Unicorn Birthday Party Invitations

Like any other party, we started the party arrangements by printing party invitations. I decided to keep it simple, And, created a powerpoint slide with

Then, simply added all the what and when details. We printed the invitations out and stuck the printed image on a beautiful cardstock. Inside an envelope, it went and ready for hand out.

It doesn’t get any simpler than that!

No time for DIY

Or simply preferring to grab some ready-made, pretty printed ones. I can highly recommend

Baking the cake is always one of my favorite parts of arranging a party. I love working with fondant icing and creating this coach with a princess and a unicorn was lots of fun.

It was so easy to create

• stuck onto the marshmallow using a little sugar paste

So easy and yet so cute!

Unicorn Birthday Party Pinata

I made the first pinata 2 years ago and since then it is the first thing my kids ask for when we plan their birthdays. It became one of their favorite birthday traditions!

Why do you want to have a pinata?

• it not only adds to your party decorations but
• also creates another activity and
• give the kids toys to play with at the party and
• take home as party favors   We always fill the pinata:
•  not only with sweets but also
• with a lot of small toys

as I am not a fan of having too many sweets around …

Top Pinata making tip

Make sure the toys you add won’t break when falling on the ground.

No time to make your own pinata? No problem, luckily they are readily available online!

There are few things as precious as sharing the awesome moments afterward by looking at the stunning photos together. You will both get to relive the magic again and again!
