My best friend’s daughter is OBSESSED with unicorns. The party was a mix of pastel watercolors and gold glitter accents. This party had everything any little girl would want. Unicorns everywhere, sparkle, lots of yummy treats, and crafting.

This unicorn was found at Target last year. It was not however nearly this cute. He was all beige. A sweet flower mane and pink unicorn horn were transplanted to create the focal point of the unicorn party table.

Isn’t this cake dreamy?!?! My favorite cake lady made the beautiful cake base and mom added all kinds of yummy treats and the adorable cake topper to create a masterpiece.

Fruity pebble rice crispy treats and candy melt coated popcorn were 2 of the yummy unicorn treats served.

Cute mint green popcorn boxes were dressed up with my printable unicorn cupcake toppers.

The girls each took home a favor box featuring one of my printable unicorn favor tags. Each included a plush unicorn, unicorn emoji cup, and unicorn cotton candy with another printable favor tag.

I love the combo of the pink, purple, and mint green used on this party table,

This sweet space was created for the birthday girl to open gifts. Our printable I (heart) unicorns banner and amazing unicorn balloon tower were perfect together.

Even the dolls had a unicorn party.

Lots of plush unicorn friends were a part of the festivities.

The printable unicorn centerpiece circles were used on several tables throughout the party.

Face painting and crafts were next on the party agenda. This adorable unicorn horn was added to headbands for all of the guests to wear. So cute!!!

Last was a unicorn piñata!

Such a beautiful party for a beautiful girl!

You can find the unicorn printable party décor package in my etsy shop.

Summer is just around the corner and a pirate party is the perfect summer party theme. My friend threw this party last summer for her 3 kids and there are so many amazing details to share.

You guys….. THIS PIRATE SHIP!!! This was by far the coolest part of the party. My friend made this out of cardboard boxes and craft paint. A few PVC pipes for the frame of the pirate flag. Isn’t it the coolest thing ever?!?! The guests all came dressed as pirates and had so much fun in this ship.

No pirate ship is complete without a plank to walk. The kids had a blast walking over this plank over and over.

The play structure got a make over. Our printable Yo Ho Ho banner was an adorable addition.

The playhouse became a pirate booty snack shack with a sweet printable pennant banner and snacks.

A cute spot for photos was created with colored butcher paper palm trees.

Printable labels on cans were used to create a ball toss game for the pirate guests.

The trampoline became Dead Man Sea! Adorable!!!

A lemonade stand was dressed up with butcher paper, a printable pirate pennant banner and printable sign to make a temporary tattoo parlor.

My super crafty friend made these amazing pirate numbers for each of her kids. She added them to a container with my printable centerpiece circles.

All of the party food had fun pirate themed names using our printable pirate food tent cards.

I love all the details in this sweets table.

Printable pirate cupcake toppers add lots of fun pirate details. A paper pirate ship was the perfect topper to the cupcake stand.

Gold deplumes were were made out of oreos, gummy sharks, and a treasure chest piñata were all fun additions.

This amazing jar was the perfect nautical touch to hold dipped pretzels in the party colors.

Pick Your Poison at the beverage station.

Create a name tag with the fun pirate name chart.

Crafts included message in a bottle necklaces for the girls and foam pirate ships for the boys.

Our printable treat bag toppers were used to make favor bags for guests with eye patches, pirate treasure beads, a spy glass and more.This party had so many amazing DIY touches. The kids all had a blast!

I offer 2 styles of printable pirate décor in my shop. This party used parts of both packages. They can easily be mixed and matched. Both printable party décor packages include lots of great items: Happy Birthday banner, pennant banners, cupcake toppers, centerpiece circles, water bottle wraps, favor tags, party signs, and more.

Our little monster turned 3! Monster has always been a nickname for our youngest, so it seemed like a perfect theme. I knew I wanted a variety of friendly monsters and bright colors. I LOVE how this party turned out.

Classic white cupcakes are dressed up with printable monster cupcake toppers. I love the big eyeball. haha! I created these fun cupcake stands by covering a box in fur fabric. It added a fun monster feel and a great pop of color.

This cute little monster cake was one of my favorite items of the party. Blue for my son’s favorite color. There are lots of tutorials on pinterest to make these yourself.

One of the things I loved about this theme was all of the cute treats that could be made. Wilton sugar eyeballs in several sizes were added to colored sugar cookies for a silly monster cookie.

Dipped pretzels are a favorite at my parties. I purchase pretzel rods at my grocery store and dip them in melted Wilton’s white candy melts. Then top with sprinkles of your choice. I added them to clear jar with eyeballs to make bright monster hair.

My son requested a party hat last minute. I found a plain blue party hat at my local party store and dressed it up with googly eyeballs, a card stock mouth, and fur accents left over from my boxes.

Isn’t that hat the cutest? Ok maybe the birthday boy adds to the cute factor. 🙂 I found his adorable shirt on etsy from Heather Rogers Designs. It was perfect!

I created a kids party table with simple centerpieces made from my printable party circles in colored containers and monster sticker sheets.

We had an Adopt a Monster table for guests to take home a party favor as they left. My printable monster centerpiece circles created a cute display.

Each favor had a mini plush monster, bubbles with a printable label, and a monster sucker. They were packaged with my printable monster favor tags.

A friend and I created this monster bean bag toss. We used a large card board box and craft paint. Pizza pans and cookie sheets made perfect stencils for our smaller monsters. We used an exacto knife to cut out their mouths. We cut out the horns, teeth, and eyes from card stock to add some extra details. This was such an inexpensive party game and super fun to make.

Around Halloween I found fun monster photo props at Target. My kids always love taking photos with friends using fun props. It has become a regular activity at our parties.
