Amanda was inspired by this backyard fete, and created her own take on it for her daughter's 5th birthday. Guests walked the red carpet to the backyard movie screening, which included freshly-popped popcorn and cupcakes. What more could a girl ask for?

I love seeing how celebrations for our loved ones share a certain similarity, no matter where we're from! This 'fairy party' from Brazil was crafted by Luiza for her daughter's 3rd birthday. Lots more here.

reader question of the week

Reader question of the week:

"I'm co-hosting a baby shower for my friend who is having a baby boy. We want to do a nautical theme but I'm having a hard time thinking of ideas for cute favors, invitations, the menu, drinks and decor. I would love suggestions or ideas of how to make it a fabulous and classy nautical-themed shower without being cheesy. Thanks for any ideas! -Colleen"
