Good morning gals and ghouls! Michelle Knox of Ellery Designs is sharing her daughter Cami’s 6th birthday today… and you guessed it – it’s a Monster High Birthday Party that is full of ghoulishy GLAM inspiration. One of my favorite details are those {amazing!} cookies from Firefly Confections, and another freakishly fun idea to look out for is the dessert table “backdrop” made up of SIX banners!

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

• Monster High student ID cards, toilet paper mummy game & face painting
•  Fabric strip, crafted paper bow, and black star garlands (galore!)
• Skull shaped birthday cake + bright pink & blue frosted cupcakes with Monster High toppers
• “Drink Up Ghouls” water bottles with pink & black tulle + mixed pattern printable wraps
• Hand painted Monster High cookies featuring Blue Lagoon, Frankie Stein & more!
• “PARTY” DIY marquee lights, matching floral arrangements & polka dot/stripe party hats

PARTY DETAILS as told by Michelle…

This year Cami chose a  Monster High themed party since it’s her absolute favorite right now!  I had so much fun with this theme using a black, white, hot pink and aqua color scheme along with some major pattern mixing.

Rachel from *golden* made her custom tee and yes she hand cuts and sews everything herself – eeek!! I love how she incorporated the 6 in there along with glitter; because glitter makes everything better,  am I right?!

I adore the custom banners seen on the wall that Piggy Bank Parties made for her party – the detail is amazing and they look perfect! I  made the fabric garland that is draped underneath the bow garland.  I’ve been making those garlands since Cami was three and I hadn’t made one in a while so thought it would be a fun touch! I’m obsessed  with the fabric pennant banner and sparkly black star banner that is  seen across the front of the table handmade by Amy of Pearl and Jane.

I didn’t go overboard with the sweets this year. My friend made the  adorable cake that I simply added some sixlets around. Paige from  Polka Dot Bakery made the cutest matching cupcakes and I dressed them up using cupcake toppers I bought on etsy. I can’t even begin to  describe these totally amazing cookies hand painted by Sandy of  Firefly Confections. Her talent is pure genius and I can’t even  think of words to express how amazing these are!

The light up “PARTY” DIY Marquee Letters are from Heidi Swapp’s  line at Michael’s which if you follow me on Instagram, you know are  my new favorite thing!! The lights are battery operated and the  options are endless when it comes to decorating the letters! SO fun!  My sister is a florist so she made the gorgeous flower arrangements  and I also decorated some of the areas using Cami’s favorite Monster  High Dolls.

One of my favorite things are the Monster High Dolls we gave away as  party favors. I was on the hunt for them months before to find them on  clearance/sale so it didn’t break the bank and all the girls LOVED  them! They were all so excited to take one home and for many of them,  it was their first one! I didn’t spend much more than I would have on a typical goodie bag that let’s be honest, is normally full of  junk.

I also loved the Monster High Student ID Name cards I found on etsy. I  had them printed on a removable sticker paper so they could wear them  around like ID Badges. It was a great day and the girls all had a  blast! I hired a face painter, which was a big hit and the favorite game had to be the toilet paper mummy game!
