Summer is here and it means it’s time to plan fun celebrations the kids will absolutely love! Celebrate summer in style with a You are my Sunshine party in partnership with Oriental Trading! Whether you are planning a birthday party or a fun play date, these ideas are adorable, stress-free and easy to recreate.
You can start your fun party decor by hanging pink paper fans and the ‘You are my sunshine’ banner on the wall. For an adorable touch to the kids chairs, attach the yellow themed fans to the back of each chair. Add a pink satin bow for a cute touch! Tip: Make sure you secure the paper fans well using a strong tape.
Jazz up the kids plates with these fun DIY sunshine chargers. See tutorial here. I promise the kids will love their place settings!
Using the ‘You are my sunshine’ paper straws, make adorable cupcake toppers to embellish simple store bought cupcakes.
Popcorn is always a big hit among the kids. These adorable themed popcorn boxes will sure add a fun touch to your table.
There’s no summer party without refreshing pink lemonade! Simply place a plastic pitcher on the table for easy serving.
Send the little guests home with these adorable heart shaped shutter glasses. Note: The bag comes with these sunglasses in 4 different colors including yellow that would also go perfectly with this theme.
They double as wonderful party ops and take-home party favors!
I hope these easy yet adorable ideas help you celebrate with the kids and make special memories this summer!

Hello Andressa…beautiful set up! Was wondering where I can find the cupcake wrappers? Didn’t see it listed below. ~Thank you
I got them at my local supermarket. You might be able to find them at Walmart or Target! 🙂
Can I use this theme for 1st bday for boy? What other things you think can be incorporated here
This theme would work for a 1st birthday! Perhaps add a cake as well! You can use large squares plates!
