Description
The Madeline book series is one of my daughter's absolute favorites. We've been reading them together for over a year now, and Liesl can recite most of the lines by heart. Once I saw how much she (and I) loved reading these books, I decided to use 'Madeline in Paris' as the theme for her 3rd birthday party.
Design Inspiration
There are so many iconic items from the Madeline book series - Madeline & her yellow hat, Miss Clavel, Genevieve & her puppies, The Old House in Paris, the Eiffel Tower, etc. So, it was pretty easy to pick things out from the book and make them work for the party. Also, it was fun to make kid inspired "french food" for the party to tie into the theme.

Favorite Items
I had fun painting and decorating the cardboard playhouse just like the "Old House in Paris" from the Madeline books. The kids had quite a bit of fun playing in it as well!
The puppy party was also a big hit with all the kids - who doesn't love puppies?
I also especially loved how the Madeline Cake topper turned out - just like I had imagined! And I found an Eiffel Tower candle that worked perfectly on top as well!
Looking for ideas for my granddaughters nursery. Theme is Madeline. Not finding much. Does anyone have ideas? I am thinking of using yellow and white polka dots for sheets , etc. thank you in advance for your thoughts!

Hi Emily,
I’ve searched for the wall decals everywhere and they are out of stock :(. Would you be able to sell me the ones you have? If you can’t or prefer not too, I totally understand.
Thank you,

I absolutely love your invites! I’m planning a Madeline party for my daughter’s first birthday. Where did you find the blue enclosures?
Where did you get the suitcases?
Tell me more about the puppy party. Also what games did you have. Beautiful!! Thanks!
are there instructions on how to make the projects? I want to make the hats and can’t seem to find how.
All of your projects are amazing! Who is your photographer or do you take the pictures as well?
Wow– you’ve done it again! I am always so impressed with the details and quality of your project. You’ve blown us away once again with this 3rd birthday.
