Kickin' Soccer Party

Soccer season is starting and there is no better time to share
my daughters end of the season Soccer Party from the fall!

These little Bees were great this season! 
They played there little heats out for an Undefeated season!
GO BEES!

Us soccer moms planned a laid back party with pizza, cupcakes, and
time for the girls to just be girls and play for once!

I planned the dessert table was fun to design
and as sweet as the girls themselves!

I designed the printables
black, white and pops of yellow to match our team name.


The girls snacked on
Cupcakes....

Cake Pops....

White Chocolate Popcorn in self serving yellow chevron bags....


White Chocolate Oreos were dressed up with
candy soccer balls and arranged on a place mat of artificial grass!
These were definitely my favorite!


I wrapped the drink glasses with black sequin ribbon and attached
a party circle!  All girls need a little bling right?!


Water bottle labels and a Banner....


The girls were all sugared up and left in the hands of the hostess!
Now that was a long night...Sorry Nicole! 
Maybe next time we will do a Fruit and Veggies themed table!
No way!

Hope you enjoyed the party!
All of these items are available in my shop.

Elves Wanted: Holiday Class Party

I know we have not even gotten to Halloween yet...
But I am so far behind I am just now sharing my
daughters 2nd grade class party from last year!

On with the party and details!
I decided on an Elves Wanted theme party!

Classic colors of Red, White, and Green decorations
As you know with class parties, you have about 30 minutes to set up!
That puts party people to the test!
I love the rush though!
Does that make me crazy?

Here are the details....

The kids had sweet treats and played a few games and crafts!
Cupcakes serve a crowd!


I used a cardboard box and wrapped it up with white paper like a gift!


I used a second smaller box to display these swirled lollipops.


Popcorn and sweets!
One of the kids favorite treats are Rice Kripies!
I drizzled these with red chocolate and arranged them standing
for a more interesting display.
I hand stamped these flat spoons with "Fa, La, La, La, La",
and inserted them into the treat!

My very sweet cookie friend on Etsy at
made these cookies specifically to match my
printable set!  They were so cute...and TASTY!


After a few treats it was time for Reindeer games....
Pin the nose on the Reindeer!


Each student decorated a cocoa cup insert
to take home and enjoy over the holiday break.
This was my last year to host an intimate class party!
This year it is done as a grade level?
How does you school do it?

Never to early to start planning those holiday parties!
You can find all of these Elf Printables in my Etsy Shop!
Come by and see this party and many others!
