I love to entertain and plan parties! This blog is a collection of photos and parties that I have hosted and decided to share with family and friends. Hopefully, you'll find something that inspires your next event or have a "new find" or party idea you would like to share.

Safari Party

We're Going on a Safari Tour!

My son loves animals (perhaps a future Veterinarian) and he
wanted to have his birthday at the Global Wildlife Center with a safari.
I found a precious invitation, by San Lori, at a local stationery store and printed myself.


The cake matched the theme and was decorated by a local bakery with a partial globe on top and safari animal faces on the side.  I made matching cupcakes with safari picks to satisfy the little ones.


Brownie Bites, Giraffe Sugar Cookies, and Rice Crispy Treats




Party food was the traditional easy pickup:
chicken tray, finger sandwiches, fruit tray and chips.
What's a party without punch?
Jungle Juice, green Hawaiian Punch.



Plastic vine garlands and inflatable safari animals hung from rafters in the
tree-house gazebo and served as centerpieces on the table,
purchased from Oriental Trading.


The Birthday Boy had a banner at the entrance of the gazebo.

Feeding the animals was lots of fun.  They tried to eat the cups!


The Gazebo was a perfect setting over a coy filled pond
with a beautiful view of the Wildlife Acreage.


Pith hats and binoculars (purchased from Oriental Trading) were given to all fellow Safarians.
