My daughter turned 11. CRAZY! I swear she was just a little person running around with her dolls and needing me. Time seems to be going faster and faster with each year. Emma has a twin brother, Will. He had a party at a local indoor trampoline place called G6 Airpark (http://www.g6airpark.com/) so there are no awesome birthday details really to post for him.
One thing to know about my daughter – she is a party planner at heart like her mom. We love to think of fun ideas and create amazing parties for her and her friends. I won’t lie … I secretly love how excited they all get about coming to her parties and seeing what we’ve done. Sometimes I know her parties LOOK expensive, but I assure you they are always cheaper then actually doing a party at a location (& believe me I know this since I just paid for my son’s party). Emma loves Starbucks. Although, I have no idea why. We rarely go there. But all of her 5th grade friends love Frappuccinos. So I’m guessing that’s where she came up with the idea of having a Starbucks themed birthday party. When she brought me the idea, I went right to work on looking thru Pinterest and googling anything and everything that might work for her party. And here is what we came up with.

Personalized cups. Each girl got one with their own name on them as a party favor!
Homemade frappuccinos. Here’s the link to the recipe we used: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/90001692530010110/
The table set up: Green plastic table cloth (Dollar Tree), coffee beans, custom tumblers (Big Lots for the cup), Starbucks mini cups, handmade birthday cake cake pops, prize bags for games, salted caramel cupcakes, chalk board menu sign (World Market).

Hi Geisel. Thanks so much for your comment. I bought the tumblers at Big Lots, but you can also buy them at Dollar Tree. I had the custom personalized decals made by https://www.facebook.com/TANDTAPPAREL . Cassondra is the owner and she can do any type of decals (for cups/walls/cars/anything).

What games did you play?

Great question Hollie. They played a couple card games (100 Wacky Things & Apples to Apples) and then everyone spent time making the Frappuccinos. Then they watched a movie before bed.
