We are all about the Barbie movie, and if your daughter is too, then here are some disco Barbie birthday party ideas to get your party started. I've covered Barbie party decor, food, place settings, activities and party favors. Come on Barbie, let's go party! I have...
Today I'm so excited to welcome Cami Monet Miller to the blog with the ONE of a Kind first birthday party she created for her daughter Mia. This party is sooo gorgeous. Even if you don't have a one-year old, I KNOW you'll find design inspiration that you could apply...
Do your kids ever have trouble choosing a birthday party theme? This year, as my twin daughters’ 17th birthday approached, they could NOT agree on a theme. They finally hit on the idea of a disco party, which was an idea I’d never would have come up with for them. But...
I've wanted to host a pie baking party for my daughters and their friends for a few years now. This party was delayed when Baby A got sick and then again when Covid hit last year. So we were awfully excited to finally get to host our Friendsgiving Pie Party. The idea...
Like so many of you, we’ve now faced the “birthday in a pandemic” dilemma. My twins were turning 16 and all they wanted was a small party with friends. The girls and I planned their party together and came up with this boho picnic sweet 16 birthday party. We had a...
One of the reasons I offer online party planning services (like The Party Course and The Party Plan Club) instead working as a local event planner, is that I don't want to spend weekends away from my daughters, running birthday parties for other moms' kids but missing...
I've got a party for you that comes together really quickly, is inexpensive, easy on you, and will be loved by all ages, boys and girls: a donut party. Ours was a Hawaiian-styled donut party for my twin daughters' 15th birthday. The tropical look was inspired by one...
My darling little niece (actually great-niece, but let's not go there because it makes me feel old) has chosen a Barbie birthday party. Her "Kitty" will host the party, but I get to help out with some ideas! And that means, you get a Barbie birthday party mini party...
My kids, who -- I swear -- were 4 just yesterday, graduated middle school this week. They each ended their 8th grade year with straight As in advanced and accelerated courses. We couldn't be more proud. Okay, mom brag over. Of course, this milestone had to be...
Here's the thing about 14-year-olds: they know what they want. And this year, my twin girls wanted a bowling birthday party / sleepover and they wanted their primary party color to be ginger. Allllright-y then. Fortunately for me, I found Jula Paper Co, a fabulous...
When my twin girls were about to turn 11, they couldn't agree on a joint party theme ... like, at. all. But, I discovered there was one activity they could agree on. Apparently, it was very fun to swipe my phone and take selfies. I'd be looking for a photo, and all of...
My girls' 12th birthday was in February, but this past year, we swiped an idea from a friend whose daughter also has a February birthday. We just moved their birthday to summer. That gave us the chance to pick from outdoor activities. That might only work for tweens...
Sometimes, you want to party small. That's what we did for my niece's 3rd birthday party. (Miss M is technically my great-niece, but that makes me feel super old, so let's just drop the "great," shall we?) Like every other girl her age, Miss M is completely taken with...
Did you have a favorite Halloween costume as a child? Mine was a witch costume, sewn by my mom. One of my twin girls feels the same way, and has dressed up as a witch for Halloween three times. (I have no sewing skills, but I can shop with the best of them.) Those are...
Buy the Gardening Party Plan Some time last year, my husband was outside washing the van, and my girls went out to watch him, play, and get all wet. They were entertained for hours, and it was all so simple. It reminded me that it really doesn't take a lot to make...
Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Tracy Allen of Sweet Peach Paperie back to the blog, sharing her twin daughters' darling mermaids 5th birthday party! (You can see Tracy's Sea Turtle Twins Birthday Party here.) What did I love about this twins birthday party? It was a...
My twins are now ten, which is just crazy to think about. I'm ready to shrink them back to three! But they are pretty darn excited about being double-digits and I guess I don't have much choice in the matter. We've always done joint birthday parties for the girls....
If your kids love to trick or treat with their besties, try inviting the gang over for a pre-trick or treating Zombie Princess Party! I'll show you how. (You could even invite the boys, 'cause you know they will like zombies!) My twin girls are 9 now and somewhere...
Oh my goodness, I love this party so much! My friend Keisha from Cupcake Wishes and Birthday Dreams created this cupcake decorating party for her daughter Nikki's 9th birthday. My two have tossed out the idea of a baking party, and I'd LOVE to style it, but at the...
Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Natalie from Katarina's Paperie to the blog, with her charming Pink Lemonade Party. Natalie's shop offers party printables and pretty, pretty decorations with a whimsical flair. Natalie created this play date party last summer for her...
Yesterday, I was so excited to finally share my daughters' 9th birthday party with you -- a Country Music Awards Party! Today, I'm just as excited to give you a sneak peak into some of the pages from my Party Plan! Country Music Awards Plan - Sneak Peak Buy the Party...
My twins have officially reached the age of "Mom, can you change the radio station?" Every time we get in the car. And they always ask for one of the country stations. Which started my party planning wheels turning ... all we needed to do was to combine country music...
Hi -- coming to you from the beach today! I'm excited to welcome a few fabulous guests to the blog this week, so I can take a mini-creative break to play with the girls, finish writing my Country Music Awards Party Plan, and get caught up on Marie Forleo's B-School....
Well, what'da ya know? I have readers in Switzerland, and one of them is a very sweet party planner who submitted today's party feature. Tala Vondaniken of Perfect Packages operates in a very cool niche, as a one-stop-shop for expats in Switzerland, handling...
One of my very favorite things to find in my email is a zip file of party photos from a client. Whether a mom has purchased a Party Plan, Custom Party Plan, or Party Kit, she's going to put her own spin on the party -- and I can't wait to see it! So I was thrilled...
Have you ever seen that HGTV show, The High Low Project? The host shows us a wildly expensive room, and then redecorates another room in that style for a fraction of the original budget. That is sort of how Andrea's Neon Glow Birthday Party came to be. Mom Elizabeth...
If you have girls, I'm betting they went through a pretty serious My Little Pony phase. Mine did. I can't tell you how many times I untangled pony manes that my two had "styled." Kathy of Tickled Peach Studio just hosted a 4th birthday party for her little girl and...
