Candyland Birthday Party

November 3, 2009 by 11 Comments

 Feast your eyes upon this perfectly executed Candyland Birthday Party by Andrea Swenson of Bon Bon Bebe. As you can imagine, Andrea was inspired by the Candyland party styled by Jenn at HWTM, and she certainly hit it out of the park when she put together this party for her 3 year old daughter and 28 of her little friends.

 The centerpiece of the party is of course the candy table flanked by 2 smaller tables. Andrea used fabric from IKEA to top the candy table and even cut “ribbons” from that fabric to help decorate a candy serving stand. She made the cute cupcake toppers and cotton candy toppers herself.
The round tables were set up to hold the take-home favors: a Candland game, and a clear bucket to be filled with all of the candy. The pretty decorative stickers on the buckets were from Paper Peddler.

 A party cannot rely on candy alone, so Andrea set up some carnival-style games (from Oriental Trading & Party City) in the back yard, as well as a craft table to keep the young ones busy. Andrea found the fun candy pillows on Ebay, and made ‘lollipops’ out of round foam discs, paint, and cellophane.
Below, is a picture of the birthday girl and her sister. The Adorable little tanks are from Andrea’s Etsy shop, Bon Bon Bebe.
 Thank you for letting me share this fabulous party Andrea! You have surely inspired many!
