Claire's Pinkalicious 3rd Birthday Party

For Claire's third birthday, we decided to do a Pinkalicious birthday based on the book Pinkalicious by Victoria Kann. For those of you who don't know the book, it's a darling story about a girl who eats too many pink cupcakes that her skin turns pink. To remedy the situation, she must give up all of her favorite pink foods and eat only green foods. She returns to normal and even though she liked being pink, being herself was even better.


The story has a lot of great party ideas, and while I didn't get a ton of great shots of the party, there were a ton of pinkirific details inspired by the book.
As Claire's guests arrived, they were given Pinkalicious wands, pink beads, pink boas and sparkly crowns, just like Pinkalicious has in the book. The girls had a ton of fun jumping around and playing with their dress up items.

We then gathered all the kids to read the story of Pinkalicious.
After the story, all the kids made pinkalicious flowers inspired by one of the scenes in the book where Pinkalicious blends in with the pink flowers because her skin has turned pink. The flowers were turned out pinkiriffic!
After the craft, we had lunch that was full of pink and green food, including pink pizza! Well.... at least the sauce was pink (well, red actually).
Then, the kids played pin the cherry on the pink cupcake, that was just like Pinkalicious' cupcake!

Then, it was time for cake and cupcakes! Claire's mommy made a Pinkalicious cake and Pinkalicious cupcakes just like in the book. So cute!
Finally, it was time for the pinkarific pink horse pinata. If the kids weren't sugared up enough, they sure got their fill after the pinata!

All the kids had fun at the party. In addition to their pink dress up items, they each went home with more pink candy (yum), green squirt guns for the boys, and pink felt monogramed cupcake hair clips for the girls (soooo cute)!The birthday girl had such a good time, she quickly fell asleep in the car on the way home, party favor in hand.
