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!!!

taylor's easter party ~ good friday

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!

the pennant banner

a little affair does various banners, take a look at this pink happy birthday one.

it's very exciting here at a little affair, we have so much stuff coming up to share with you...

Valentine Treats

how sweet are these cupcakes all wrapped up and ready to be delivered to your kids little special people in their lives????

here is a close up of one of our handmade cupcake wrappers, they are available to co ordinate with any theme ...

dino party

what little boy doesn't like dinosaurs? we had the chance to create a few items for ethan~o~saurus's 4th birthday party.

we made vanilla & chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing.

supplied them with personalized water bottles cupcake toppers laminated loot bag tags that can be re~used as bag tags.....super cute!!!

the party was a huge hit. the hostess served dino chicken nuggets and the kids gobbled them down. there is nothing like a great party at home. as the kids played the old fashion games the parents relaxed and caught up with old friends.

Pinkalicious Fun!

the story Pinkalicious by Elizabeth Kann was the inspiration for this 5th birthday party.

we made loot bag tags that could be re-used on luggage etc., these ones only have the party guests name but you could also have a personalized thank you message.

we did a jelly bean guessing game, dressed up some otherwise plain paper cups and made pink sparkly sugar cookies. Everywhere you looked at this PINKALICIOUS party you saw pink! So much fun...

atop of our delish nut-free cupcakes are cupcake toppers, the party girls had never seen these before...they were a huge "wow"!

water bottle labels, a center piece designed to look like a page from the book and handmade loot bags that were of course filled with all things pink, were highlights from this amazing PINKALICIOUS party. We made a cupcake out of felt that was used to play "hot potato".
