DIY Birthday Party Ideas
Evelyn Kirchner created her very own candyland board in her backyard. The best part, she is not a fancy blogger or party planner, just a mom who uploaded a picture of her child’s birthday party. See… you can do this!
This bubble station is so cool! I think the most frustrating part of playing with bubbles is the constant need for refills, No worries here. La La’s Home Daycare created a DIY bubble station where she uses a drink dispenser and cleaned out yogurt cups.
This is great for parties or really any day of the week when you have small children.
Guff.com shows us how to take ordinary plastic cups and make them extra sparkly when you add glitter. Such an easy idea, but it makes them so fancy. Perfect for New Years Eve, too!

I loved all of these ideas for cool candle centerpieces on Martha Stewart. This looks so sophisticated, but would work well for any gathering and you can customize the color, too! There are loads of ideas on this page, so be prepared to scroll for some incredible inspiration!
This champagne bar from Honey and Fitz is such a stunning display. It looks so elegant, but really it is just a bunch of balloons blown up to different sizes and taped to a wall. We can do this people… and for any party! You could do red and black for a ladybug party or pink and black for minnie mouse. Various shades of green for Ninja Turtles… you get the idea!
When I think of a Sundae Bar I think of sprinkles and some chocolate syrup, but this is so adorable. Pop Sugar has shared this Mason Jar Sundae Bar and I think it is the smartest idea! The ice cream is already in the jar, so no scooping. If someone doesn’t finish, put the lid back on a throw it in the freezer… genius and not to mention so stylish.
I so want to be this kid. If you’ve ever visited the blog Jen loves Kev, you will see that she creates the most quaint, but stunningly beautiful parties for her children.

Okay… stop the presses. This is the cutest party bar I’ve seen in ages. Featured on Style Me Pretty, this is the most stylish sleepover I’ve ever laid eyes on! From the tiny pom poms on the milk glasses to the stacked sprinkled donuts, I’m in love with this and I am certainly not a kid anymore! Maybe I need to plan this one for my girlfriends. That poster in the background rocks, too!

I love the candy land back yard, what kind of paint did they use to create it, and how long does it last in the grass?
Thank you for sharing these ideas. I think the Candyland backyard game is a great idea and I’d like to try it. But what kind of paint did the use to create it, and how long does it last in the grass?
