PARTY DETAILS, as told by Nicolle…

When friend and loyal Libby Lane Press client, Amy King, started brainstorming ideas for her daughter, Libby’s 4th birthday she looked no further than what inspires Libby most: Music! Libby may only be 4, but she can be found singing along to the most popular tunes on the radio and choreographing a routine or two with her older sister. Next, reserving a space at a local kids music school for her party seemed like the best locale for this birthday concert. Custom invitations were created in spring colors to mix the whimsy and pop-star fun for this star’s April soiree. The invitations were mailed in vellum envelopes filled with music note confetti to prepare the VIP guests for the fun that was in store for them!

Diy Decor

Record Cupcake Stands: Libby’s mom wanted to keep with the music theme, even if the children had no idea what about records, so she scoured local flea markets for vintage records to use as party décor. After painting wooden candlestick holders and applying hot glue, she had created stands to display the glittery cupcakes topped with fondant toppers that mirrored the invitations perfectly. With the extra records, she created charger plates for each guest.
Record Banner: Using classic 45’s with small holes drilled on the sides, glitter scrapbooking paper and printable circles, a “Libby is 4” banner was created to debut in front of the dessert table. {Tip: Be sure to bring heavy pins or even screws to hang the banner.  It’s easy to forget how heavy the vinyl records make the banner when setting up on party day!}
Confetti Circle Backdrop/Table Runner: It is always a struggle to create a custom look at an off-site venue, however Libby’s mom did a great job incorporating DIY crafts in coordinating party colors to disguise the bare white walls.  Using a large paper punch, Paper-Source cardstock and Baker’s Twine – an easy and affordable backdrop was created. The iridescent fringe curtains were draped against the wall, then layered with the Confetti Circles.  The string of Confetti Circles were also added as a runner down the long guest table.

Desserts

The dessert table included music-themed treats like sparkly microphone cake pops, custom shaped guitar, music notes and personalized sugar cookies and glitter-topped cupcakes with fondant toppers.  At each VIP guests’ seat, they were greeted with Rock Candy in coordinating party colors and Pop Rocks.

Activities

Since this party was hosted at Back to Rock, the musicians had plenty of activities planned to keep the music-loving guests entertained in between sugar breaks.  Each child had a chance to play the drums, sing and as a group they recorded “Happy Birthday Libby” as a keepsake for the birthday star. The party concluded with a group dance party on the stage with the birthday girl, front and center, in all her of her glory.
