Rainbow Art Party

My daughter celebrated her 7th birthday party with her favorite activity... ART! And it seems like all the other 7 year old girls who attended love it as much as she does. We went with a rainbow color palette in stripes and polka dots to make a fun bright party space. This cute easel greeted guests as they arrived.

A bright and cheery table as the focal point was so much fun to create.

This great chalkboard backdrop already in my party space made a great neutral space to showcase my daughter's art.

This colorful paintbrush garland was a perfect find from pinterest to add even more of our theme.

Next came the treats. We went with easy finger food. Rainbow fruit...



Rainbow sprinkle popcorn, and of course these cute favor boxes.

 

Each box included a rainbow lollipop, crayons, rainbow notepad, and rainbow tube of gumballs.

This fun paint splatter cake was the perfect centerpiece to our display.

Next in the room were several art stations. First was canvas painting. Each station featured these amazing rainbow poms made by a friend and 5M Creations printable centerpiece circles in a paint can. A printable sign with the activity name and of course the tools for that station in clear mini paint cans.

 We had extra paint palettes ready to swap out as the girls rotated stations.

Next was a drawing station. 

We had self portrait sheets, black paper with chalk, and plain card stock with colored pencils and decorative scissors. 

Third was a canvas bag decorating station. We used fabric markers and stencils to create a personalized bag. These held all of their drawings at the previous table to go home.

Last was face painting. This was a great time killer in between rotating of tables. The girls LOVED this activity and kept coming back for  more.

The girls' finished projects.

They were all very proud of their creations.

 

I created a fun rainbow table for the girls to enjoy their treats with died daisies in individual vases, solid color plates, rainbow patterned napkins and cups, and glitter party hats.

 

 

Happy Birthday to you...

 

Of course the inside of the cake had to be rainbow as well. This is such a fun surprise to cut in to.

I love this custom shirt made by a friend.

Happy Birthday sweet girl. I love you! Hope you and your friends had a fun party.

Gender Reveal Party - Little Man or Little Lady?

Back in October we found out the gender of our 4th baby. We celebrated on my 31st birthday with a gender reveal party surrounded by our family and friends. It was so much fun.

I started the party with the "Little Man or Little Lady" saying and a table half blue and half pink.

Using chevron and gray as the neutral palette made the blue bow tie and pink hair bow really pop.

Our 4th little one!

We had blue and pink treats of all kinds. 

 

 Cupcakes in polka dot baking cups, dipped pretzels, dipped marshmallows, covered oreos, and yogurt pretzels.

 I used a pink and blue curtain to create the split backdrop and of course pink and blue polka dot balloons.

 

We also had a few other snacks. Fruit with colored marshmallow dip and veggies.

I used the printable cupcake toppers printed on label paper to decorate plain white cups. Add pink and blue straws for a fun drink.

Printable gender reveal water bottle labels.

And of course blue and pink tableware.

 I created this fun printable about old wives tale gender predictions. The results were 5 boy to 4 girl.

I had this wipe of board in my kitchen which created a great place for guests to cast their votes. In the end it was WAY more girl to boy.

 Guests also got to wear a blue or pink pin to show their vote.

Almost time for the big reveal.

 

 It's a BOY!

We are excited to welcome boy #3 to our family. I am currently 34+weeks pregnant and on bed rest waiting for our little man to make his appearance. Hope you enjoyed our fun party.
