{Mirabelle Creations Party} -- Rainbow Sprinkles 10th Birthday Party

For my daughter Mira’s 10^th birthday, she wanted to have a small slumber party with her five closest friends.  When we started discussing themes, she didn’t want and over the top, all-out theme.  Mira has always loved rainbow sprinkles.  In fact, it’s the only ice cream topping she likes.  Also, she loves having breakfast for dinner, so we decided to host a Sprinkles “Brinner” (brunch for dinner). 

{Décor}  The party décor started with the rainbow sprinkles inspired printable paper goods.  The invitation and address label wrap for the envelopes incorporated rainbow colored polka dots.  The other paper goods carried out the theme.   The Collection is available for purchase, HERE. 
 

The Brinner table was set up in our sunroom.  For a runner down the center of the table, I punched 3 inch and 2 inch paper circles and scattered them down the center of the table.  A chandelier was also made out of paper circles, hung from an embroidery hoop. 

 

Each placesetting included a place card with the girls' names.  I made confetti plates by punching cardstock circles, then topping them with a clear plastic plate. 

 

Mira spotted some color dipped spider mums at the grocery store.  She loved them and thought they’d be perfect for the table.  Sprinkles were also used to decorate throughout the party.  Votives on the table were filled with sprinkles.  The girls’ milk bottles were rimmed with sprinkles. 

 

The Food Table was also decorated with sprinkles.  I first covered a chipboard "M", purchased from Hobby Lobby, with sprinkles.  The cake pedestal was also decorated with a band of sprinkles.  For the backdrop, we scattered cardstock circles on the wall.  

 

{Food} Since Mira wanted brunch for dinner, we started with traditional brunch food.  My husband made individual sized Egg, Cheese, and Sausage Casseroles (which he insisted I give him credit for -- yes, he's sitting next to me while I'm writing this:).  I individually wrapped Country Ham Biscuits for each of the girls.  Desserts on the table included Oreo Truffle Pops, Rice Krispie Treats, and White Chocolate Dipped Vanilla Wafers, that were all sprinkled, of course.  After eating, the girls also snacked on sixlets and gumballs from Nuts.com.

 

 

One of my favorite treats for the dessert table was the Sprinkles Pancake Cake.  Instead of a regular cake, this "cake" made from cake batter pancakes was a big hit with the girls.  It was topped with a Rainbow Sprinkles Peg Doll, who was dressed in sprinkles couture. 

 

 

 

 

We also set up a Yogurt Bar so the girls could make their own parfaits.   For the Yogurt Bar sign, I covered the edges with sprinkles to frame the print.  The girls enjoyed making parfaits topped with fruit, granola, coconut, and sprinkles. 

 

{Activities} While the girls were eating Brinner, I encouraged them to each write a positive statement about everyone else sitting at the table on pieces of the circle cardstock that decorated the middle of the table.  OH MY GOODNESS!  I never imagined what a wonderful moment it would be for all of them.  Not only did they write beautiful statements about each other, but they also read aloud all of the affirmations.  That led to them engaging in a lengthy discussion about all the things they loved about each other. 

 

 

After eating, the girls painted their own canvases.  It was fun to watch how creative they each were and how they praised each other for their paintings. 

 

{Favors} -- In the morning, Mira gave all the guests sprinkles rings that I made.  They were placed in small zippered pouches with each of the girls' names.  The card said, "Sprinkled with love for you!"

The favors were a great way to end the party.  And, they are a fun keepsake that will remind the girls of the party each time they wear them.
