Fairyland Birthday Inspiration

My girlfriend Kelley is looking for inspiration on a Fairy Birthday Party for her little Jaylynn.  I'm thinking THIS is the perfect one.  :)  It was posted on HWTM by another mommy and I must say, she did a GREAT job!

*this party was inspired by HWTM's fairy birthday party*

UPDATE:  They've included templates on how to create their signs and table numbers!  Here they are!

HWTM: Paper Treat Cones

This is a cute and clever way of tying the theme together. And cheap too! Great for little snacks for your guests. The HWTM has some brilliant ideas!

Caden's Monkey Birthday Party

My son Caden turned 1 and we threw a Mod Monkey Birthday party. I had a blast planning for the big day. It was my first fully themed event and I think everyone loved it! Caden had a blast!

I bought the banana candy on Oriental Trading Company. They were a hit. A lot like Runts.


I got the banner at 1stwishes.com


I made these!

They turned out perfect!



I made these pots for Caden's baptism.  They had angel cookies then and I just recycled them for his birthday and used monkeys and Palm Trees instead.  I used lollipops to fill the pots so the kids could help themselves to treats throughout the event.

The wood monkey/palm tree cut outs are from Michael's

I made this banner....

These monkey cups are a Martha Stewart craft. Find them on her website!

Caden's Mini Cake to get messy!

We loved his shirt! It was perfect for the party!

Monkey hats came pre-made at Michael's!
