Ziggy Stardust Inspired Space 5th Birthday Party – Part 1

Ok. This post has been a LONG time coming. My issue, when posting my parties, is always how do I organize it? I totally over think it and try to make sure that there aren’t too many photos etc. I get too wordy and I am burnt out writing the posts before I’ve even started. So here is how this party is going to go: I’m posting full photos, not collages. The photos that Dez and Tam took blew my mind and I want to show you as many of them as I can. I’ll point out things here and there but for the most part, the photos will do the talking.

To remind you all, this party was a Ziggy Stardust inspired space theme for my son’s 5th birthday party. While most of the kids and parents wouldn’t know much about the story of Ziggy Stardust, I wanted to do a sort of glam rock inspired space party. Above is the invitation that we created. We had our friend Casey add the lightening bolt to O’s face. It turned out awesome!

The cupcakes, smash cake and Push Cakes (all vegan) were by Meringue Bake Shop and everyone LOVED them.

Kristin of Meringue Bake Shop made a special guest appearance.

I used a ton of fabric accents throughout to add color. For these lollies, I just cut small rectangles of fabric, wrapped the sticks and used a Glue Dot to secure them. Super simple but extra special.

I have tried to group photos together in sections and I will be posting them over the next few days to spread them out. I hope you all enjoy the party. It was super fun and the kids and parents really enjoyed themselves. And how ridiculous are these photos? I am so beyond thrilled with the shots that Dez and Tam got. Truly amazing talent and there couldn’t be a sweeter family. For real!

Sneak Peek – Art Gallery Opening Reception 4th Bday

A few weeks ago, we held my son’s 4th birthday party. I like to be really creative with my parties, as my son is really creative, and this year we decided to go with an art party. But not a traditional kid’s art party. After attending several art gallery openings or parties recently, I decided to give O his own art show. The invitation above features his own artwork and sets the tone for the party. It was totally kid friendly but arty and cool. I can’t wait to show you the rest of the party.
