthday girls.


It read "treats especially for you, Camila and Simona" in the paper bags the guest filled with their favorite sweets.



Royal Apple Juice was given for the thirsty little Princesses and Knights.




We offered healthy snacks as veggies with ranch.

For lunch, we set a Hot Dog Bar with a variety of toppings.

The kids had so much fun, they had lots of candies and treats from the pinata, the Beauty and the Beast show from the Puppet Co. was very entertaining, all the kids left with inflatable sword...amazing party!

*I would like to thank Marina and Patricio for trusting FESTA! Love working with people like them that love entertaining as much as I do.

Marianna's Tea Garden Party

Finally, after postponing Marianna's birthday celebration due to the winter storms, this past weekend we celebrated her 3rd birthday with her dream Tea Garden Party.

Thank you to all our friends who joined us and brought great gifts for our little princess. We had a great time. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

We had many activities and fun games like catching the butterflies, looking for Tinkerbell. For Crafts, we colored some butterflies, Tinkerbell and Peter Pan pictures. The girls received pink tutus and to receive the wings they had to swear to be a good fairy and blow some pixie dust. The boys got Peter Pan's hats, tattoos, coins and pirate treats.

And as we promised, we had Tea (raspberry) with the traditional tea sandwiches.

and...I have some pictures to share of my creations for the special day...





The cake and candy bar. I don't have to tell you how fun it was for the little ones to fill their bags with their favorite treats. Marianna said it was the best part of the party!


More pictures of the cupcakes, my daughter loved! (I posted below how I made the butterfly cupcake topper), treats and cake balls everything following the pink palette color.

Instead of goodie bags we gave Tinkerbell paint sets for the girls and coloring books for the boys.



The pinata. I have to say that pinatas are not easy to make! but after all the work the flower pinata looked good. It was filled with Tinkerbell candy rings, Tinkerbell and Peter Pan gummies and more goodies.


*Special Thanks to Eunice and Luis for the great pictures!

Butterfly cupcakes toppers

For my daughters' birthday party, I made some beautiful butterflies cupcakes toppers I would like to share...
I melt some white candy melt and add pink food color. I drew butterflies on white paper and covered them with parchment paper.


I piped the pink candy melt following the outline of the butterfly drawing and filling in it with squiggles.
They set almost immediately. I let them rest in the refrigerator until I set them on top of the cupcakes the day of the party.


Here the result...

Party Tags

I found a simple, but colorful collection of party accessories and stationary especially for children. It is fun and stylish . My favorite items: the gift tags. For more products visit: www.sambellina.com.au

Placements

I found these fun placements we can use for parties, picnics or special occasions. They will keep the little ones busy playing with the stickers, learning where to set forks, knife and spoons. They come in sets of 8. For more products e information visit www.hellohanna.com

Dinosaur Party

For his 4th birthday, my son Joseph, asked for a Dino-mite celebration. I couldn't take many pictures of the details but I was glad to see some from my friends.

We divided our backyard by stations. 1. Welcome by personalized hats with the guest dino-names 2. Dino-Tattoos 3. An excavation site, the most crowded station! (we fill our sand box with buckets, pails, shovels and molds! 4. Play-dough Time. We had a table full of play-dough and dinosaurs cookie cutters) and last one 5. Gamo-o-saurus. A game to stick some bones to the dinosaur. For the kids to take home, I arrange Excavation Kits (buckets filled with dinosaurs, pails, binoculars, and more related items.

Lunch was grilled hamburgers for the big herbivores and hotdogs for the little ones. Joseph had an amazing time. He said "mom my party was awesome!" We hit the goal!
