Rainbow Party Ideas

Birthday Party Season is in full swing around here!

My kids usually opt for a "character" theme, which is fun, and easy.  But one day I hope to plan parties that aren't based on a Disney Princess or Sesame Street character.  I know, I'll miss it one day...but I'm just sayin'

There are so many other fun and fabulous birthday party ideas out there and I can't wait to take a crack at one of them one day!

So today I wanted to show off a few fun and fabulous ideas that I think would make a great Rainbow Party!

Pirate Party Ideas

Ahoy, Mateys! It's a pirate birthday party post with inspiration from several talented gals! This first featured party is by Live Smile Celebrate. Printed fabric is used to make the awesome sail including a pennant banner attached to the top - great backdrop for a food or dessert table.

Corks and pirate labels are added to root beer bottles for the little details that set the pirate mood.

Loving this party idea...grub box with black and white striped napkin. Party designed by Polka Dot Prints and Whimsey Petite Styling via here.

Twine love.

Pirate sails add the perfect touch to help recreate the High Seas.

Our link up party starts tonight at midnight 12:01 AM Eastern Time or 9:01 PM Pacific Time. Make sure to come back and share your awesomeness - kids rooms, kids parties, baby showers, DIY projects, etc.!! 



From now until October 31st we are adding our Halloween Link Up Party. It will be DOUBLE the fun because we are having TWO parties - our regular Link Up for kids ideas and Halloween ideas....

For the Halloween Link Up Party, I'm allowing Etsy sellers to join too! If you have an Etsy site (or selling site) and you have adorable Halloween items to share, you can link to the Halloween link up only.
