Have a woodland fairy party without roughing it thanks to Missy and Kristen from Sweetly Chic Events & Design. They set the tone for the party with a DIY Floral Woodland Fairy Camp Sign on top of a Camp Glam Tablecloth. They used a Camp Glam Tent Stand Up as the backdrop for the table. Sweet treats sat atop DIY Woodland Fairy Dessert Trays. They carried the theme through to the tableware with Camp Glam Beverage Napkins, Camp Glam Tablecloth, Round Candy Pink Dinner Plates, Camp Glam Dinner Plates and Camp Glam Dessert Plates. Tables were adorned with DIY Woodland Fairy Birdcage Centerpieces. For entertainment, the party featured a DIY Woodland Fairy Craft Table complete with a DIY Fairy Terrarium in the middle. To keep with the camping theme, guests could play in a tent. Each guest received a Camp Glam Canteen, DIY Floral Woodland Tote Bag, Personalized Camp Glam Swirl Pop and Camp Glam Treat Box.

Rainbows + fairies = the ultimate kid party. Tonya from Soiree Event Design planned this bold, bright celebration that includes DIY Personalized Fairy Wings Chairbackers and DIY Pixie Dust Fairy Bottles and homemade Fairy Wand Pretzel Sticks to keep kids entertained. To create the tablescape, she hung four Rainbow Polka Dots Hanging Decorations for the backdrop and created a centerpiece from Colorful Be-a-Star Tutus and Glittery Star Wands that guests could take home after the event. To create the look for the dining table, she used a collection of Rainbow Party Supplies as well as items from a Fairy and Gnome Garden Set.

100-Layer Cakelet featured a birthday party that used on-trend ferns to create a lush, woodsy feel for a fairy birthday party that felt more chic than girly. With a "fairies and critters" theme, kids could choose to wear a flower crown and tutu or critter mask. A table held a mix of treats interspersed with gold spray-painted unicorns.

This fun twist on a girly woodland party featured by Hostess with the Mostess used whimsical cartoon mushrooms as a sub-theme that carried throughout the decor. The lunch food was cleverly themed after what woodland animals would eat -- salad greens, berries, pretzel sticks for "twigs", nuts and Sun Chips for "bark". A three-tiered cake with a custom-made mushroom topper was accompanied by DIY "fairy cakes" (see the recipe). For an activity, guests could paint a mushroom craft. Party favors included a box of treats and fairy jars filled with pink gumballs. (PS: Check out cute Fox and Mushroom Centerpieces, Mushroom Spin Tops and Lil' Fox Mushroom Lids with Straws.

Traditional fairy gardens are fun, but can prove expensive and challenging for little hands to put together without damaging the materials. These glitter painted rock fairy gardens by Made It Mommy let children create their own fairy garden without any hassle. Purchase rocks from a craft or landscaping store. Set out paint and brushes and allow kids to paint them as they see fit, then cover in glitter and allow to dry. Once dried, place painted rocks in a terrarium or fairy garden container with faux greenery and miniature fairies.

Rachel from Sprinkle Some Fun hosted this Tinkerbell woodland fairy party to celebrate the release of a new Tinkerbell movie. She cut pineapple into flower shapes and topped with kiwis and raspberries to create edible flowers, and placed cut cherry tomatoes and cheese dotted with sour cream on wooden rounds to resemble toadstools. She decorated the table with string lights with cupcake liners poked through to resemble twinkling flowers. For a craft, she created a pixie dust necklace using bottle charms filled with glitter and strung onto cord. Her daughter even got her very own Tinkerbell costume, complete with cute shoes.
