a party full of pink, princesses, ponies & more

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)I can’t believe I’m just sharing this party now, y’all. Better late than never, though. Especially with a party this cute!

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)Piper’s birthday party this year did not quite pan out the way we’d planned. The original plan included a princess-y, garden-y vibe (kind of like the new Cinderella movie) and lots of Rifle Paper Co. goodies and a whole pile of paper flowers. In Saipan. And then Typhoon Soudelor hit a week before Piper’s birthday and made that plan a little unattainable.

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)After throwing around all sorts of Plan B birthday party ideas (ponies! And princesses! And Paris! And pink!), Burke realized that almost all of Piper’s favorite things, and party theme suggestions, start with the letter “P.”

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)And so the pink, princess-y, pony-ish “P” party was born.

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)The brunch menu, of course, only included foods that begin with “P.” We served pastries, pumpkin scones, pop tarts, plums, pears, peaches, Pork (bacon), Pink cinnamon rolls, and a Paleo egg casserole.

Looking for an easy (and inexpensive!) way to add "wow" to your next party? This Soda Pop Bar is perfection! So cute, but easy on the budget and on the prep time.…and the Pop Station.

Lots of “P”s (including a couple marquee P’s that will end up as bedroom décor for her!), tons of pink…

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)…a garland of piñatas, and a pile of pink and peach petals.

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)As a side note- I was SO sad when our original pile of paper flowers was Typhoon-ed. And I was totally questioning re-making a whole wall of paper flowers.

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)But, y’all, Piper is the kind of kid that totally notices little details (especially party details- that girl loveloveloves parties). And she LOVED the paper flowers. Like thanked me a hundred times and showed her friends over and over and just. kept. gushing. about them. 100% worth the effort it took to make paper flowers (twice- haha!).

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)For activities, there was a P Scavenger Hunt, a photo booth, and Painting on the Porch (the biggest hit, hands down).

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)The “Pram Packed with Presents” (aka favors) included peach polkadot gift bags filled with petite pies, “Pretties” (nail decals and accessories), peanut butter pumpkins, and pink polkadots (gumballs).

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)I think the best part of this entire party was the turnout. Not only did a couple of friends from Piper’s class show up (she was so excited!), my sister has such a great group of friends and they brought their kiddos and presents and just generally made Piper feel special and celebrated at her party! If you have ever gone out of your way to welcome someone or include someone new in your community, know that it means so much! Gestures like showing up at a birthday party are so significant to them (or at least, they were to us!).

a party filled with pink and petals and princesses and ponies (lots of birthday party ideas!)After a Saipan Party That Was Not, an extra jet-lagged actual birthday (we’d just gotten back stateside), and a maxed mama trying to juggle typhoon aftermath and solo parenting, I was not exactly sure if we were going to pull off a birthday party this year. But it was such a fun one- who would’ve guessed!
