I was doing some research for Hill’s upcoming Star Wars birthday party this week and I ran across an everyday waste basket on clearance that possessed a striking resemblance to R2D2. Naturally, I brought him home and commenced the conversion process. Using hot glue, spray paint that adheres to plastic, duct tape in three colors (blue, silver and white), and random household objects I transformed

The special Dad at our house is celebrating his birthday today by working, working, and more working. Fortunately, he enjoyed his cupcakes and candles (not too many of them) yesterday with the little ones. We baked and decorated these homemade cupcakes in "Dad colors" and made a special cupcake topper to commerate the day. Thanks for being a great dad and Happy Birthday!

Earlier this week, a friend revealed to me that she had never heard of Pastry Art in Homewood, AL. More importantly, this person had never had the pleasure of eating a Baby Bite – those divine little nibbles of single serving cakes Pastry Art prepares every day in a variety of flavors like red velvet, turtle, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and more. Shocking! Appalling! I had to do something about

Some parties are designed so well, we just can't help but pass them along. Taya's Strawberry Shortcake birthday celebration, designed by Kara from Kara's Party Ideas, is one of those parties!

Your style doesn't need to be "country" to appreciate how these colorful bandana table decorations by Country Living can set the mood for a fun birthday celebration. At MerryB Events, we often use bandanas for napkins and placements. You'd be surprised at the variety of colors and designs available at Hobby Lobby!

We just love the color combination of Tiffany blue and cherry red. It’s a vibrant blend of the dramatic and the gentle that inspired the colors in our logo (which are a close match on the Pantone chart) – and this charming little affair designed by MerryB Events. Special touches balance whimsy and sophistication. A custom made banner (we found easy instructions on suite101.com) and color

Summer is the perfect season for a Camp Out birthday celebration. Whether it’s just a few hours (better for guests under 6-7) or a sleepover (best for 8-12 year olds), all you need is a tent in your backyard for everyone to enjoy the fun. And if the weather won’t cooperate, moving it indoors can be just as exciting for party-goers.There are so many choices when it comes to invitations. We found

The old gray barn my grandfather converted into a home sat at the end of a long gravel drive, behind a pasture, and surrounded by pine trees, dogwoods, and wisteria. The tall teal doors creaked when I opened them, but they were always inviting… and didn’t have a lock because people didn’t need them ‘in those days’. A graying silver box sat on the marble threshold anxiously awaiting the next

It could be simply celebrating summer that makes the Fourth of July one of my favorite holidays. But I think I love it because it’s a celebration of so many things– the birth of a nation, freedom, patriotism, battles won and lost, American life, good times, and food!This year, I’ve been especially reminded of the importance of patriotism – thanks to my 7 year old son. Earlier this month when he

With four kids under eight and a fondness for Disney, Sheila Rasmussen had no trouble deciding on a theme for daughter Kady’s 7th birthday party.

We’re always scouring the internet for posh party ideas and we thought you might like seeing some of the inspiring parties we find. This striking Raceway Birthday party was captured by photographer Jessica Claire. From the banners to the safety helmets, no detail is overlooked and it’s clear the children had a blast.

Next time you consider hiring a professional face painter for your child’s birthday party, think beyond the common ‘cheek art’ specialists and hire a true artisan – like our friend Elizabeth Jordan at Magic City Face Art.They recently painted veritable ark of God’s creatures onto the faces of a wait staff serving at a Noah’s Ark themed event. These images tell it all!The imaginative talent of

Several friends who saw pictures of the recent MerryB Event, Peyton’s Teddy Bear Picnic, have been surprised by how easy it was to make the glittery bear ears all the girls we wearing. So I thought I share the directions with you! First, get pre-glittered foam visors like these (in pink) from your local craft store. These are usually about $1.25 and come ‘ready-to-wear’. Your guests will be

According to my son, who will turn seven in April, there is a Star Wars themed birthday party in my future. I loved the original movie... or rather the first but technically the fourth movie ... The 1976 Star Wars was a favorite of mine, so I'm looking forward to planning the festivities.Ever the planner, I did a quick search of the web for ideas and uncovered these cute R2D2 cupcakes at Sugar &

According to our friends at Bama Balloons, more and more brides are requesting monogrammed balloons for wedding décor. We thought why not enhance a child’s birthday with them as well?You can special order any color combination through Bama Balloons. And if you want to add something truly spectacular to your child’s party, talk to them about creating a custom balloon structure to match your theme.

Valentine's Day is a few days away, but it’s not too late to host a soiree for your little cherubs. If you’re like me, it’s hard NOT to go over the top. At this late hour, you should focus on what can be realistically accomplished. The kids won’t miss those little touches you don’t have time to execute and you can bet they’ll still have a blast.You can keep things simple and precious with an

One of the biggest issues to come up when planning a child’s birthday party is controlling the number of guests. Between classroom friends, neighbors, family, team sports and Sunday school, the guest list can quickly grow to exorbitant proportions. Although your excited seven year old may have spread the word far and wide, you shouldn’t feel obligated to invite everyone. At MerryB Events, we

On Saturday, January 24, 2009, MerryB Events celebrated Peyton's 7th birthday with a beary special Teddy Bear Picnic. After transforming into honey bears, Peyton's guests were invited to make a special bear of their very own. Peyton shared her birthday magic by waving her wand over the beary new friends. Then her guests danced the magic Teddy bear dance.All the bears enjoyed a special picnic

A child’s first birthday party is the exclamation point on a year full of firsts. First bath, first tooth, first Christmas, and in some cases first steps. It’s no wonder we’re driven to make the celebration unforgettable even when baby won’t remember. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent planning my daughter’s first birthday party last year. Countless. I obsessed over every detail of her

Before the children, I delighted in changing my handbag daily to complement my outfit. Earning the scorn of maternal peers who’d been carrying the same bag for years was amusing. I foolishly thought my passion for purses could never erode to the point that I’d clutch the same bag for more than a few days at a time. Two kids later I am, admittedly, in a handbag rut. So a while back I decided to go
