Children’s party planner Donna Collins (from Southern California) shared this bright, festive slumber party- she’s full of many great ideas!

threw an old school for her son and his best friend at the park…she raves, “It was a huge hit and would be easy to recreate in a frugal manner!” For more details, click .

Another favorite Aussie with another . Too fun! The apron cake, the make-your-own pizzas, the utensil favors- someone had a blast coming up with .

Tania’s saved one of her most fun parties for the boys (thank goodness, I was starting to get jealous that I couldn’t have a tea party or sleepover for my little G). The paper chains, the repetition of the same letter in various sizes and mediums, the graphic color palette- all are right up my alley. Plus- I’m in love with the dangling donut game…

I can’t help but ooh and ahh over these adorable little girl parties. How I would have loved playing grown-up at this tea party! What a dream…more from Tania here.

I fully believe there is something in the water in Australia…every party I’ve ever received from an Aussie is truly divine. Tania has graciously shared three of her brilliant parties with me. The first up- a sleepover! Check out the details…I really can’t get past the girls-tucked-in-bed cake.

Great colors and fun party elements for Max’s first birthday- check out the full story here.

Very cute 3rd birthday bee party…created by mom, Megan. Check out the ‘pollen collecting buckets’, along with other fun details- here.

If you (or more likely, your child) are a fan of Sesame Street- you should check out Christopher’s 3rd birthday party, hosted by his mom, Jenelle. The cupcakes are super cute.

I’m sure I’m late in the game discovering the brilliance of Rifle Design. I adore the illustrative style, and was thrilled to see she (Anna Bond) is an Orlando resident (just outside my hometown of Winter Park, FL). She even designed a whole suite of wedding items for a Winter Park wedding…the ceremony took place at my rehearsal dinner site. I love making those connections- sometimes the world feels so small!
