Purplicious Party



as you already know, we love the story Pinkalicious, by Victoria Kann. so when we were asked to do a Purplicious party, we were super excited. this is the purplicious party we did for lily's 6th birthday!


the one and only ... birthday girl

the lucky girls that attended this party came dressed in purple. they listened to the story Purplicious, they decorated crowns, the played pin the cherry on the cupcake and had their nails painted ... purple of course!




the purplicious girls ate purple cupcakes, ate purple candy and even the fruit and veggie dip was purple! they played a guessing game with a jar full of purple jelly bellies and then took home a bead kit full of purple and pink beads.

lil miss cupcake party

we had so much fun helping connie plan gulianna's 2nd birthday celebration.
as the kiddies arrived they were greeted with hundreds of bubbles blowing everywhere (thanks to the bubble machine).
the theme of the party was 'cupcakes" and the colors were pink & purple as i'm sure you've seen. we decorated with tissue flowers and lanterns, a large cupcake banner personalized for gulianna's special day hung just above the candy bar. and of course a picture of the birthday girl displayed.
the food was delish...fruit kabobs with marshmallow dip (recipe on easter blog), mini cheese kabobs, veggies & hummus & turkey rolls ups and a whole other menu for the adults.
keeping with the theme the kids were thrilled to have a glass of icy cold purple kool-aid.
a little affair also provided their special touch with vanilla bean cupcakes topped with buttercream icing and their famous themed cupcake toppers. ohhhh and let me not forget the edible shimmer sprinkled on top!!!
custom water bottles are a always fun ($2 each)
what party wouldn't be complete without a mini candy buffet?
each child left with a take out container filled with candy and a tag thanking them for coming to the party.
as well as the take home candy they were all given a fish in a square glass vase with a personalized bag tag ($2.50 each with the cupcake theme & child's name).
wow...that was such a cute party!!!!
we are currently working on a purplicious & sweet candy shop party...stay tuned for the details!!!

marshmallow fruit dip ~ combine 1pkg of softened cream cheese & 1 jar of jet-puff marshmallow cream until smooth. add a few drops of food coloring or paste to match your parties theme and voila. the kiddies will LOVE it!!!
wow! i don't even know where to start!
i couldn't be happier with how taylor's easter party came together.
the sun was shining and the kids were awesome!!!
a big thank-you to cheryl my crafting partner and to susie turner for the gorgeous pics of the entire party...she captured every moment...thanks susie...you ROCK!!!

the party began at 10am. the children arrived with their easter baskets and rain boots and then we gathered in the family room for an easter story read by cheryl....
we proceeded to the ravine in our backyard for the egg hunt. each child looked for eggs with their initial on it (eggs were stuffed with tattoos, buttons, bouncy balls, stickers & chocolates, of course). as we crossed the shallow water, a few of us got soakers, all part of the fun!
after the egg hunt we headed back to the backyard where the kids decorated eggs (we hollowed them out) with rhinestones, gems & diamonds and of course shimmer dust. they did a great job in not cracking them. finally it was time to have some easter treats and yummo cupcakes.
as the kids left, taylor gave each child a bead kit customized in easter colors with a thank you tag attached.
i had a fantastic day and the planning was super fun and i just can't wait till next year!!!
please leave us your comments, we'd love to hear them!
~lots more pictures to come~
