3rd Birthday

My sweet little boy turned 3 on June 25th and we celebrated with a train themed birthday party. He is absolutely obsessed with trains so the theme was perfect!

I cannot believe now I share the project of Quorra’s 3 rd birthday.. its seems only yesterday that I shared her 1st party… :)
As she grew, she now can choose her own theme for birthday, and she still lovesss water and anything associated with sealife.. so she decided to be a mermaid this time and requested to have a bubble party!
Happy 3rd birthday dear Quorra

Little Kennedy turned three in April and like many three-year old girls, she LOVES horses!  What better than a pony birthday party?  And Ponies were everywhere from the metal favor buckets with giant lollipops to the frothy pink cake to the almost too cute to eat cake pops.  There was even a pony themed bounce house for the kids to burn off some energy.  And what Pony party would be complete without Pony rides for all the guests.
The color palette of brown and pink was carried throughout the dessert buffet, favors, and custom burlap banners.  It was all brought together with adorable printables from The TomKat Studio.  A Lemonade Stand, custom made by Kennedy’s dad out of wood from her great-grandfather’s barn, kept guest well hydrated and veggies, breads and dips were served along with the sweet treats.
A custom-made silhouette of the birthday girl served as a special backdrop to the desserts and is a memorable keepsake for the family.  Hay bales served as seats for the little ones at long tables while adults enjoyed the shade of the tent.  Pink Tulips and white hydrangeas showcased the beautiful spring day.

My daughter Emerald loves the Little Mermaid and Nemo. As an Event Designer I wanted to create the underwater world that she loved for her 3rd birthday party, but with a unique twist and sophisticated decor elements. Keeping the color palette pretty narrow, blues, greens, with white would be the key to the elegance of the party. The focal points are Dessert Table and Kid’s table.

I wanted a fun & colorful birthday for my son. I was browsing Pinterest for ideas and saw a neon animal party. I took that idea and ran with it, making a board of all kinds of animal themed ideas.

Mila wanted a cheery and colorful theme for her birthday and she picked Rainbow. We brought in a fairy who did face painting, balloon twisting and magic show for entertainment.

I was thrilled how this ballerina party turned out for my 3 year old daughter Stella’s birthday. It was a party full of relatively simple, inexpensive DIY decor projects that made for a big impact. Handmade ballet slippers, crepe paper roses, and a tutu birthday cake were the stars of the show (in addition to the little ballerina herself, of course!) You can get all the details here on my blog Design Improvised.

My son’s biggest passion right now is trains.Trains of all types, sizes, and of course, all of the sounds that come along with them! I was inspired to do a Little Engine That Could theme because I really wanted the party to be personal – while incorporating his love of trains.  Lately I’ve been noticing him say  “I can’t”, A LOT so I hoped this could also be an educational opportunity too get him saying “I can” and understanding he could do many things.  Leading up to the party we read the book regularly + afterwards –  I transitioned most of the party decor into his room to continue to remind him that he could.
