Are you ready to Paw-ty?My sweet, sweet Olivia who just turned 6 years old shares something in common with me, her love for cats. Both of my girls are future crazy cat ladies, I’m calling it now. So, imagine my glee when she told me she wanted a cat party for her birthday. Preparations started many months in advance. Yarn balls were being made in February when her party wasn’t until August. The first thing I had to do before I could start anything though was to select the color palette. Did you know that coral is the Pantone color of the year for 2019? It’s one of my favorite colors to work with so I paired it with my other favorite pastels such as lavender, light pink & mint green. Then I said, what the heck let’s throw some gold and leopard print in there as well and see how it all comes together. Beautifully, it all came together beautifully. Let’s check it out!
Welcoming the other little kitties right from the start with this adorable yarn wreath. It took roughly 2 hours to wrap this Styrofoam wreath form in enough yarn to cover it but in the end so cute and worth every minute! This is why I start prep months in advance. 
The kitty korner where everyone could put their little paws up and take a break on this adorable leopard love seat. Did you catch my Instagram story of how I made this custom no sew seat cover from a roll of leopard gossamer fabric? If you don’t follow me then you’re missing out on all the fun that goes on behind the scenes.
Part of the kitty korner was the greatest little thing I’ve ever made. A “Glitter Box” A pink litter box full of paper shred, pom poms, bells and you guessed it, glitter. 2 large bottles of glitter to be exact. Keep scrolling to see the fun activity I put together for the kids later on in the party.
I also put together a fun “Pin The Whiskers” on Olivia game. I’ll show you how that went down a little later as well. 
The purr-fect dessert table featuring the cutest mini cat cake trio. 
Love these script balloons. They come in individual letters so you can spell out any combination of words. For the runner I used 2 featherless white boas. 
The cutest cat macarons, almost too cute to eat. Birthday cake flavor, soooo good! All sweets were from Baked By Bri. 
All 3 cakes came out so cute! Which design is your favorite? We had a pink lemonade flavor, chocolate & confetti. 
Let’s eat! 
Cute, cute little milk bar featuring 3 carafes of your favorite feline drink. 
I love any party that I can incorporate 2 of my favorite chandeliers from Hey Girl Decor. 
I ordered a poster sized print of a digital backdrop I created and wrapped it around a poster board to make a quick and easy backdrop. 
I found these perfect little cat cups from a store called Daiso. They contained the yogurt for the parfaits and the kids just loved how tiny they were. 
Meow Meow Paw-ty Favors Station. 
Cat Wands. 
Did you see my previous post on the most purr-fect cat invitations? 
Cat pom poms for the girls backpacks. Just in time for back to school!
Kitty coin purses from Joy Folie were a must! 
I found these squishy kitties at Michaels around Valentines Day. Another great reason to start planning early is so you can start shopping early. 
Of course the girls had to be able to adopt a kitty. I purchased the stuffed kittens from Amazon. 
I picked up this cat mirror from Urban Outfitters. It seems to be sold out now but you can find a similar one from Pottery Barn Teen.
What’s a cat party without cat ear favors? 
The kids table. So cute. Featuring another chandy from Hey Girl Decor and a floating balloon installation. Thanks to my girl Dominque from CD Ballons & Crafts for helping me blow up 9 million balloons. 🙂 
The kids chairs and plates were both from the Target Pillowfort line. That whole line was seriously made for all my party planning needs! 
Name placecards and this cute fish bone detail were made by using my Cricut. 
What’s a cat without a cat nap? So I cleared out half my office and put together this cute Cats, Naps & Snacks area. 
My Cricut machine helped me cute all the vinyl for these signs, food labels, gift bag decor and loads of other stuff. If you don’t have one yet, my only question is why not?
These cat faces came from Shindigz. I uploaded the jpeg design that I had of each face and they print, cut and send my way. SO easy!
Whew! Now that we’ve gotten thru months worth of crafting details, it’s onto Paw-ty time! We started off by getting our cat faces and ears on. 
Then it was time to feast. 
After feasting, we joined in the kitty korner for some pin the whiskers. I ordered a life size cardboard standee of Olivia from Shindigz, made whiskers out of pipe cleaners and then let the girls go to town blindfolded trying to stick them on. They loved it! 
Adopt a kitty time. 
Back to this amazing “Glitter Box” After the girls adopted their kitty they had to dig thru the glitter box to find a bell. Then they could finish making a collar for the kitty using a pipe cleaner and other cute accessories like stickers and rhinestones. 
After decorating, Olivia got to open her gifts while I cleaned up for cake. 
The paw-ty was wrapping up so I brought out special guest Piper Blu to make an appearance then handed out all the favors. 
Everyone went home as one Smitten Kitten. Wasn’t that the cutest? But the real question is have you had enough of my cat puns yet?
