I had the honor of styling this Beauty and the Beast party for Birthday in a Box and Brielle, my oldest, was definitely enchanted by this theme!

Work your party styling magic and style up a great dessert table full of hints from this beloved Disney classic. Here are some party hacks I used to make this fun party theme come to life but many of these party hacks can be used in other themes:

Beauty and the Beast Party Hacks - how to fake this bell jar from a vase! | spotofteadesigns.com
  • DIY a floating rose with household items! I did not have a bell cloche in my possession so I DIYed my own! A glass vase, gold plastic bowl, fake rose and wooden knob were easily transformed into the special floating rose staged in the West Wing.

  • Create a faux stained glass look. Whether you fill your table with a small spot of tea from Mrs. Potts or go all out like Luminere’s staff, you’ll love specializing your display with this faux stained glass free printable! Feel free to download this freebie to invite your guests.

  • Use foam core to create a faux wall for your backdrop. I like to shoot in my kitchen as it’s the most spacious and provides the best nature light. It does, however, have a window behind the table so I often have to get creative to block this space. This Beauty and the Beast party features a book page backdrop made by gluing old book sheets onto four pieces of foam core that were attached back to back.

  • Personalized items can be converted into other things. Birthday in a Box offers these luggage tags that you can personalize for different party themes. I’ve used this trick several times, but I love to personalize the tag, trim the luggage tag hole and turn it into a food sign.
Beauty and the Beast Party Hacks - semi homemade cupcakes | spotofteadesigns.com
  • Create semi homemade desserts. Like most birthday celebrations, chances are there are lots of dessert options to put out for guests.  Make one larger batch of your dessert but make it seem fancier in it’s own glass, bowl or cup. Cut up a batch of brownies and add them to baking cups. Bake cupcakes from a box but whip out your piping bag and fancy tip to add a pretty frosting swirl and edible rose sprinkle on top!

  • Dress up plastic cups with glitter. Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious and it’s even more appealing when you glitter the stem to plastic cups! This is one of my favorite ways to dress up a plain cup to help match the party color scheme.

I’m pretty sure I’m making my girls jaded to the fun of parties since we host them in our house twice a month. They are pretty trained to know not to touch any of my party details since they know they are rewarded with the party props after the shoots are over!

    How do you glitter the cups? Glitter and glue? Spray paint??

      Decoupage glue and glitter. The key is a layer on top to seal the glitter in. This is the exact steps from a previous party I styled: https://www.wholesalepartysupplies.com/blog/diy-glitter-bottle-glasses/

      Nothing related to the theme, just “Happy birthday Isabella”.

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

If you're on a fence about creating a garden next If you're on a fence about creating a garden next year.... do it! While I personally don't eat everything we grow (not a pepper fan!), I do enjoy being outside, caring for the plants, and feeding friends and family!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
