(Last day to enter our $50 CSN giveaway by telling us what you love about spring!)
As I've mentioned before, I'm on a strict budget for Adelaine's party and the rule at my daughter's preschool is you have to invite the whole class. That means I'm throwing a party for 60+ people. Yikes.
I'm loving the trend of Mad Scientist parties. They work for a boy or a girl, the experiments are cool (plus they're a built-in party activity), and they celebrate the geek in all of us.
Who doesn't love the book, A Very Hungry Caterpillar? Well it shows in these incredible Very Hungry Caterpillar parties we've seen on our main site. Here are some of my favorite details from each party...
Corey V's Brooklyn's Very Hungry Caterpillar Party
How cool are these cardboard playhouses from Way Basics, and how great would they look at a your kid's next party?
Throwing a tea party, add a play cottage...
A few months back we created a party inspirations and themes page, a list of all the party themes we have on our main site. Now we've made it even easier to find that page by adding a "browse themes" button in our nav bar that leads you right to it. Take a look...
To see all the inspirations and themes on our main site (not just in those five categories), scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.
These parties are in no particular order. They are all beautiful, inspiring, interesting, and they make me gasp, even for a moment. Thank you everyone for adding them to our main site. What a year it's been!
Linda V's Ava's Tea Party in the Park
We've just added "dessert table" to the showcase section on everyone's party page. When you're adding a new party (or editing an old one), please drag a photo of your gorgeous dessert table into the "dessert table" box.
This way it's easier for me to show off all your lovely dessert tables in my blog, and for people to browse through them in the "browse photos" section of the site.
Here are some beautiful Strawberry Shortcake parties on our site. I love when people take a theme based on a popular character and make it there own. Take a look at these creative ideas...
Jessica M's Vintage Strawberry Shortcake Party
One of my daughter's all-time favorite shows is Yo Gabba Gabba. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a trip. It's got these giant characters who live in Gabba Land, a DJ puppet master named DJ Lance Rock, and A-list guest stars including Jack Black, Andy Samberg, Mya, Tony Hawk, Elijah Wood, and others.
What's great about Yo Gabba Gabba as a party theme is that it can work for a girl or a boy, it's got a wonderful color pallet, and there's awesome music.
