Summer's here and despite all the uncertainties, life goes on. And so do celebrations! OK, granted. We have to downsize our parties a little, keeping in mind location and a few other social distancing rules...but that shouldn't stop us from celebrating the special moments in our lives, am I right? We just have to adapt a little...and we're okay with that! So, today I bring you a super simple, low-key jungle themed party table with some fun and easy DIY decorations that still look and feel special, for whatever occasion or celebration you may be hosting this season!
Under The Sea DIY Birthday Party
My friend Virginie, editor of the french blog Maman DIY and of the french magazine La Tribu des Idées , created and styled this beautiful birthday party, to celebrate her son's 5th birthday party!

A Summer Backyard Camping Party with Free Printables
“This post is sponsored by Sony Pictures in connection with the release of Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. ” During the summer months I'm always on a lookout for easy ideas to keep my kids (and the whole family) busy and entertained. Are you the same? Even if we plan a vacation trip somewhere, there are those days where I find it quite challenging planning and coming up with a new bucket-list of exciting and fun family adventure to embark upon. This is why I'm so excited to kick off our summer this year with a movie + backyard camping party for my whole gang!

A Jungle Themed 1st Birthday Party from Brazil
Sometimes less is more. This sentence springs to mind with today's post from my little nephew Miguel's 1st birthday! Miguel lives in Brazil with my brother and sister in law, and although I wasn't present for the festivities, I helped to design the jungle birthday printables for his 1st birthday party, which is a huge honor for me! :) Here are the fabulous party photos styled and taken by Miguel's mom , who is not a professional party planner nor party blogger!

DIY Superhero Birthday Cupcake Stand
Did you catch the super awesome Superhero themed birthday party we shared earlier in the week? It was super creative and gave me the idea to use some of the printables to create a super colorful cupcake stand. This DIY is mega easy and you can make larger stands by varying the sizes, or even make several tiers like in this tutorial I shared a while back . The principle is the exact same.
A Pow Wow Superhero Birthday Party
The Superhero party theme is one of the very first I designed for the shop . So I felt this year it needed to be jazzed up slightly. Kinda like a printable makeover. Which ALWAYS gets me in the party mood! So I did a double happy dance when my good friend Virginie reached out to use our Superhero printables for her little Romain's 5th birthday party! Especially because we then get to see them in super pow wow action :)
A Japanese Origami Dojo Ninja Birthday Party
I love designing party printables for my friend and blog contributor Smita .

Smita and I having been working on parties for years now, and the printables for this Japanese Ninja party she styled for her son Sohan's 8th birthday, are one of my favs to date! Check out all the fun details she describes below.
Recipe | Chocolate Brownie Super Bowl Footballs
Any post that start with the word 'chocolate' is a winner, in my book. Especially when the recipe is easy, and you can make-ahead, and serve it in cute shaped football for a Super Bowl party , right?! Earlier this week I shared some easy and cool ideas to pulling off a fab Super Bowl party , and if you only copy one thing from that, then copy this recipe - It will be a hit with anyone, any age!
American Football is not no longer a sporting event that's celebrated in the US alone. The love of the game and the NFL Super Bowl has taken over the globe, and I'm happy to see so many bars where you can now watch the Super Bowl in London, Paris and all over Europe! So a Super Bowl themed party was really a necessity 'round here. Even, if like me; you're in it just for the food & the beer ;)
In honor of shark week, we have gathered the funkiest, most JAWsome party ideas for you. Sorry, couldn't help myself ;p I'm all for pink, glitter and frilly 'round here on the blog, but I also have a nature-animal-lover little boy at home, who adores adventure and the wild. And sharks (or anything with sharp teeth for that matter...) are an integral part of that. So for our Bird's Party Magazine Summer Issue , we selected a few sharp-toothed ideas that you can re-create at home! ;) Here are some more:
Baby Jam Music Inspired 1st Birthday Party
Ah, so nice to start the week on Tuesday, right?! ;) And to kick things off, we have a super adorable music inspired first birthday party from our contributor Smita . She ALWAYS pulls off stunningly creative parties for her kids with lots of handmade, DIY details; and I'm honored to be a part of it for her little Aashi's first birthday baby jam ! If you're into your crafts and handmade decor, you'll love how totally clever this party is!
