Party Styling
A local mom of three, Courtney, amazes me with her beautifully styled birthday parties. I don’t know if I have the creative eye to do anything quite as amazing, but I have been able to take one or two ideas from her parties and use them in my own. Courtney had a birthday party for her daughter’s fifth birthday and did a Little Red Riding Hood theme.
You can find the items Courtney used from the links below…

Easy Party Favors
Homemade Play Dough
We love this idea for homemade play dough. You can pick colors to match your theme and create personalized labels. Package the dough in bags or food containers with reusable lids, like these baby food containers.
Here is the recipe (so simple you can have the kids help!)-
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1/4 cup salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 Tbls. vegetable oil
food coloring (I used 4 drops)
Just dump all the ingredients into your pot and give them a good stir.
Custom Labeled Bubbles
Have your child help you decorate paper labels or print them on the computer with
your party theme details. You can attach them with double stick tape. These are also great for a Fourth of July bbq with friends. Make sure to put each child’s name on their bottle so they don’t get mixed up.
Personalized ApronsThere are a variety of aprons on Etsy.com for under $10 that you can have personalized with each guest’s name. These are perfect for a cooking themed party.
We hope you have fun planning your child’s next birthday party and use some of these ideas and businesses to make it easier to plan!
