Kara’s Party Ideas: Zebra Birthday Party Winner

The winner of Kara’s Party Ideas Birthday contest was Nancy who designed this fantastic zebra birthday party for her daughter. We love the bold graphics of black and white zebra print used throughout the birthday party. You’ll find a gorgeous zebra cake, zebra party hats, a zebra manicure, zebra pinata, balloons, lollipops, fabric prints and pin-the-tail-on-the-zebra. The bright pink accent color was amazing with the black and white, but you could use any color the birthday girl loves. The only thing missing from the birthday party was a real live zebra, but we think that’s probably ok.

A zebra theme was a fabulous pick for this four year old’s party, and would also be fun into the tween years. I’m thinking of cute zebra print cosmetic bags with lip glosses for preteen girls zebra party favors. Check out the awesome pics!

Disney Princess Birthday Party Invitations, Princess and Frog

The princess birthday party theme is so lovely for young girls, and offers many opportunities to personalize your little girl’s party experience. One of the first things to consider is if you’re referencing a specific princess such as Snow White or Cinderella, or a more general princess theme. We suggest that for the younger princess birthday girls (say, for a 1st birthday) keep things simple with a general princess theme. When the princess is old enough to identify with specific princess characters, allow them to help decide the type of princess she wants to be.

Planning our princess birthday party, one of the first things we consider after identifying the date and guest list is the party invitations. Here are a few particularly adorable princess birthday party invitations.

These round
Birthday Princess Invitations (8) come in a box of 8 with envelopes and are designed for a 1st princess birthday party. They are an adorable pink with white dots and leave plenty of space to include all of the information.

Another sweet invitation option is this beautifully illustrated
Snow White Invitations (8). This is the perfect invitation for a little birthday princess and all her princess friends. This is a particularly wonderful choice for a girl’s 7th birthday party because the original story says that Snow White becomes the “fairest of them all.”

Also from Disney, we liked these
Princess and the Frog Invitations (8) welcoming guests to a special princess birthday party. The Princess and the Frog is a story about a little girl named Tiana who is mistaken as a princess. With the Disney movie coming out in just a few days, we think this party theme is going to be huge in the coming years. These lovely invitations will coordinate beautifully with color palettes including lavender, blues and light greens. Be sure to select a gorgeous tiara for the birthday princess!

Paintball, Laser Tag Active Theme Birthday Parties

This is one of our favorite types of birthday parties for kids. There are so many options to take the birthday party, and make it an active, creative and unforgettable experience. (even educational!) They often involve less preparation on your part, allowing you to enjoy the birthday experience as well. You may think of something like a bowling party or mini-golf, but experience-theme birthday parties are now at another level, high in energy and fun.

My punchbowl says:

“Some of the more active parties include paintball, laser tag, indoor skydiving, indoor karting, and feed the sharks experience. For the kid who likes to learn, there is the mad science party, mission space party, and even the candy factory party. Then for the creative kids, there’s the design your own clothes party, junior theater experience, and the rock & roll experience. “
