Gemstone Birthday Party Ideas

So many parties… so little time, am I right? My sweet niece turned FIFTEEN recently, and she really wanted a memorable party theme. So, magic party Auntie Abby (ME!) to the rescue with a new set and some Gemstone Birthday Party Ideas!

Now, this party setup may look all high end expensive – but really its all fairly budget friendly. Lets start with that backdrop! Our golden sequins fabric panel was a find downtown Los Angeles, but, if you don’t have access to somewhere like that, amazon can absolutely fill in. We hung this piece of fabric using a photographer’s backdrop stand, but you could affix it directly to a wall, or put together a PVC pipe stand for a fraction of the cost. The fun gemstones covering the backdrop are just plain old paper, if you can believe it. Included in the printable set are several sizes of paper silhouettes that you can print, cut and hang using fishing line.

We set our table with a plain white Tablevogue cover, but you can absolutely use anything you already have or can borrow from your mom. The banner across the front is from our printable set, and can spell out any message you wish! We also added some inexpensive honeycomb balls that we DIYed ourselves into gemstone shapes.

Our food and snacks on the table were all home made or store bought. We were lucky enough to borrow a chocolate fountain (but you need the chocolate!), and set out plain white serving pieces filled with strawberries, rice krispie treats, oreos, donut holes, marshmallows, and pringles chips. Fry box shaped paper snack boxes held chex mix, while gold “nut cups” were filled with mac and cheese. A jar filled with paper straws adorned with little flags (from the printable set) made drinking pink lemonade festive.

And finally, those cupcakes were made by the birthday girl herself. She baked and frosted, topped them with sprinklesand wrapped them with a cupcake wrapper from the printable kit. Cute, right?

Now that you are sufficiently inspired, lets talk about our Gemstones printable party kit!
