A girly birthday party is my fave

April 28, 2009
I spent all last week vising three of my sisters and squeezing in as much time as possible with six crazy kids. Part of the fun was helping plan and carry out a very girly, 9 year old birthday party. Here are the stats-

Of course there was a banner and pom poms, all crafted by me. Heck yes.

Then there were three stations: hair, make-up and nails. My sister Alicia whipped out the up-dos like it was her job and my other sister Nicole rocked the nails by adding sparkly decals. Every little girl’s dream.


Then there was a make shift photobooth and all the girls struck a pose.

And of course they had to decorate a frame to bring home their best shot in.

And to top it all off, a purse cake made by Nicole. Success.

Need help with an upcoming birthday party? Pay for my plane ticket and cook for me and I’ll be there. I’m especially fond of pot roast.

    I have decided that my new “free time” hobby will be to create a party idea binder…using lots of your great ideas! That way I am always prepared to have the coolest party!
    You are so fun!

    Were those the Martha Stewart pom poms? I love those kits!

    If only I could pay for your plane ticket, you’d be out here planning my 30th bday immediately :)

    Cute party! I would have loooved this when I was 9 (I think I had a “proper” tea party for my ninth b-day and got to use real china, which was quite the thrill).

    These will be such fun memories for all the girls. Love the photo frame idea!

    Wow…I am doing a 13th Rockin Birthday Party tonight and we are doing almost the exact same things you did! :)
    Hair and Make-up, Nails, Photo booth, and decorating notebooks hopefully using one picture from the photo shoot.
    I’ve added lots of glam to the party area so I hope the girls feel like 13 year olds and not little girls. We’ll see. :)
