Pooh Party Invitation & Design Inspiration

A few years prior I hosted a Pooh Bear Party for my oldest daughter, and stuck with a classic vintage Pooh look. But for this party, I wanted to do something a little different. I wanted everything to have some feminine flair! I found this lovely invitation featuring Pooh and Piglet surrounded by beautiful bouquets! As usual, the invitation became my design guide.
Hundred Acre Wood Party Signage
I love to create DIY Party Signage. It puts such a thoughtful and personal touch on any celebration. When it comes to the “Hundred Acre Wood” signs that I made for both of my girls parties, they are STILL hanging on the trees on our property from YEARS ago, which I think is just so sweet and brings back these beautiful memories. Maybe it’s a touch of laziness that we never took them down, but like I said, I really don’t mind seeing them and remembering all the fun our party days have brought us!
Darling Pooh Party Decor
For a quick and simple birthday banner I bought a little burlap one to customize from Michael’s craft store, and painted “Ellie’s 3” with pale yellow acrylic paint. I hung this map of the Hundred Acre Woods on our rustic wooden pallet. I also tend to reuse the same faux flowers from my oldest daughter’s first birthday party(!) a lot and incorporate them into so many of the parties that I host. When you find something that really visually resonates with you, you tend to stick with it! Pale pink and white dish-ware, matching floral napkins scored at Homegoods, and little Hunny pots made this dessert table irresistibly sweet!
DIY “Hunny” Pots
Something I made and had saved from my other party were these cute honey pots pictured above on the dessert table and also used on the craft table for holding paintbrushes. I bought cheap ceramic flower pots and painted yellow along the rim to look like honey overflowing out of them. I labeled them with a black permanent marker: “HUNNY”. Couldn’t be easier!
Waiting for guests to arrive…
Pink Gingham, Florals & Flower Crowns
I pulled out this light pink gingham tablecloth that I had, utilized lots of faux flowers on tables (which I use over and over again in lots of my parties) and in the meantime they make their home in my girls bedroom. I had a bunch of flower crowns left over from my oldest daughter’s fifth Woodland Tea Party Birthday, so I arranged a few of those on the tables for any guests who wanted to wear them! Next, I set out some classic Winnie the Pooh storybooks on the table.
The Sweetest DIY Beehive Cake & Other Desserts
“I’m so rumbly in my tummy.” -Winnie the Pooh
When thinking about a delicious dessert for this party, I wanted to do this Beehive Cake which I had already done before and it was a big hit at our last Winnie-the-Pooh party! I really love how unique and fitting it is for the theme. So how do you make a beehive cake, you ask? First, I purchased this cake pan. Next, I looked up this Honey-Glazed Lemon Beehive Cake recipe. To finish off things off, I ordered these cute little sugar bees.
My girls and I always LOVE to bake together leading up to any birthday or event, and we usually choose cookie cutters along with our theme and stick with this tried and true sugar cookie cutout recipe.
So for this party, we pulled out our Pooh-themed cookie cutters and got to work! The cookies may not look “professional” but they were certainly made with lots of love!
Classic Pooh Bear Artwork
These little framed pictures above were something I made for our last Pooh party. I visited our quaint little bookstore in town and purchased an old “Golden Book” of Winnie the Pooh. It was old and used and maybe I shouldn’t have cut it up, but I did… and framed a few of my favorite little pictures in cheap white IKEA frames that I had on hand. I now have them hanging in our playroom attic bathroom which has a Pooh theme.
DIY Pooh & Tigger Photo Op
My sweet mother made this adorable photo op for our last Pooh party so we had it stored away. Kids loved posing behind it!
Classic Game of Pin the Tail on Eeyore!
This was a cute painting of Eeyore my mom created for “Pin the Tail on Eeyore” at my oldest daughter’s third birthday party which was also a Winnie the Pooh-themed party! We held onto it, and I’m so glad that we did because it got its second use! If you don’t want to make one from scratch, this Eeyore is perfect!
Craft Table
For this party’s craft, I purchased a bunch of terra cotta flower pots and provided little acrylic paints for kids to customize them. Spring was right around the corner from this birthday, so I thought it might be fun for the kids to have something they could go home and plant things in. I’d say 3 is the perfect age for an open-ended painting craft like this!
After each pot was painted, we let them dry during the remainder of the party and then packaged them up to take home!
Pooh Party Goodie Bags
I put a few little things together for each kids to take home. While I honestly can’t remember all of what was in there, I do remember that each one included a honey bear lollipop, and a tiny bag of wildflower seeds to plant in their pots. I love to personalize goodie bags if I have the time, and these little letter rubber stampers always do a good job! I also purchased a Winnie the Pooh stamp.
