Beary Special Birthday Ideas! {Bear Party Theme}

Coming up with budget friendly and creative birthday party ideas is something I love doing. 
You don't have to spend a fortune to create an unique and fun themed party for your kids.
Last year, Little Miss had a "Bear Themed Birthday Bash". When my friends at Surf Sweets heard this, they asked me to share some of our beary special birthday ideas on the blog!

Party Pants: I Scream, You Scream... (6th Birthday Party Ice Cream Social)

Little Miss had an Ice Cream inspired 6th Birthday Party this weekend. I wanted to share some of the creative food & fun we had! :)

Craft Complete: Crepe Paper Wreath **only cost $0.63!**

Little Miss's birthday is rapidly approaching! I have been keeping on busy on the weekend doing various crafts and decorations in preparation for her party. *Theme & more info to be revealed at the end of the month! It's a secret!* I will, however, share this super simple & inexpensive craft she and I did together last weekend - a wreath for the door using leftover crepe paper streamers from past parties.

Party Pants: Fairy Party for a Five Year Old

One of my most favorite blogs is Hostess with the Mostess! (http://www.hostessblog.com/)

It was this website/ blog that gave me inspiration last September for my daughter's fifth birthday party.

It started with an idea and Haley's love of fairies, but I knew I didn't want to do a literal 'Tinker Bell' theme.

So I began taking pictures of items while I was out shopping, ideas from other blogged parties, and online research for food and drinks. I made an 'Idea Board' pictured below that helped me to keep my focus on what I was trying to accomplish and to continue to draw inspiration from!
