Olivia’s 2nd Pinkalicious Birthday Party was a picture-perfect day filled with family, friends, and everything pink! The little ones, including our very own “Pinky,” Olivia, sported their most adorable pink outfits (Olivia’s dress was a custom creation by Willow Bean Studio!).
These were the invites I created and sent out:
Here is a look at her custom-made Pinkalicious dress by Willow Bean Studio:
I love that they aren’t large that they don’t get in the way. More of the dress:
All Pink Birthday Party
The theme was clear: Pinkalicious! Streamers, tissue paper decorations, and a delightful birthday banner adorned the space.
DIY Cupcake Stand
The cupcake stand was a simple DIY project. Three different-sized boxes were wrapped in pink paper and tied with ribbon for an easy and charming display. Cupcake picks added a touch of whimsy.
The cupcakes were a collaborative effort between my cousin and myself. We transformed vanilla cupcakes and frosting into a delightful pink treat using food coloring. Red hots replaced the traditional cherries, and red frosting swirls added a playful touch. I even whipped up a small “cupcake” cake for my birthday girl.
Looking for unforgettable party favors? Look no further than cookies! Sugarlily Cookie Company created delicious and adorable cookies that were a huge hit with everyone, young and old!
The party favors took a playful twist to address a fictional “Pinkitis” outbreak. Green ring pops, gum, Hershey’s kisses, Peeps, and Andes mints were packed in favor bags for the girls. The boys received cool green bugs and army men. The bag toppers were designed to fit standard sandwich bags.
My nephew Conner even got a special blue hat to transform him into Olivia’s brother, Peter, for the day.
Present time was a blast outdoors on a beautiful spring day. We enjoyed cupcakes, strawberry ice cream, and even opened presents outside. The dads and uncles played basketball, while older cousins tossed a baseball around. Younger guests enjoyed the swing set, a four-wheeler ride, and simply running around in the sunshine.
Olivia was smitten with her present from mom and dad – a new playhouse! She spent a happy hour exploring her new little home. Thanks to hubby for putting it together and surprising our little princess!
Happy 2nd Birthday to our precious Olivia! We can’t believe how quickly you’re growing. You are a beautiful, strong, and independent little girl, and still our cuddly sweetheart. We are so proud of the amazing young lady you are becoming!

Incredibly cute idea! I do not have much sewing experience, but seriously…how easy!!! Thank you SO much for sharing!!!! I know what I’ll be working on next!!! Absolutely can’t wait to try this!
Whoaaaa! I see pink everywhere! This birthday party is splendid. These little girls, especially the lovable celebrant, are very fortunate to live their dream of being a princess for a day with all the crowns, wands and those cutie patootie dresses. I’m sure they’ll all remember this event til they grow up. =)
