Earlier this month, Rachie at A Chi Chi Affair posted a really cute Baby Shower for a Teacher. This ridiculously cute picture with cookies and milk set my wheels in motion!
Because even though my daughter’s birthday isn’t until March, of course I’m already thinking about it. (Hello, one of the best things about having kids is planning fun parties!!) And because I like to make things difficult unique, I decided to step outside the typical birthday-party-box and decided on a Pancakes & Pajamas theme!! The girls are too young for a sleepover, but they can still come over for a morning breakfast party, wearing their pajamas.
So I inquired on Rachie’s post if she knew of any resources for this theme (she always posts the cutest parties!) I was thrilled when she emailed me with her ideas! She even went so far as to put amazing Party Mood Boards together in a post.
(Really?!? A table set to look like a bed?!?! I die.)
Go check out her post for lots more pictures and all the fantastic details. But I have to say, I am bursting at the seams to get this party started!!
And can you stand how cute those straws are?! I’ve seen them all over Blogland, including this Valentine Party Lili at Swanky Chic Fete posted:
Of course I inquired on her post about where to find those ridiculously cute stripey straws (you can call me Barbara Walters)! I was so happy when she emailed me about Garnish, a delightful food packaging site. Even more thrilled when I discovered all their cute offerings. These things aren’t necessary for a successful party, but they add the special details that will make it memorable:
Check out their Party Ideas…I think I’ll be hosting a few of them! And as if that site isn’t cute enough….one of Lili’s lovely readers emailed me one too!!! Susan, from French Macaron (a brand-new blog, go show her some love!), saw my question about the straws and sent me a link to Bake It Pretty, another off-the-charts-cute Baking Supplies company.
This is what I love so much about the blogging community….seriously the nicest, most talented people, that go out of their way to help others. Thanks so much Rachie, Lili and Susan for your great resources and fun ideas! I can not wait to get started on Babygirl’s Pancakes & Pajamas birthday party! I’d love to hear your input too.

Cookies and Milk parties are the best!!! I have seen some AMAZING ones online and they make me want to have one just for me and my friends 🙂 I am seriously considering it. They are amazing and DELICIOUS, I'm sure.
Good choice for a birthday party!!!
I'm excited for your little girl's party!!!! Love Rachie and Susan!!!
Thanks for the mention Cassie!!! TGIF!!!
A pancakes and pajama party sounds adorable! I bet it will be so much fun! 🙂
Rachie does post the best parties – she hosts some stunning ones, too! Can't wait to see what she does for her sister's hen party; I have a feeling it will be fabulous!
P.S. I loved the ideas she had for a kid's PJ party!
Oh Cassie I'm loving all of these ideas. I used those cute straws too in milk for Lilly's first bday party in Novemember. Love them!!
Can't wait to see what you come up with.
What a great party idea!! My girls always had a theme party, so fun!! Two of their favorites were A Baby Shower, and the Wizard of Oz.
I have been greatly enjoying Rachi's party posts! I cannot wait to throw my little man a birthday party.

I love what Rachie pulled together for you, what a cool party! Can I come??
Drooling over all of those images. What a cute idea to do pancakes and pjs. I bookmarked a darling cereal bar as well I should forward to you {if I can find it}I am planning a tea party for riley {we do once a year} and I can't wait!
Cassie:You're a doll and your blog is just as sweet, right down to the last detail. Your pancakes and pajamas party is brilliant. Mom can be comfortable and what little one doesn't like a sleep over only there won't be any sleepless nights. Let us know how it turns out. Swanky Chic rocks and I will definitely check out Rachie and see what I'm missing
I love these party ideas! It makes me want to have a Pancakes and Pajama party with all my girlfriends! I have the stripey straws in red, pink, and gray! They're so fun and cheery!
Have a great weekend!
my birthday's in march too! can i come?
Love that theme- sounds like so much! Those straws are so stinkin' cute!
cute theme! We did a mock-sleepover at night 6:30-9:30 for my 6 year old vs. in the morning, but I have a friend who did a pancakes and pjs party and said it was so fun and cute (her little girl was turning 5). I am booking marking this post for the reference links!
Love the party ideas. What a lucky little girl!
Just swinging on by to say thanks for the Garnish shout out. Absolutely love the idea of pancakes and pj's party!! Can't wait to see how it all turns out.
Garnish + Enjoy,

Oh my! Everything is so darling. The colors are great! And those straws are adorable
That's brilliant, all of it! But you forgot the h at the end of my name.. I'll let it go this once..x
Your daughters party is gonna be bananas!! I'm getting so many great idea's for James' party too!
Dude, can I come to your daughter's party? It sounds like you have some awesome ideas in mind. My sweet husband gave me orange and white stripey straws for Christmas (with no prompting on my part). He got them from here: http://www.jackandlulu.com/products/ss001.html
Hi Cassie
Thank you for stopping by Slim Paley, and I love your blog too!
One of my favourite things to do when my boys were younger was to organize and throw really great parties! I just LOVE this idea of a pancake & Pajamas party- it's so sweet! Making the table up like a bed is such an adorable idea.
Have fun with your sweet boy & rowdy princess 🙂
Very best wishes,
Slim
So glad you stopped by because it led me back to your blog and I love it!
Cassie, love the pancakes & pajamas theme! I made a really cute cake for a "half-sleepover" bday party for my daughter once – the kids came in their pjs – the cake looked like a big bed with a bunch of little kids under the covers (twinkies, frosted, with little faces made out of Nilla wafers.) The kids loved it and it was easy peasy….I'll have to find a picture and email it to you! Have fun planning!
Hey, I like your ideas!… I love the stripey straws in red, pink, and blue! They're so fun and cheery! My daughter will love it too on her Birthday!
