Amazing, Jenn!!!

Even cuter than I had imagined! Can’t wait to see more.

So fun! I love the pillows. Candyland is one of my favourite childhood games.

That party was for Trista and Ryan?! How fun! It looks like a total blast. I’m thinking of doing a (scaled down) version for my son’s birthday next month.

Wow, looks like a great partY!!!

LOVE how you used the paper lanters as candy. Such a cute idea!

What a fun party! You did such a great job. I can\’t wait to see more. The lunchboxes for the little ones are adorable.

This is fantastic! I love all the colors! I love how the theme is in every detail…you did an amazing job!

Max looks so adorable with his face full of chocolate! I bet all the little ones at the party had a crazy sugar high with the candy buffet! If I were a kid again, this is definitely the party I would want to be invited to!

Awesome party! Every detail is perfect! Thanks so much for sharing. Aren’t they the cutest little family!

Dude, you’re in Life&Style.

Okay, it’s not Newsweek, but come on - that is awesome! Fun!

What a beautiful party for such a beautiful family! Can’t wait to see more pics…and suddenly I’m craving skittles and licorice!

i love the decorations along the fence!

Such an amazing party Jenn! It looks like so much fun!

I would love to know more about the themed lunch box. I am dying to do something like that for a back-to-school party. Could you provide me with your source? Thank you! :~)

Hi Shari -
The custom lunchboxes were created by Em Tanner: http://www.emtannerdesigns.com

They’re super cute, but also a little pricey if you want to do a ton of them…in addition to party favors though, they’d also be super cute as centerpieces, in which you’d probably need less!

Em Tanner has lots of other cute stuff too - check out the custom tees and plates

Oh my gosh, So CUTE! That’s a party everyone of any age would love to go to. Who can resist a candy buffet?!

I love this party it’s so sweet! and would you please tell me were you got the lanterns from?

Hi Brooke -

Both the Chinese lanterns and the Paper Daisies used for the giant lollipop border are from Luna Bazaar: http://www.lunabazaar.com

Very inexpensive too!!

I just found out the shirt Trista is wearing can be found at http://www.shopdreem.com…I LOVE it…she looks great!!

Hi Jenn,

Great theme party…where did you get the cute paint tins for the favors? It looks like Sweet Factory on the label.
Thanks.

Thanks, Tracey!

They are little Sweet Factory pails - and SF actually just sent them with the candy, so I’m not sure if they sell them individually. I didn’t see them online, but I’m going to ask the person I worked with over there next week. I hope they do sell them because they were the perfect size and super cute. If not, you could always use mini takeout cartons in either translucent or solid colors.

The container store also has some other cute pails/tins, but some of them could get a little pricey depending on how many people are at the party! Here’s the link:

OMIGOSH.. I LOVE THIS… I AM ACTUALLY PLANNING MY DAUGHTER’S 2ND BRITHDAY WITH THIS THEME AND I CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE SEARCHING FOR CANDYALND STUFF

I’m helping with my niece’s b’day party who will be turning 4 next month. I was surfing the internet for all candyland ideas and your info came up, so I can not wait to share this with my sister. I’m so glad to see you and your family are doing well.

I’m planning my daughters 1st b-day party, which happens to be a candy theme. I sent out lollipop invites, and I was wondering if you have any other creative decoration ideas or games in mind. I loved your sons party setup it was amazing…….
