Girls' birthday party ideas - Little Red Riding Hood or Alice in Wonderland
Girls' birthday party ideas can still be girlie, even if you want to avoid the same old princess theme. Which is why I instantly fell in love with the downloadable, customizable party kits at Creative Little Stars, based around classic storybook themes. And they're super affordable too. Any party planner worth her salt will tell you that setting the mood is 50% of the party. (Planning for fun is the other half of course!) And any mom planning a kid's birthday will tell you that paying a fortune for them is not ideal. Through Creative Little Stars, for less than $20 (!!) you get an entire party's worth of customizable printables around themes like Little Red Riding Hood and Alice in Wonderland, which are my favorites.  Each one includes 13 personalized PDF patterns for invitations, thank you notes, banners, and everything in between, so that your party is both whimsical and unique. How many Little Red Riding Hood parties have you been to? Exactly. All you need now is pin the tail on the wolf. The book nerd in me simply loves the cupcake toppers and "drink me" drink labels in the Alice in Wonderland set which includes 18 printables. Hand out copies of the book as party favors and you've got an event that even the parents will appreciate too. -Roxanna Download the Little Red Riding Hood and  Alice in Wonderland printable party supplies, or shop other cool party themes online at Creative Little Stars
