We recently attended an amazing Olivia the Pig themed party for our 5 year old neighbor. Here are some of the fabulous birthday party ideas her mom used that I plan on stealing borrowing and you should too.
Forgo the disposable party supply table cloths and buy bold pieces of fabric.
Make your own birthday banner. Not only is it reusable for multiple kids it also makes a great keepsake for the child’s memory box.
When it comes to goody bags, skip purchasing the themed ones and decorate the bags yourself! Also, try matching the items inside the bags to the party theme and ensure they are age appropriate for each party-goer. For Example because my children are younger the hostess included Olivia board books in their goody bags.
As adults we often think to have fresh flowers at our parties, why not have them at a party for kids? Especially when you can tie it back to the party theme.
And lastly, I LOVE these custom water bottles. The hostess even provided red and white paper straws!
So, which one of these fabulous party ideas would you like to steal? How would you make it your own?

Okay, that is a ridiculously cute party!
Hmmm….Matthew’s birthday is next month. I’m feeling inspired.
Oh so cute! I need to get my kid those books so I can steal the whole party concept.
I love these ideas for a birthday party. The colors are beautiful together.
