I always love seeing emails from my friend, Liz Banfield, because they usually contain some gorgeous images! Sometimes I don’t allow myself to open them right away because I know I will spend an hour (that I don’t have) looking at every little detail. Well, this recent email was no exception! Liz recently put together a 6th birthday party for her son Grier at her studio…if I didn’t know she was a photographer I would’ve mistaken her for an event planner!! All the little details are so fabulous I had to share with all of you. Of course, Liz was behind the camera catching all the fun. Here are some of the adorable photos with all the vendor information in case you want to use some of her ideas for your pint size party!

Inspired by a wrapping paper Liz found at Paper Source, she designed an animal themed birthday party

The birthday boy!

To dress up the drinks, Liz covered juice boxes with some of the same wrapping paper!

Fun animal crackers were yummy snacks!

The kids all decorated their own crowns using some templates Liz found at Paper Source The stickers, pom-poms and glitter glue came from Jo-Ann Fabrics.

Guests played “Pin the tail on the Lion” for prizes!

A custom cake from Wuolette Bakery. Liz sketched out the design and provided a bit of the wrapping paper so they could match the unique shape of the animals exactly using colored fondant.

Make a wish!
