frozen themed party platter

The best (BEST!) thing about the grazing board trend is that you can customize a party platter to virtually any theme. They’re perfect for brunch or dessert, they can be tailored to a special holiday, and they’re equally suited to matching a party palette (like this sunrise-themed grazing board) or a party theme- like this Frozen themed grazing board we put together for Bohden’s Olaf birthday party.

The steps are so easy- gather treats in your palette and theme, arrange on a giant platter, and serve at your party.

Rinse and repeat.

For our Frozen themed party board, we added Frozen 2 treats like Olaf, Anna and Elsa lollies and chocolates to a buffet of white candies (and marshmallows).

We even found the cutest Frozen 2 Pez dispensers to add to the lineup!

Guests grazed on Frozen themed treats throughout the party (I also put together a veggie board labeled “Sven Snacks” to balance out the sugar- ha!) and then took some of the goodies home as well. Such a win!

pastel halloween party

Even though Halloween and trick-or-treating aren’t really a big thing in New Zealand, last year, we decided not to let that stop us from our usual fabulous, group costume-y, October 31st festivities. Enter the most fabulous pastel Halloween party ever! Since we don’t really do scary or gory (which was 99% of the ‘halloween party […]

a paris themed birthday party

It’s no secret that Pi has loved Paris since she was teeny (remember her Madeline themed birthday party when she turned three? And the accompanying macaron and lolly station?). So it’s only fitting that, as she enters the land of double digits, she’d have a Paris themed birthday party filled with berets, macarons, mini eiffel […]

DIY hanging golden snitches (harry potter party)

We started off the Harry Potter Birthday Month Fun with our Mini Honeydukes and are going to keep it going with these floating golden snitches. The Harry Potter party guests thought these were the coolest. And then the figured out they were chocolates that could be plucked down to eat. And then they REALLY thought […]

the most magical harry potter birthday party

I cannot even believe how much I love this magical Harry Potter birthday party (see what I did there? But seriously. Magical). And what better use of corona-quarantine than finally going through 700 pictures and putting together the Harry Potter Brunch Birthday Party post. Before we start- here’s a quick list of Harry Potter Party […]

a unicorn birthday party!

Even though I’ve shared bits and pieces of this Unicorn Birthday Party (the mini DIY unicorn pinatas, the most gorgeous DIY felt flower garland, unicorn horn headbands, and DIY unicorn dolls), I still haven’t put together a post sharing the party itself. And y’all, this is just the sweetest, prettiest, most magical, most unicorn-ish parties […]

harry potter party- how to make mandrake cupcakes

Y’all. It’s been forever since I put together a post, and even longer since I did a full kojo party. But last weekend we hosted the most epic of all the Harry Potter parties and it must (MUST!) be shared. I will be honest- putting this party together was a little like plunging back in […]

make your own italian soda bar

Italian Sodas were pretty much our drink of the summer, and our Italian Soda affection has extended itself into the fall (literally, we have a lazy susan filled with syrups in our pantry as I type). As the holiday season approaches, the kids have been asking about adding Italian Sodas to our Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year’s Eve […]

a mountain-y bear party

Since we call Bohden “bear,” and since his little nursery has a (loose) mountain theme, we didn’t look far for a First Birthday (slash Happy Adoption Day) party theme- mountains and woodland creatures and bears (oh my!). Bohden pretty much loves food (all food), but has a special place for ChickFilA chicken biscuits, so we […]
