Today’s real party is a beautiful birthday party submitted by Krista of Kiki’s List. We first introduced you to Krista when we featured her daughter’s Yo Gabba Gabba party. Well today we’re excited to share this adorable Princess and the Frog party which Krista put together for her older daughter’s 5th birthday. In shades of purple and green, this party is the perfect example of how to make a ‘character party’ modern and chic.


I love how Krista created a monogram with her daughter’s initial and then incorporated it throughout the party. What a great way to tie all of the party elements together. The flowers are so lush and the cake, created by
Tastefully Treated, is absolutely gorgeous.
A special thanks to Krista for sharing this adorable Princess and the Frog party with us. We love it! You can find all of the how to’s and vendor resources on Krista’s blog, Kiki’s List.
We definitely have the opportunity to feature more girl parties than boy parties here on Half Baked. So I’m always excited to see a well executed theme appropriate for a boy. And today’s Real Party is just that. This darling Train Birthday Party in blue and orange was created by Sweets Indeed. If you’re not familiar with Sweets Indeed, you will be now. Their candy and dessert stations are completely over the top fantastic! So let’s jump on board for this adorable train party.


This party is just perfect for any little train lover. Whether your little boy is a fan of real trains, Thomas the Train, or any train. Sweets included chocolate chip cake pops, vanilla cupcakes, and puffed rice treats on sticks. And I love that healthy options were included on the dessert table to include fresh fruit, celery and carrot sticks.
A special thanks to the girls over at Sweets Indeed for the fabulous Train Party inspiration. See more of this party and oodles of other amazing dessert tables on their website and blog.
