    Tropical Paradise Party!
  2. Shop The Tallulah Collection

 

  1. Let's celebrate in paradise! For Mila's 11th birthday, she wanted a lush tropical paradise party - complete with toucans, flamingos, LARGE flowers, and LIVE tropical animals, oh my! I designed a line of colorful party accessories with bright color tones, and exciting props to help bring in the tropical vibe. Paradise Awaits!Picture

    Flower Lei Basket

  11. Everyone received a flower lei when they arrived, and got to choose their color from the flower basket. We also decorated all the indoor spaces with live and faux flowers, which really bought the "tropical paradise" indoors.

    Tropical Fruit Cups
  18.  
  19. For Mila's tropical paradise party, I designed several fun and easy party foods. I used plastic beverage cups as "fruit Cups" just added forks for easy eating. This adds instant color to the table with minimal effort - Win - Win!

    "Tropical Coconuts" - Chocolate Malt Balls
  26.  
  27. I love using clever phrases for simple and easy finger foods. It give the feeling of super custom, but the ease of just "open and pour in a bowl" is PRICELESS!

    Happy Birthday Mila!

  31. I attached a flat place card to a card holder, and buried in the Hershey's® candies with personalized circle stickers. I finished the effect with double sided pennant sticks for added fun. It's a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to really make a fun appetizer for the dessert table.

    Food & Dessert Tables
  34.  
  35. I always have a dessert/snack table that is separate than the food/dinner buffet. This is great for large parties, as guests can "snack" on the dessert table before the meal.

  39. I make a fun "Beverage Station" sign for the drink bar, and placed faux botanical flowers throughout to make it feel tropical and full of color.

  45. I love to have a separate beverage station with a variety of refreshing beverages. I always include water as an option, as the South Texas heat can be so oppressive! I also include sprite bottles so you can mix them with the fruit drinks for a "fancy" drink that the kids LOVE!

    "Paradise Water"

  57. Everyone knows I LOVE party straws! I personalized them with Mila's name and age 11 in colorful pink and green colors. The gold straws are the perfect "bling" to add to the rustic nature of an outdoor party. Completed the effect with fun mini drink umbrellas - Cheers!

  61. I got fabric from JoAnn Fabrics® for the tables, and combined color tones of pink, green, and gold to complete the look. It also helps to have a mix of textures to the fabric, to really give it a layered effect. Faux leaves and branches help achieve the rustic aesthetic and dramatic outdoor look.

    Centerpiece Stick

  65. I used centerpiece sticks in all the flower displays, both inside and outside, to add instant color and custom touch to the arrangements.

    Water Balloon Toss
  68.  
  69. "Toucan Party Better Than One!" Water Balloon Toss was a BIG hit! It was a very hot and humid day, so the toss quickly turned into a water balloon frenzy of water "fighting". It was a great way to cool off!

    Large Poster Sign Framed
  72.  
  73. I framed the large game sign poster and hung it over the back of a chair with curling ribbon. It was fun, easy, and was a great way to mark the space for the games.

    Flamingo Toss Game

  77. I used fun garden pink flamingos and pool rings to make this fun and easy game. The kids loved it and everyone who played got a prize!

    Mila's turn to take a swing!
  80.  
  81. I gave out participation bags for playing the games. It's a great way to get the kids involved, but make sure everyone that plays gets a prize! I did pineapple drink favors for the boys, and pink flamingo drink favors for the girls. Mahalo!

    Treat Boxes

  87. I love to give a parting gift, and these awesome treat boxes are the perfect touch. I did 2 box color options to keep it fun and colorful. I filled the boxes with amazing goodies, Hershey's® chocolate (of course, it's my fav) and finished the box with gold "11" for Mila's age - so fun!
