For my daughters 3rd birthday my daughter wanted a princess party. What 3 yr old doesn’t ?! Thank you amazon because I ordered all the balloons and these adorable centerpieces(similar)that you pop out the skirt and head and then the head slides into the skirt piece. The skirt also comes with matching tulle that slides overtop and sits around the middle of the 3D princess. For the cupcake stand I bought some princess wrapping paper and wrapped 2 same size boxes and then displayed the cupcakes on them. A local bakery made those beautiful Cinderella slipper cookies, which by the way my kids have yet to eat these at any birthday party. It’s sugar iced on top of sugar ! The friends do and I do so they stay for now ! Anyways back to the rest of the fun.

For the take home goodies we did princess crowns, Crayola paint, temporary tattoos and wands.

This year we rented a bounce house for our backyard and it was entertainment for kids and adults ! We have a small backyard and this thing just barely fit in our 17′ deep backyard. I think there was about 12 inches of space to get by it but it was soooo much fun !

For our second daughters first birthday we decided to do a breakfast birthday party. Probably the best decision ever ! We had it at 9am so that all the littles would fill up their bellies, run around, wear themselves out and then take a nice long nap for mom and dad. Win, win !

This one was a simple and easy birthday party to put together.  I love the color combo of pink and gold. I bought most of my decor from etsy and the balloons and table cloths from a party store and I didn’t have to spend my entire morning trying to put this party together.

On the menu was glazed munchkins, pancakes, sausage, bacon and fruit. For the goodies we had pink star cookies, a reuseable mason jar and cute little grab bags filled with stickers, crayons and a little on the go coloring book. simple but perfect.

Hope this gives you some inspiration for your next birthday party !

When my daughter turned two she was absolutely obsessed with balls and balloons, so what better birthday than a hot air balloon birthday party.

I learned my lesson from her first birthday and toned it down for this party. I had a local bakery do a simple cake with balloons on it and then cupcakes made to look like a bouquet of balloons. I also had some shortbread cookies made shaped liked balloons for some thank you treats for the kids. And for the take home goodies I did bubbles, chalk and reusable cups. It’s always nice to have a thank you gift that the kids can use and be slightly practical but yet have all the kids enjoy it !
