Strawberry Party – Oh Happy Day
If there’s one fruit that kids seem to gravitate towards, it’s strawberries.
Not only are they delicious, but they’re pretty as a picture, making them great inspiration for a summer birthday party.
From a casual picnic in the park with baskets of strawberry treats and coordinated plates and napkins, to a perfectly set table for Strawberry Shortcake fans – it’s a fun theme with minimal effort required, just plenty of red, white, green and strawberries!

Like many of you – Strawberry Shortcake brings back memories of my childhood. It is wonderful to see this lovely character reappear again today as a birthday party theme. However I also love the idea of a general strawberry party for the girl who loves strawberries or perhaps a “berry sweet” theme as another cute take on a Strawberry party.
