I was featured & AWESOME Night Owl Pajama Club Party

My birthday 80's theme Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun party was featured today on Creative Party Place....yea!! I am very happy that it was featured and love looking at Shannon's blog for real parties.
Speaking of real parties do I have a absolutely gorgeous party to share today! DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS!! Jamie from Giggledust parties is amazing!! She is a fellow children's event party planner- you know I love that!!! I love nothing more than a unique party! This girl is super duper talented. Here are some pics of her wonderful party and description from her. Please check out her blog....her pictures are bigger- I can't get them the same size!! Boy, I really hate being technology challenged!! The inspiration for this party came from several things: my daughter’s wish to have a sleepover party, an adorable stuffed pillow I saw at Target, and the fabulous “bed” tables from Jenn at HWTM and Donna at Party Wishes.
This party was hosted in the evening from 7-9pm and the girls came dressed in their favorite PJs. The activities of the party centered around the girls becoming members of the “Night Owl Pajama Club:” Night Owls love to stay up late, dance in the dark, hang out with their friends at the Night Owl Clubhouse and dine on their favorite snacks: cupcakes and ice cream sundaes!
The “bed” was designed from two twin comforters that were sewn together to act as a tablecloth. I used a coordinating sheet set for the pillow cover and bed sheets that were visible at the head of the bed. The plates and mugs were from Rosanna, Inc and I found the brown chargers on the fall closeout aisle at Target. They really were a perfect match and made the plates pop! The napkins were sewn by my Mother using material we found at a local fabric store. And, last but not least, my hubby made me the headboard and foot board that completed the bed table!
My favorite element of the party was the Night Owl Clubhouse. I mean really, how cool is this! A girly retreat with pretty fabrics, plush comfy pillows, and your best girl friends to chat with! This was the clubhouse that I always tried to build myself as a child but was never really able to pull it off with the dining room chairs and various knitted afghans from around the house.
I had so much fun designing the sundae bar trying to channel the “Amazing Amys”: Amy Atlas and Amy at Eat.Drink.Chic. I used a shower curtain from Target for the backdrop, various containers from HomeGoods to hold the toppings, and the Soda Fountain Cups from Rosanna, Inc. Not bad for a first try!
More importantly, the girls loved it and really enjoyed making their own sundaes!
What talent....thanks for letting me share your party Jamie. I'm looking forward to being one of your new BFFs!
