Morning, all! Did you catch yesterday’s pastel rainbow birthday for twins? Always fun to see a super over-the-top birthday bash. But today we’re taking a look at some party ideas you could pull off right at home, like mama Kristen Dimond did for her daughter Piper’s 4th. She went with an under the sea theme and decked the whole place out with mermaids, shells, and lots of sparkle. Thanks to Alison Bernier for sending this our way! Love all the little embellishments on the cake Jen Tee Bakes designed. How cute is this sweets spread? On-theme sugar cookies as a major kids party must around ..read more

What do you do when your little dude is obsessed with Mamma Mia? You throw him a very festive (and very musical!) birthday party, that’s what. Molly of Almost Makes Perfect threw Arlo a sky-themed birthday for his first trip around the sun, but now that Mamma Mia 2 is his fave flick, she and her hubs knew it would be the perfect creative challenge. Did we mention that A’s grandparents even performed their own ABBA medley for guests?! Keep scrolling for photos from Brandi Welles… Molly designed a bunch of fun Mamma Mia themed posters and printed them through Mixbook. And they turned the ..read more

Not sure we’ve ever shared so many beautiful life events from the same couple as we have creative mama Samantha Dapper and her hubs Kyle. Back in 2014 we featured their Parisian engagement party +  Palm Springs e-sesh. Then of course there was this cute tropical bridal shower and finally, their stylish Palm Springs nuptials. Hooray! Then last year we were all smitten with Samantha’s sweet (and very French) backyard baby shower. Somehow their little dolly is already ONE! Naturally a French first birthday was in order and Corrie Lynn Photo captured the sweetest photos. So honored to have shared ..read more

Morning, mamas! If you need us, we’ll be here scrolling through this super adorable girl’s birthday party Love of Character sent our way, in order to distract from the fact that IT’S ALREADY AUGUST! Face palm. Lucky for us, this tiny girl gang knows how to bring the sunshine indoors, so you could pull off this “bird of a feather” theme any time of year. Thanks to Alison Moore Photography for the cute snaps! The Tiny Girl Gang t-shirts are from Jean & June. Their shop is the CUTEST. It’s all things flamingos and swans over here! Everything went down at Love of Character‘s cute Kan ..read more

Isn’t this painted backdrop Jacqui of Deets & Things made to complement these incredible cakes from Sweet Deetails just perfect? Jacqui has designed quite a few birthday bashes for this sweet fam all in their same backyard, which we’ve featured on Cakelet over the years. From the modern camp themed birthday to the “party like an animal” bash to this tropical 2nd birthday, they’re quite a testament to all the routes you can go for a party right at home. Thanks to Caitlin Alohilani for capturing all the under the sea fun! Sweet Deetails came up with these three textural birthday cakes. Fi ..read more

Is it really summer vacation if you didn’t throw a shark-themed party for the kiddos? There’s no better time either, with Shark Week coming up this Sunday, as Beijos Events prepared us for with this party! (Thanks for keeping us in the loop, team!) They gave their shark theme a little more drama with a big “chomp” backdrop behind the cake and a “party at your own risk” warning you’ll see in Alison Bernier‘s photos. Naturally the boys ate it right up. Chomp some cake… Clever! We see why Frost Your Cookie is the go-to for kiddo parties in SoCal these days. Did you know they have summer bakin ..read more

Beautiful blooms sure take the whole balloon backdrop idea up a notch, don’t they? This little dolly’s entire birthday party is covered in pretty balloon installs, actually, along with jewel-inspired elements that follow the theme “more precious than jewels”. See everything One Social Design whipped up for Aria’s 2nd as captured by Nancy Ramos Photography, below! Gaby’s Balloon Decor was behind all the mega creative balloons throughout: One Social Design styled up tables featuring arrangements from Inessa Nichols Design near the play area outside, and for more formal seating inside ..read more

If you wanna know what every kid *really* wants for their 5th birthday party, this “Food Five” bash by But First, Party! is totally the answer. We mean, a food fight?! Pretty big undertaking, sure, but it’s a lot more fun if you know what you’re getting into. This particular party comes with a colorful, confetti-inspired design and lots of artsy details, like this big fringe banner from The Shift Creative. See more photos by Billye Donya Photography below! We have to say… this popcorn-topped birthday cake looks pretty darn delicious. Aren’t all the confetti-inspired colors and shapes so ..read more

Well, we’re pretty smitten with this “two-nicorn” party coming to us from mama and party planner Kaylee of Riner & Company, in honor of sweet Paisley Rae.
