Camping party ideas/inspiration

We are all preparing for a bit of snow here! Hoping for not too much- can't shovel with the accident injuries! I am definitely saying TGIF though - been a long week at my (day) job! Since it's so cold, you'd have to do an indoor camping party... here is some inspiration

Cute camp tabletop setup - look closely, I am sure you own a lot of things you can use in your setup around the house already! Source

How awesome are these s'more kits?! ingredients in plastic bag, pop of color with a tag and all tied to a stick - adorable and inexpensive! Source

I've seen a lot of push pop ideas this year... but this might be my fav! Don't you love the marshmallows in the box as the display?! Source and tutorial (buy push pops here)

Another great treat would be s'more candy apples! Also love burlap and wood accents in this pic! Source

Camping party ideas/inspiration

House (and we!) are still recovering from the wedding and still trying to get through my google reader (following all of you guys!)

...here is some inspiration for a camping theme party - don't forget this older, but still fresh! Frosting for a camping there here.

Use rustic elements and steal from nature to create the food tables - string pine cones for the perfect garland! Source

Glue compasses to your favor tags for a special touch! Source

What a great group photo would this be with every kid having a traveling stick favor!? Source

You could also make little camping themed brown bag favors... Source

(not for the kids!!!) For those that like to give the grown-ups gifts at the kids party (hello, they deserve it after sitting through that much kid time!) Matches in a small jar, a little twine and a sweet note.... Source and tutorial

Camping party theme ideas/inspiration

There have been a lot of camping posts around lately! Every summer my fiance' and his son camp out back - I love it! Maybe we'll do a camping theme night with some of these ideas... p.s. here is some older (but still fresh!) Frosting for a camping theme (here)

Super adorable setup! I love the hanging lanterns, the "tent", and all the other fun details - like smores on sticks and woodland desserts! Source

You have to click on this one to really appreciate all the details! The backpack, paper bags, campfire pops.. filled with great inspiration! Source

Use tin cans, wood slices and pine cones to set the mood! I love the wood looking placecards too!

Super cute (and inexpensive!) way to do a favor would be to wrap up some treats in a bandanna and tie is up like a runaway stick! heehee... you could also stash a little s'mores kit in each! Source

Camping Party Theme!

I JUST got back from a long trip (in more ways than one!)... can't wait to tell you a little about it (maybe tomorrow after I seek therapy rofl)... for now here is a hint of one of the things we did on our trip!

...why not have a camping theme party! Even if it's just an indoor sleepover for the kids! Or set up a tent in your backyard and have a romantic getaway right at home with you and your love or even let the kids come ;o)




Why not set up a s'mores buffet!  Add a few s'mores cupcakes, some s'mores inspired dipped marshmallows and you have something for everyone!  Source

I thought this would be the perfect invite! You could even use these around as decorations - hang one with each kid's name on a ribbon and create a banner! or use them as buffet or thank you cards! Source






Sorry for the bad pic... but these are little mini backpacks for water bottles!!! How cute?!? These would make great favors! Source






I thought this little doll would be so much fun for the kids to make or to use with invitations or as favors! Source and tutorial

Using pound cake and donuts holes, create this campfire cake! Source and tutorial
