Birthday Wish:  Healthier Party Food

Just because you’re serving up cake doesn’t mean you can’t treat your guests to healthier choices next time you throw a party.  For inspiration – check out this menu from Lil Diva’s recent Water Celebration 6th Birthday Party!

Birthday Wish: Summer Inspired Strawberry Theme

Strawberries are Lil Diva’s favorite fruit. They are also gorgeous and the perfect fruit to feature for the fete. We placed heaping bowls everywhere. They made a stunning edible focal point and the perfect healthy summertime snack option for our guests. We kept the strawberries chilled & fresh all day by placing a cup full of ice in each vase – the glass was then hidden by the berries.

Birthday Wish: Edible Centerpieces

Because we were raising funds for Charity Water.  The California Strawberry Commission sent gorgeous strawberries.  They truly inspired the theme and became a gorgeous focal point for the event!

    Love the fresh ideas. The strawberries incorporated throughout is a nice touch, I really like the edible centerpieces and the strawberry spinach salad looks heavenly. A great mix of donors. Nice job!

    42 pounds of strawberries! I’m jealous. The things I could make OR watch my husband make w/ all those strawberries. The pictures are stunning. Worthy of a photo book. Thanks for sharing! 😉

      I know! It was a lot of strawberries. I also took the leftovers and froze them…. so we’ll have them for smoothies and such!
