As I prepare for my daughter McKenzie's 7th birthday, I realized that I never shared her 6th birthday party from last year. I guess that's what happens when you are a mom of two plus everything you decided to commit to this year, knowing full well you don't have the time or metal space to add anything else. I don't know how but I am able to sit here and write this post without distraction! Can I get a Hallelujah?!
This party was such a wonderful whimsical celebration! McKenzie is an avid dinosaur lover and to my surprise she slowly transitioned over to unicorns. So when it came time to plan her 6th year birthday party, Unicorn Themed it was!
I searched high and low for a venue to host her party in hopes to have a pony ride for her and her little guests but came up short. Within just a few weeks of the set date, I found this adorable PonyLand Farm about 30 minutes outside of town. Not only did that have a special place on their land to host a fun party, they also offered "Unicorn" pony rides! As a mom/party planner, to say I was thrilled is putting it lightly! I literally fell to my knees with overwhelming gratitude!
As far as decor, I used the faux grass backdrop that we've had for years. We bought it for McKenzie's
Peppa Pig party back when she turned 3. This backdrop was well worth the time and $$, we've used it for so many events. (more info in photo captions...)

These adorable cookies were made custom from Sweet Addictions Bakery her in town. |
|
The cake, I purchased at publix. They always do a great job! The Unicorn eye lashes and flower
horns, I printed off at Office Max from a google image. The leaves I purchased from hobby lobby
a while ago. |
|
The table I used a plastic gold table cloth from walmart and laid a magnolia garland down the center.
The floral plates were purchased from Amazon here & here They matched perfeclty with the unicorn backdrop!
The flower lid mason jars, I purchased from Etsy years back. They are plastic and are perfect for little girl parties |
|
I made the girls peanut butter and jelly finger sandwiches in the shape of starts using a star cookie
cutter. |
|
I also served buggle chips or we called them "unicorn horns" |
|
The girls enjoyed making their own unicorn horn treats using icing and ice cream cones. |
|
The girls received cute little unicorn headbands to wear during the party. I purchased them here
on amazon. |
|
The horse property was kind enough to let the girls use watercolor soap paint on their ponies. The pony loved
getting loved on all morning. |
|
Pony rides were a must and the girls loved riding their unicorn around. |
|
These goodie bags were purchased at Dollar Tree. I simply hot glued the unicorn flower horns and drew on eyelashes. |
|
My son had a little too much fun at the dessert table. |
All in all it was a wonderful morning spent playing, riding, painting and eating. These little 6 year olds had the best time celebrating our little McKenzie and for that we are so grateful!
