paddington bear in the garden birthday partyWe are so excited about the Paddington Bear movie coming out in 2010, as he is one of our all-time favorite children’s characters.  (I still have my little stuffed Paddington bear I received as a kid).  Loved worldwide, Paddington Bear’s story is that of an immigrant arriving in London and trying to find a home and a family. Wearing his signature Wellington boots, he sports a label around his neck saying “Please Look After This Bear. Thank You.” Next year’s Paddington’s movie release is sure to endear another generation to Paddington.  The movie will draw from all 11 of the Paddington books written by Michael Bond.

We love the Birthday Girl Blog and the way she laid out these different images to help conjure up a birthday party theme.  This is such a fun way to think creatively about birthday party plans.  This inspiration board for a first birthday winter “one-derland” with a pale blue, winter snow theme is just lovely.

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.

We’ve been so thrilled by the gorgeous home birthday parties we’ve been seeing lately for both kids and adults.   This one, from the Hostess With the Mostess (hwtm) blog really stood out as an adorable first birthday party idea beautifully executed.  Using Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are as a party theme, she combined purchased reusable paper decorations, homemade items and a sweet costume from Etsy. We loved the colors and the creativity involved from decorating fallen tree branches with die cut leaf decorations and pretty wrapping paper as a table runner.  She had a delicious array of kid-friendly healthy foods like cut fruits, apple sauce and popcorn balls.
