Unicorn Birthday Party Ideas

Unicorn Birthday Party Ideas

When I get asked to do a party theme that's already been done a bazillion times, I have to admit...I'm not super thrilled about it.

If you know me, I'm all about the challenges of fresh, new, "less-traveled" themes.

However, when your little niece...who just so happens to be the cutest little 9-year-old on the planet...asks for a Unicorn Party, a Unicorn Party she gets.  She's lucky she's cute!  

So, here you have it.  My attempt at creating Unicorn Birthday Party Ideas that you'll hopefully find unique + inspiring.  Enjoy!  :)

Happy Fall, Y'all!

Happy Fall, Y'all!

Break out the sweaters, y'all...it's FALL!!!  :)

This is my absolute favorite time of year!  

The trees bursting with color, the crisp fresh air, apple picking, baking, tailgating, football games...I just love all of it!

In fact, when I had my first baby and my Lamaze teacher had us choose "focal point" pics for the delivery room, I chose a gorgeous pic of Fall trees to whisk me away from the unmentionable pain of childbirth.  {Let's save that story for another day, shall we}?

Anyhoo, to welcome Fall, and to get you just as excited about it as I am, I'm sharing this fun "Hello, Sweater Weather" printable art print with you...for FREE!  :)

Salon Birthday Party - PART 2 - The Fun Stations!

Are you ready to see the most adorable little Salon Birthday Party that there ever was?

Salon Birthday Party - PART 1 - The Decor

Salon Birthday Party - PART 1 - The Decor

When my niece told me she wanted a "bathroom party" for her birthday I had to hide the look of horror on my face.  "Ummmm, a what," I asked?  "Auntie Jen doesn't think she heard you right, honey."  

After a little chat with my sweet girl, I realized, thank goodness, that I absolutely did not have to come up with a party revolving around toilet paper and other unmentionables.  

What she meant to ask for was {what I have totally more appropriately named} a Salon Birthday Party.  

A party where you get your hair done and your nails painted....which usually happens in the bathroom.   Ahhhhh.  See?  A soon-to-be-8-year-old's version of a bathroom party.

Since she wanted to invite some of her boy buddies to join the fun, and they definitely wouldn't be interested in the whole salon experience, we broadened the theme a little  more, and the party officially became a "Salon & Stache Bash."

Now that, Auntie Jen can do.  :)

Sammy & Nat offers a luxe baby collection of 100% pima cotton rompers and onesies, which served as inspiration for the baby shower.
