As your Spring Party winds down, let guests write birthday messages on the sidewalk with chalk. And don’t forget a take home favor. These sweet little lollipops are wrapped in small squares of fabric in different patterns and tied with bakers twine. Perfect for handing out to guests as they leave.
A great tip for your next party: keep parties small in number. Match the age of the birthday child with the number of guests–for a 6th birthday invite 6 friends. This allows your party to be rich in detail without breaking the bank.
This party was created by a fabulous duo that I’m sure you’ll recognize. Photography by Melanie Mauer. Party planning and styling by Elizabeth McIntosh.

so cute! where did you find her darling party dress? It is the sweetest! And what about those big flowers in the background of the one picture? I love all the details!
Interesting idea about including the number of guests as the age of the child.
hi lindsay, we picked up audrey’s dress at off 5th (the sax fifth avenue outlet) after the dress we’d hoped for was out of stock – kelly from faith & fancy made the gingham sash to tie it in to the party
the big flowers were made using this tutorial from ruche on design sponge: http://www.designsponge.com/2012/02/diy-project-giant-paper-flowers-from-ruche.html
