So, a little while ago we gave a little tiny sneak peek of a Birthday Party we have had in the works for some time now. A little diva turning 9, who loves animal print and anything that makes her feel like she is a star, totally ruled this party theme! We decided on hot pink and zebra print with a dash of glam for added flair and the results were a completely girlie pink and zebra explosion! We finally have all of the details and photos to share with you and we hope you love it as much as we do!
The birthday girl was dressed to impress! She wore a beautiful hot pink, white, and black tutu with a zebra print bow from Atutudes as well as a custom made shirt with her name from Ooe & Auti! Her younger brother wore an oh-so-adorable shirt from Ooe & Auti that read "I'm just here for the free cake!" The girlie theme just was not for him, but his shirt told the world his story! Last but definitely not least, the birthday girl's baby sister wore an ADORABLE outfit completely made from Amy's Buttons & Bows! She had a custom made onesie with her first initial, "C" in zebra theme {of course!!}, zebra print bloomers with hot pink ruffles on her little bottom, zebra leg warmers, and a beautiful headband with black, pink, and zebra print rolled fabric "flowers" and topped off with a few black feathers. The children were just too adorable! These outfits were great for the party and would be SO perfect for in studio photos! So adorbs!
With printable decorations designed by none other than The TomKat Studio {so amazing!} the guests were greeted with a welcome sign as they entered the hall {yes there was a hall!}.
The little ones played BINGO on custom made BINGO cards which matched our theme {of course!} courtesy of Little Bees Graphics. They also enjoyed playing "5 Minute Makeover!" where they got to break up into groups and makeover an adult {we're talking, hair, nails, eyeshadow, the works!} the best they could in just 5 minutes! That was a truly hilarious sight!
The room was covered in hot pink and black, zebra balloons provided by Party City {they had SO many wonderful decorations & supplies to go with our theme!}.
The dessert table was absolutely to die for! Draped in a table cloth from Party City, and wrapped with a beautiful ribbon garland from A to Zebra Celebrations, it featured Valentine themed M&M's and Hershey Kisses {the party was just before V Day!} which were served up in glass candy dishes from....THE DOLLAR STORE! Yep we said it! Sweets were provided from some pretty amazing vendors who we absolutely LOVE! There were Fudge pops from Jewel of the Lion, Cake Bites from Bite Size Delights by Ann, Glam Cookies with GLITTER from Firefly Confections, Chocolate Covered Double Stuffed Oreo Pops from Hansel & Gretel's, Hot Pink & Black Zebra Cupcakes from Kake Korner as well as a beautiful, fit-for-a-princess cake also by Kake Korner {they are SUPER talented!}. Not only was everything completely gorgeous but EVERYTHING {and I do mean everything} tasted amazing! There were no sweets to take home at the end of the party because they were such a hit, they were completely devoured!
All of the amazing goodies were labeled with adorable pink & zebra cards from The TomKat Studio and the cards were displayed on place card holders handmade by Dazzling Expressions.
Party City provided us with all of the serving bowls, paper plates, cups, plastic-ware, tables cloths, etc. They really have it all! Magnolia Creative Co created the custom "Alyssa" plate for the birthday girl as well as the "A" tray we used to display the Fudge Pops {from Jewel of the Lion}.
April of April's Freetime hand painted a BEAUTIFUL vase for us that really added a sparkling touch to the dessert table. We filled the vase with gems from Party City and Fudge Pops. The custom vase was oo-ed and ahh-ed over by all of the guests!
Hot pink and zebra print poms from Perfect Poms were used to decorate the cake table and provide a beautiful background for the cake and cupcakes from Kake Korner. The cupcakes were topped with adorable pinwheels from Pinwhirls as well as custom party circles from The TomKat Studio. They were wrapped in matching cupcake wrappers also provided by Pinwhirls! Completely FAB!
The Cake Bites from Bite Size Delights by Ann were beautifully displayed on a cake pop stand created by Ali's Keepsake Art Cakes. Alison is simply amazing and will custom create her stand to match your theme. We absolutely love ours and since we didn't use cake "pops" but rather bites, she left out the holes for us in true custom fashion.
As guests made their way to the exit when the party was over, they were thanked with custom made favor bags from Creative Expressions. The favor bags were filled with some super cute and oh-so-girlie, pink & zebra themed goodies. Glam Lipstick Cookies from Firefly Confections, which were tied off with "Thank You" tags from The TomKat Studio, were a lovely parting treat. Each little girl received a custom handmade zebra hair bow with a hot pink princess crown from Grace Bows, and a pair of zebra print Baxies!
We have heard such rave reviews from all of the guests on every little detail of the party from the party printables {banner, welcome sign, invitations, water bottle labels, party circles, and thank you tags} to the goodies, to the display items, to the favor bags and treats. Everything was a HIT! We hope you love it as much as we do and if you are inspired to throw a zebra print bash, whether it's for a child such as this was or baby shower, or even for a bride-to-be, hot pink & zebra is a HUGE hit right now!
