This weekend we did the most special birthday party for two sisters turning 5 and 8.  The mom was looking for an activity that would be perfect for both ages, and so she decided to do a unicorn themed jewelry making birthday party.

This was such a fun party for us.  The girls made our unicorn themed bracelet package.  We brought our beautiful unicorn charms and lots of pretty beads, including shell, pearls, glow-in-dark, and lots of sparkly beads.

The mom did such an amazing job decorating the house with unicorn inspired decorations.  She ordered the most beautiful unicorn themed cupcakes.  She also did a beautiful candy kabob station to go with the theme of beading and the girls absolutely loved it!

The most perfect activity for a group for 5-7 year old girls and we were so happy to be a part of such a special celebration!

This post we are going to highlight an amazing 9 year old sleepover themed birthday party that we were a part of in Burlington, Ontario.

This mom was such a pleasure to deal with.  She and her daughter, the birthday girl, had a vision of creating a special slumber party and what they came up was truly unbelievable. 

The decor was so incredible.  The mom had custom teepees for all of the guests with personalized pillows and blankets.  She had trays in front of each teepee and the girls did their beading on the tray.

The mom also had a waffle bar, a movie snack station, and everything was rainbow, from the food, to the decor, to the birthday cake.

The girls made friendship bracelets to go with the theme of a sleepover.

This was such a fun party and we are so thankful to the mom for sending us these beautiful photos so that we could feature this incredible party!

This post we are highlighting a Sophia the First 6 year old birthday tea party in Toronto, Ontario.  This party took place at the King Edward Hotel downtown Toronto and was such an incredible event.  The King Edward Hotel has always been one of our favourite places in Toronto, and it had the perfect ambiance for a Royal Tea Party.   The birthday's girl's mom was one of the sweetest and organized  moms we have ever worked with and were were so impressed at the event that she planned.

The party guests made our fancy bracelet package with unicorn charms, we used purple beads to match the party theme.  After the beading was completed, the mom invited princesses and other entertainment for the guests.  The girls then had high tea at the stunning Toronto King Edward Hotel.

The mom decorated the event in purple and pink balloons, and decorated the tables with pink hats, purple flower petals and Sophia themed decor.

This was such an amazing party and we felt so lucky to be a part of it.  A big thank you to the amazing birthday girl's mom for sending us her beautiful photos and for inviting us to be part of such a special celebration.

We are so excited to feature this Woodbridge, Ontario birthday party for girls that we did a few weeks ago for two twin birthday girls turning 7 years old.  The theme of the party was unicorn and mermaid, each of the birthday girls picked her favourite theme and the guests had the choice of choosing a unicorn or mermaid charm.  The was such a fun and magical theme!  The colours of the party were teal, pink and purple and the mom made the event look so magical! 

The birthday girls's mom decided to hold the party at a local community center since she had over 30 girls attending.  The event started off with a tea party.  The girls had blue "under the sea punch" and sandwiches in the shape of unicorns and mermaids.  The mom also had custom unicorn and mermaid cake pops made.  The mother had teal and purple table cloths, with one half of the room decorated as an under the sea mermaid theme, and the other half of the room had rainbows and unicorn inspired decor.

After the tea party, all the girls made magical slime.  For magical unicorn slime recipe click here. 

The girls than made our fancy bracelet package and we brought teal, purple and pink beads and unicorn and mermaid charms.  The girls then did a fashion show with their best unicorn and mermaid poses and then it was time to go home.  The mom then gave out the unicorn slime and bracelets as the party lootbag.

This was such a fun party!  Thank you Ava and Allie for letting us be a part of your very special birthday!

We are so excited to feature this Toronto craft fashion birthday party that took place in North York, Ontario.  This was a very special 10 year old birthday party for us because the birthday girl had two older sisters and we have done their 10th birthday parties, we felt so special to have become part of this family's 10 birthday party tradition.  Because this mom had done two 10th birthday parties already, she wanted this one to be extra special and was really having a hard time choosing a theme.  We finally decided to make it a fashion craft party and it was a hit with this group of tweens!

The main entertainment for the party was our friendship bracelet package.  The girls all made bracelets with little heart charms that said made with love or best friends.

After the jewelry making was done, the mom made a runway inspired by a runway that she saw on pinterest (see top center photo).  The mom had a big box of feather boas, dress up clothes, sunglasses and hair accessories, and the girls had so much fun dressing up and walking down the runway.  After the fashion show, the mom had the girls pose for photos using a large frame that she had prepared.  She was inspired by a photo online, see top left photo.  The mom then printed out the photos and sent them out with her thank you cards after the party.

The mom had a cake made using the inspiration from the top right photo.  She made sure to have a necklace on the cake to go with the theme of jewelry making.

This was such a fun and special fashion craft birthday party for us!

We do so many amazing birthday parties such as a American Girl birthday tea party that we recently did in Oakville, Ontario.  This mom had so many easy and craft DIY ideas that we just had to pass on.

The mom invited all the guests to bring their favourite doll.  The entire party was planned with fun activities incorporating the dolls.   The girls made friendship bracelets with matching necklaces for their dolls which became the party loot bag. 

Then the mom set up the cutest tea party, with seating for all the girls and their dolls.  She made heart shaped sandwiches inspired by this blog post.  The mom also made a cake with the AG star on it and then added a tiara, such a simple idea but with so much impact.  The mom made star sugar cookies ahead of time using this recipe and then the girls decorated them and took them home as a loot bag.

It was one of the cutest parties and the girls all had such a great time!  For more American Girl party ideas check out our American Girl blog post.

We often are so inspired by the amazing ideas that so many of our clients come up with, that we have decided to start blogging about them to give other moms ideas of what they can do at their party.  This post we are going to highlight a unicorn themed birthday party that we did in Waterloo, Ontario.

This Waterloo, Ontario mom went all out for her 7 year old daughter's birthday party.  They came up with the idea to do a unicorn party when they saw what a hit the Starbucks unicorn frappe was with her daughter and her friends.  They decided that they wanted to do a party using the colours of the frappe and they went all out. 

They asked us to bring only teal and pink beads as well as unicorn charms to go with their theme, we were thrilled with how they bracelets turned out.

The mom also made unicorn bark using only 3 ingredients and it looked so pretty, here is how to make unicorn bark.  She also had beautiful pastel cupcakes and made unicorn frappes. here is the unicorn frappe recipe.

It was such a fun party and we were so happy to be a part of it!

In ten years of providing jewelry making birthday parties, we have been to many dance themed birthday parties.  This is no surprise since many of our little beaders dance and often invite their whole dance group to their birthday parties.

When doing a dance themed party the first thing you do is design your invitation.  There are so many beautiful dance invitations, but the tulle invitations are our favourite, and here is a video showing you how to make it.

The decor for a dance and/or ballet themed party is so beautiful.  Lots of pink tulle, gold sparkles, and ballet dancer cutouts.  You can make pink tulle table skirts and chair covers to make the party even more magical.

Food at a dance and/or ballet themed party is all pink and cream with gold accents.  Pink cupcakes with gold sprinkles, pink macaroons, parfaits, white bread with pink cream cheese, and pink lemonade.

Activities for your dance themed party can include musical chairs, hot potato, or freeze dance to ballet music, making bracelets using pinks and creams with a dance charm.  Decorating your down dance bag, or the girls can create their own dance and preform it at the end of the party.

We hope we inspired you with our dance party ideas.  Comment with any ideas of your own.  Have a great party!

Fruit kabobs are perfect for a jewelry making birthday party because they suit the theme of beading and they are also a yummy and healthy snack that is fun to eat.

Ingredients

•  strawberries
•  cantaloupe
• pineapple
• honeydew melon
• watermelon
• bamboo skewers

Directions

• If using wooden or bamboo skewers, make sure all the splinters are off of them by rolling two together in your hands, or rub them over each other, as if you are sharpening a knife.
• Cut the fruit that is not already small into 1-inch, or bite-size, chunks.  Another fun idea is to cut out fruit using cookie cutters to make hearts, butterflies or flowers.
• Skewer the fruit.  Finish the skewer with 2 blueberries on the pointed end to hold the fruit in place. 

One of our favourite party themes ever is a unicorn party theme.  We adore all the beautiful magical colours and how much fun you can have with this magical theme.

A mom booking a beading party was doing a unicorn theme and asked us if we could design a custom beading project for her party, of course we said yes, and we were thrilled with how it turned out and wanted to share this awesome party theme with you!

Party Invitations:
This is such an easy theme to choose invites for because there are so many beautiful unicorn invitations to choose from.  You can also download a printable invitation online such as this one.
 

Party Decor:
We adore the colour scheme that you would use for this party.  All pastel colours, such as pastel blue, pastel pink, pastel purple, pastel pink, pastel green and pastel yellow.  You would also use gold and gold glitter.

Blow up balloons in pastal colours and blow up clear balloons and fill them with glitter see here for instructions. 

Hang up dreamcatchers in pastel colours, you can make these yourself, like this beautiful one from Kara's party ideas. 

You can also make your own garland like this one in pastel colours to match your theme.

Party Food:
For a unicorn party you want the food to look as beautiful as possible and in pastel colours, such as marshmallows, chocolate covered pretzels, and unicorn bark (click here for recipe).  

When making your cake or cupcake, make the inside of the cake rainbow, this is such a fun surprise for the guests.  When making the cake or cupcakes, use pastel colours and lots of gold glitter.

Party Activities:
This party is all about magical fun.  Hand out unicorn horns to all of the guests to wear during the party.  Have them decorate ice cream cones with icing and sprinkles to make their own unicorn themed treat.  You can also play pin the horn on the unicorn and have a unicorn pinata.  Another fun idea is to have the girls make jewelry with a unicorn charm.  For more information about our fancy bracelet birthday party packages.

We hope that you have as much fun planning your unicorn themed birthday party as we had doing this post.
