Today’s Real Party is a delightful birthday party created by Bree from Surviving Suburban Motherhood. Bree created this charming Giraffe Birthday Bash for her daughter’s 3rd birthday. In golden yellow, pink and turquoise, this party is perfectly girly and fun. And the playful dessert table features a giraffe cake and cupcakes that are just adorable. Let’s take a look!


Here is a little of what Bree had to say about this event:
“I wanted to share with you the dessert table I put together for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. Her theme was giraffes. Everything was handmade by me, even the cake stands. Giraffes can come off a little boyish so I made sure to add feminine touches like the C of pink flowers as her centerpiece, the pink bows around the base of the giraffe head cakes, and the pink ruffled cupcake wrappers. The table was a huge hit! We served chocolate dipped marshmallows on a stick, chocolate dipped pretzel rods, cookies, cake, cupcakes, and jellybeans. The color scheme was a huge hit too, golden yellow, pink, and turquoise. For the dessert table “menu” and the jelly bean bag toppers, I wanted to keep the theme in with these items so I did giraffe print as the background and the font in pink or turquoise.”
A special thanks to Bree for sharing this adorable Giraffe Birthday Party with us. We love it!

Do you remember the KIA commercial from last year’s Super Bowl – the one that featured life size versions of the Yo Gabba Gabba gang and a sock monkey? Well, my husband was infatuated with that commercial! My favorite part was the sock monkey and now I seem to be infatuated with everything sock monkey. So when I saw today’s Real Party I was instantly in love. Take a look at this adorable Sock Monkey Birthday Party by Jennifer of Shutterbug and the Sweet Life.


I just love this party to pieces! Everything from the bunting to the cupcake toppers is sock monkey inspired. The ‘Monkey Munchies’ are such a cute favor and the glass Coke bottles fit in perfectly with the color scheme and retro feel.
Kudos to Jennifer on party well planned! You can read more about this charming Sock Monkey Birthday Party on Jennifer’s blog, Shutterbug and the Sweet Life. And if you’re still wondering about the KIA commercial… you can find it here. Enjoy!
I was so excited to receive today’s Real Party in my inbox. There are so many fabulous themes and parties for little girls but that is not always the case for little boys. So I tend to get very excited when I see a great party appropriate for a little man. This Vintage Car Birthday Party, created by Stephanie of Spaceships and Laser Beams, is not only stylish and fun but is achievable for even the busiest of moms. Let’s take a look…


I love the vintage feel to this party and the orange and blue color combination. And the cakes, created by
The Cake Box, are just perfect for this event. Here is a little of what Stephanie had to say about her dessert table:
“I call this dessert table a “life preserver for the mommy who is pulled in all directions.” The cakes and cupcakes were ordered from a local bakery. The mini cheese cakes, chocolates, drinks and even the apple slices (purchased sliced) were all bought from a grocery store. I think it’s realistic for the time constraints faced by many moms who work outside the home. And it’s appropriate for a small, in home gathering.”
A very special thank you to Stephanie for sharing this charming Vintage Car Birthday with us and to barebonephoto for the gorgeous photography. You can see more adorable party printables by Spaceships and Laser Beams in their Etsy store and on Facebook.
