Fabulous Kids Parties

My mom passed along the magazine Celebrate by Phyllis Hoffman a few weeks ago to show me an absolutely adorable article that featured a fun little girls party, along with some tips for all party throwers to be.  This particular party (thrown by Kate Landers Events, LLC) had a fun lady bug and polka dot flare, and of course pink was the color of choice.

I've always been a fan of pink and polka dots, so this party definitely tickled my fancy.  Among my favorite items that the party was sprinkled with were pink tulips, polka dot straws, and lady bug cake pops. Here are the pdfs for bottle labels, cake toppers and tent card, as well as a ladybug invitation, favor tag and address label.

Having been in the business of kids parties since 2009, here are some of Kate's  top tips for a fabulous event. Keep the guest list small, usually the age of the child plus two is a good number.  Also, timing is key, host your party between 1:00 and 4:30 p.m.  No meal will need to be served, which will keep messes and costs down.  Place cards are functional and pretty, they also make guests feels like they each have a special place.  Invest in some classic linens and tableware, they'll carry you through years to come.


Enjoy and have fun!
