A Magical Birthday Celebration

My friend and I hosted a joint birthday party to celebrate our two daughters turning three, since their birthdays are only 5 days apart! They both share a love for unicorns and fairies and all that magical fun, so that was our theme.
Most of the decor was DIY, from the paper flowers on the table backdrop, to the unicorn centerpieces. We also took donations to our local Make-A-Wish chapter, in lieu of gifts, and were able to raise $950!

Carolyne’s Puppy Party

We celebrated our little girl Carolyne’s 2nd birthday with one of her favorite things – PUPPIES!! Most of the decor was DIY (from the printables, to the puppy yard stakes, and the puppy floral centerpieces) and went perfectly with our puppy themed menu! We used mostly coral, with a lot of purple and aqua accents! On the invitation, we asked that guests bring a donation for our local Humane Society instead of a gift – we ended up with several bags of dog and cat food AND $355, so it was a great success for a great cause.

Sweet Carolyne’s 1st Birthday Party

We wanted to have a beautiful, fun party to celebrate our sweet Carolyne turning 1! Our “theme” was “Sweet Carolyne” (like the Neil Diamond song) and included a dessert table with nothing but “sweets.” We used different shades of pink and coral, along with gold and glitter accents. Most everything was DIY by mommy!
Since the party was at 10 am, we had a breakfast bar with some brunch favorites – mini pancake stacks, sausage balls, chicken salad on croissants, mini blueberry muffins, and a yogurt bar!

Coral and Gold Glitter Nursery

We wanted to create a glamorous nursery that our little girl could grow into! With the main color in the room being gold, we incorporated shades of coral and aqua.
The focal point of the room is the gold glitter wall…and pictures don’t do it justice! The other three walls have metallic gold polka dot decals. There are many DIY touches throughout the room – starting with the decals that I cut out myself, to the gold gumball machine and coral owl lamp. Spray paint can take ordinary pieces and make them pretty amazing!
