Peacock Party for Brides, Grads or Birthday Babes

Peacock Party
PeacockPartyImagine my delight when Clare requested a Peacock-themed party for her 6th birthday. We had some fun handmade ideas but also found many cute peacock products on the market. During our research (a-hem, shopping) we found beautiful items for not only birthday festivities but bridal showers, graduation parties and weddings. Classic peacock motifs don’t seem to be going anywhere soon.

Today I’m going to give you a peek at the party. In another post I’ll share all of the product sources. I’m also happy to turn any of the handmade items into a tutorial although everything we did was pretty simple! Just let me know what you would like to know more about in the comments.
Peacock PartyA few days before the party Clare threw a wrench in the peacock party by requesting a classic “doll” cake. Since I had one for my own sixth birthday and it was one of my favorite birthday memories, I was happy to oblige. I think we pulled in the peacock-theme pretty well. Yes,the peacock princess has a bird on a leash. ha

One of Clare’s contributions to the decor was a peacock palace bird house.

With our leftover cake batter, I made these easy peacock mini-cupcakes. I really love them. So cute!

All of the girls painted and decorated their own birdhouse to take home. I was impress with how hard they all worked on them. I wanted to keep them in a row here on my windowsill.

Before the party, Clare took to the craft paper covered table with a peacock feather rubber-stamp. Not only did it add some charm to the tabletop but it helped the birthday girl work out some pre-party gitters.

In the corner we set up a photobooth and let the girls mug it up with costumes and props. They felt like stars and it ensured that I snapped a pic of each girl with Clare! Of course they are masked so it could become a bit mysterious down the line.

Then we played a few classic party games like our Knock ‘Em Down game. Kids love this thing!

By combining handmade with store-bought, we saved a little cash and our sanity and created a pretty and fun party to remember. Don’t forget to leave a comment if you want to hear more about these projects and products and I will make sure the info is in the next posts. Happy birthday Clare!

Great idea for a party theme! And beautifully executed as always. I love mixing it up with handmade and store bought so that you don’t go crazy trying to do it all yourself. Is it just me or does the doll look like you Jacinda?

lose inner thigh fat in 2 weeks

Therefore, you should be able to see all the gadgets to ensure that you lose thigh fat in 20
minutes, three times a week is nonsense. If you can do more
than 12 reps, the weight isn’t heavy enough. When building up her anticipation,
you are also building up your own too.

I love peacocks too, especially their beautiful feathers which were used to great effect, particularly on the little birthday host’s skirt. Absolutely beautiful! Fun and messy, the stamp pad and bird house crafting looked like a big hit, too. Terrific photos!
