Sprinkles First Birthday

A sprinkles party theme is such fun for a kids birthday party and especially a first birthday!

We are loving this “sprinkle some fun” first birthday party by Dream a Little Dream Events in Perth – filled with colour, gorgeous desserts and some creative ideas for the guests to leave a touch of sprinkle for the birthday girl!

Enjoy all the eye candy and you can find all the credits at the end of the post if you want to create a sprinkle soiree of your own!

Tribal Inspired Party Theme Ideas

 

If there’s one thing I admire the most about this industry, it’s the creativity of taking a bespoke theme so unrelated to the industry, and turning it into something magical that spreads like wildfire.

A great example is the luxe boho theme that has taken over my Instagram feed. Just add unicorns and suddenly it’s a children’s party! I have seen so many magical versions of this theme, ranging from pastels, feathers and unicorns for a pretty and feminine feel, to a more tribal vibe for boys – and I love them all!

So where do you start if you want to give this a go yourself? As always, we’ve sourced some great finds from our LLC Vendors from the Directory to make it easy for you to shop and plan for your kids party! Simply CLICK on any image in the blog post to be taken to where you can source/order the item!

 

Boho Party Theme Invitations

To set the bohemian vibe, start with the magical elements of dreamcatchers, feathers, unicorns and tee pees, and choose a colour palette of pastels for a more whimsical influence, or rustic, earthy tones for a more tribal feel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boho Party Theme Decorations

This is one theme you can really let your imagination go wild with. If you’ve chosen more of a tribal vibe, why not set up camp, Pocohontas and The Lost Boys style? Prefer pastels and feathers? Introduce cushions, lots of macrame, draped fabrics and lace for a bohemian retreat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the idea of using themed keepsakes of these occasions too and including them in the decorations.

 

Boho Theme Prop Hire

A tee pee isn’t something most of us have lying around the house, but if you can borrow or hire one and accessorise it with cushions and throws, it really helps bring this theme together.

 

 

 

 

How about making it a slumber party with guests having their own individual tee pee? I love this idea for older girls.

 

 

A gorgeous idea for this party is to have a floral crown making workshop which Bella Fiore Floral Designs (Sydney) run:

I hope these finds have inspired you  and given you a great head start on pulling this theme together!

American Indian 1st Birthday Celebration

An American Indian theme has become so popular this last year and I love this gorgeous party we are showcasing today as the colours are bright and vibrant and the theme has really come to life through the props and styling from Sydney based Sweet Heavenly Events Hire!

 

As Mary from Sweet Heavenly Events explains: “Vicky came to us and told us what she had in mind for her daughter Valentina’s Birthday.  We jumped at the chance of styling something unique and amazing. We got to work with our crazy and talented bunch of vendors to design something gorgeous. Using our Marble timber stands and our copper table ware it was a true masterpiece.”

Enjoy the incredible images and details and you will find all the vendor credits at the end of this post with many vendors you can find on our Directory!:

Beauty and the Beast party finds

 

It’s been a long time coming, but FINALLY one of my my favourite Disney Princesses and her Beast are being brought to the big screen.

Beauty and the Beast will arrive in Cinemas around the country from March 23, so we’re predicting a surge of Belle inspired birthday parties this year, and mum’s frantically trying to find her dress! So if you see one, grab it now before it’s too late!

To help you prepare for the inevitable, we’ve put the call out to our talented LLC vendors to find you everything you’ll need for your Beauty and the Beast party.

 

Beauty and the Beast Invitations

Make it a grand affair with opulent invitations in yellow and blue with trimmings of gold. How gorgeous are these enchanted mirror invitations by Eve & Co?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beauty and the Beast party decorations

To help set a royal affair, take cues from the original movie and opt for a palette of yellow with a touch of gold – and don’t forget the roses!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Such gorgeous decorations for the table or to hang from the ceiling!:

 

Incorporate red roses into the party decor – go for these paper decor roses so you don’t have to worry about the thorns!:

 

 

 

 

Beauty and the Beast Tableware

The Beast invited Belle to join him for dinner, so be sure to set a table that will delight guests and whisk them into the fairytale castle! Set the table with candlesticks, gold cutlery, vases of more roses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beauty and the beast prop hire

Want to step it up a notch? With the addition of a few key props, your guests will think they’ve entered the enchanted castle itself!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beauty and the Beast Sweet Treats & Baking Decor

I’d imagine the feast enjoyed by Belle and the Beast included towers of sweet treats after their meal. So go grand and prepare a feast for all to enjoy before the dancing starts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partywear & ideas

For the special party girl a lovely Belle costume is perfect for her to feel the part!:

 

 

Add a gorgeous custom party hat or crown which are fit for a little princess and that she can reuse for dress up time after the party:

 

 

The guests don’t have to feel left out with this pack of party crowns for them to wear as well!:

 

For slightly older children, a fun idea could be a ceramic painting party where they each get to paint a little tea cup to take home for their own little Beauty and the Beast dinner party! :

 

 

Beauty and the Beast Party Favors

Now not everything went smoothly at Belle’s dinner, but eventually everything turned out! So we’ll skip that part of the story and after all the fun is had, send your guests home with themed memorable favors like these.

 

 

 

 

Package your little Beauty and the Beast favours up in a delightful favour bag or fill up a little teacup with goodies!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a beautiful and enchanting story Beauty and the Beast, making it our pick for a hot party trend this year after the launch of the movie next month. We hope these finds have sparked your imagination, but we’re sure your Belle will have plenty of ideas too after seeing the move!
