Enchanted Fairy Birthday: Photo Album + “Toadstool” Bites
categories: kids party ideasThe rest of the pictures from the Enchanted Fairy Birthday Party (see Sneak Peek from yesterday) are now up on the HWTM Facebook Page! Complete details on how to recreate this theme will also be up in the Party Themes section before the end of the year, but in the meantime feel free to ask any questions you might have either here or over at the photo album.
Also – while browsing for some inspiration on Flickr, I came across this ridiculously clever themed appetizer idea that is definitely worth sharing:
Little “Toadstools” made out of hard boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, and feta sprinkles…ADORABLE!

Hi Tracy and Ali -
Sorry I’m just now seeing your questions!Ali – the butterflies are from an online shop called Heart to Heart. Here’s their URL: http://www.butterflycraze.com
Tracy – I made the invitations myself – so glad you like them! I found the fairy and tree/branch graphics on istockphoto.com and assembled everything in Photoshop.
I’m partnering with a stationery company soon though – so eventually a similar design will be available to order custom-printed online, but it will be a while before they’re available…more to come on that later

Hi! I am having a “FAIRY FIRST BIRTHDAY” for my daughter on March 14th. I was inspired the moment I saw this party! If all turns out as planned I will share some pics on the facebook fan page. I wanted those invitations SOOO bad but am not too very familiar with photoshop
Feb 25, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I found some very cute fairy invites at Papershouts.com and they turned out fabulous!! Thanks for this great party idea!!! -
hi dear… your party was amazing!!! where did you get the poster with your daughter”s name on it?
Feb 28, 2009 at 10:03 am
thanks!! -
I love the decor of your party. I absolutely loved the glass green tall vase that you decorated with Saxyn letters. Where did you purchase it?
Feb 28, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Thanks! -
Mariana –
Thank you for the sweet message! I actually custom made the poster myself using illustrations from istockphoto.com (my background is in graphic design).Lisa – I bought that glass vase a while back at Home Goods for only about $8! They’re a discount shop, so their inventory changes constantly, but they always seem to have similar items…Ross and Marshalls are great places to shop for things like this too!

I Love what you did for this party!!!
My daughters 1st birthday is coming up in a couple of months and plan on a theme of lady bugs, dragon flies and bumble bees.
Have you ever done a theme on ladybugs? Can you help me with any suggestions?? I love the butterflies you used for this party and on purchasing some.
Thank you for being an inspiration.

I am looking for more information on your Enchanted Fairyland Party. I’m thinking of doing this for my daughter’s 1st birthday party and would love to see some of your ideas. I can’t find your posting under the Party themes or on Facebook. Can you help me?

Hi! I love love love this! But my daughter has quite a few boy-friends from preschool. As far as goody bag goes, what should I give the little boys? They’re ages 3-4. Thanks!

Here’s the direct link to the album on facebook:

Aeilene –
You could do something wizard themed for the boys – like wizard wands, hats or something Harry Potter themed!*****
Annette – The placemats are actually 12×12″ scrapbook papers! I bought them at a local scrapbook store. Wish I could remember the exact name/company that makes them but I’m blanking on that right now. If I can find them again I’ll let you know! But there are tons of papers available, so hopefully you can find something else that will work either online or at a craft or scrapbook store near you. Michaels and Joann both carry lots of papers

Thanks – I’ll check out the facebook site. Where did you get the hot pink letters you used to spell Saxyn’s name on the green vase?
Jul 30, 2009 at 12:33 pm -
I got the pink shimmer chipboard letters at Michaels but they should have them at scrapbook stores too – they’re actual purpose is to be scrapbooking embellishments
They’re by a company called Making Memories. Here’s one link I found online but it says there are only 2 sets available at this place right now:

Hope that helps!

Can you up load the posters that you created for this party? So it can be downloaded like the cirque de bebe party package. I would love to use one to play pin the star on the fairy’s wand….thanks!

I’m trying to plan my daughter’s 1st birthday party just after Hallowe’en and since she will be a flower fairy for the night, we wanted to incorporate it into her party. Did you post the how to’s on party themes? I’d love to know where you got your fairy images!
Oct 9, 2009 at 7:56 am -
Hi Stephanie –
I haven’t posted the how-to’s on this particular theme yet – so sorry! I purchased the fairy silhouettes used in the poster & digital invite on istockphoto.com though.
I’m actually planning to post downloadable template for the 2 fairy posters tomorrow though, because I’ve had a lot of requests for this lately, so if you want to use these exact designs, please check back tomorrow!
Cheers,
