William's Vintage Toy Party

We love it when someone has an idea for a theme that we haven't thought of before!  That was the case when we had the opportunity to plan a 4th birthday party for a sweet little boy named William.

William's mother had an incredible collection of 
vintage toys, and she came to us with the adorable idea 
of a "Vintage Toy" themed party and we ran with it!

The party was held at Lakeway City Park under their pavilion, 

which proved to be the perfect place for the event.

We used primary colors, vintage style fabrics and 
alphabet flashcards to set the tone for the party.

I made the

blocks out of packing boxes, colored 
card stock & 
duck tape. 
It was a 
really long
process, but
I was so 

happy with 
the way they 
turned out.

We set up our own version of a vintage candy shop, complete with vintage style candies for the guest to stock up on.  To finish out the look we used a vintage tricycle and desk, adorned with a big "W" for the guest of honor!  The table was a great focal point for the event.

* A special thanks goes out to Tara Camp of "Revival" for 
letting us borrow some great vintage pieces for the party.

Here is a closer look at our 

Candy Shop!

We set up various 50's and 60's styled children's games on the back portion of the pavilion and used some of our pinwheels attached 
to the railing to add some additional color. The kids enjoyed 
being able to bounce from one activity to the next!

For the tables we used various fabric runners, 
 over kraft paper table coverings.

We set out some vintage toys and crayons for the guest to play 
with and personalize their space.  The centerpieces included marbles, jax, pinwheels and mini gum ball machines 
filled with jellybeans that served as party favors.

We made banners out of the coordinating fabrics and the 
vintage style alphabet flashcards, that we strung up 
around the perimeter of the pavilion. The picture doesn't do them justice, it was a little windy and hard to get a really clear 
shot, but was one of my favorite elements of the event design.

We had a great time planning this party with

William's mother and expanding our repertoire.

We look forward to celebrating with them in the future.

See you soon!

Pixies & Pirates

We had the opportunity to help an adorable little girl celebrate her 5th birthday this past Fall, and while I know I'm a little behind in my blog posts- I'm excited to share some of the photos with you now.  Enjoy!

This was our dress up station, where our precious pixies got into their costumes for the day.  The girls had so much fun doing their makeup and helping each other into their tutus and fairy wings.  We had a lot of little helpers too, which made our job a whole lot easier (and a lot more fun)!

After the girls got into their fairy costumes, we helped the boys into their pirate attire and then it was off to races with our first activity of the day.... the scavenger hunt!

The host family let us stash clues all over the property and the children had a great time following the trail of hints to the treasure chest waiting for them at the end of their journey.

Once the final clue had been answered it was time for the girls to learn a fairy dance to "Waltz of the Flowers" (which they later preformed for their parents and other guests.  They were so cute, I wish I would have gotten a video).  

While the girls were twirling away, the boys headed outside to play "A message in a bottle" with Ms. Natalie.

After the first batch of games were completed it was onto the back porch for lunch and the ever important birthday cake, YUM!

Here are the tables for the Pixie's Tea Party.    

I think they turned out really cute!

We didn't forget about our 

rowdy band of pirates!  

They had a special table all to themselves.

No Pixies Allowed!

After the last crumb of cake was
eaten it was back inside for our
last round of games.

The girls played pin the wand on
the fairy, while the boys pinned
the eye patch on the pirate. 

(I wish I had a picture of the pirate game, 

but it was on the backside of the 

sandwich board with the fairy on it). 

I will try to get a picture of it next time :)

It was so much fun planning this party.  The children were so sweet and polite, it was hard to believe they were only 5 years old.  

(I hope my little one is as enjoyable 

to be around when she's that age).


Thanks for checking in!  
I should have more parties posted to the blog in the 
next few days so visit us again when you have a chance.
