Do you have a little wild one at home? In our house my wild one is hooked on the absolute adorableness of the fox. So much so, I just had to create this fox birthday party for her and her wild woodland friends.
If you have a clever little fox at home, they'll love this pretty pastel fox party! "What does the fox say?"....YAY!!

The Table
I started with a white table-top as a base. Down the center of the table I used a Moss Table Runner as the forest floor.
On top of the moss I placed a mini forest. I used a Green Sisal Tree Assortment that I had spray painted in pretty pastel colors. A mix of pink, mint and pale blue.
I started centrally with the larger trees and worked outwards to the smaller sizes.
In the center of the trees I placed a Wood Large Round Centerpiece to hold a miniature fox tepee.
I created this by placing straws over the sturdy arrows from the Toy Bow & Arrow Set and tying three of them together at the top with pink bakers twine. Then I cut out a tepee cover from the Pastel Paper Pack.
Finally, I inserted pastel feathers into the tops of two of the straws and a pink sprayed Arrow Pencil Topper on the third.
I used a Woodland Creature Charm as decoration in the entryway of the tepee.
Once the tepee was finished I put a cute little fox family inside. I used some of my daughters fox figurines and spray
painted them pale blue and pink. Lastly I added a scattering of Artificial Acorns that I also painted in pretty pastel hues.
At each end of the moss runner I placed a Medium Birch Round Centerpiece with a mint lantern on top. This gives the table additional dimension and height. I used a mix of peonies, fern and dusty miller stems to decorate the top of these.
The girls favorite part of this mini-vignette was the Bright Stuffed Fox sitting next to each lantern. This may or may not be because there are enough in a pack for each girl to take one home! LOL!
The Place Settings
I started with a White Elegance Premium Plastic Dinner Plate as a charger. I love the natural petal like curves of this
plate, they have a forest flower look and feel. I then layered a mint dinner plate with a pink dessert plate and a Fresh Mint Dinner Napkin.
I then had a little fun with the foxy place setting. Placing a tasty pastel pink fox cookie from Couture Cookie Company on top of each napkin. The girls loved this touch and gobbled up the cookies lickedity split!
I then tied a fork and spoon together for each place setting with pink bakers twine and a sweet Woodland Creature Charm.
Next, I used a Rustic Wooden Place Card Holder to hold a place card for each woodland guest. These foxy place cards are available for download. They can be placed in the holder or use the optional tab guideline and fold back to stand the fox card up without a holder.

Finally, I placed the drinks at each setting. Water and Fox's Tasty Grasshopper Juice! Find out how to make this fun and fruity bug filled (just kidding!) drink HERE. I used a mushroom cup on top of a Wood Slice Coaster for the water. I spray painted the mushroom cups pastel pink, using painters tape to protect the white parts of the cup during spraying.
For the grasshopper juice I used Clear Round Plastic Tumblers with a cheeky surprise. A tasty bug garnish (tee hee hee!) and an arrow topped straw drink stirrer.
The Seats
Every little fox wants to dance and shake her tail at a birthday party, right?! I spray painted clip on fox tails pink (using painters tape to protect the white tips of the fox tails) and added a pretty pink dahlia to the top of each tail.
The Dessert Table
For the dessert table I wanted the look and feel of a rustic forest. To get the look I used a removable and reusable birch tree wallpaper as my backdrop.
In front of the birch tree backdrop at the center of a simple white table I placed a gorgeous fox cake from Confection Deception. With piped pink fur and a floral headpiece "she" is a simply adorable focal point, fluttering her lashes ever so sweetly at the girls.
I placed her on a rustic look Wood Pattern Cake Stand which sat on top of a Mint Suitcase Centerpiece for additional height.
To the left of the cake I placed Foxes "Pot of Bugs" Favor Pails on top of a pale pink cake stand. Find out how to make foxes favorite treats HERE.
On the other side of the table I used a mix of birch centerpieces and pillars to display another of foxes favorite tasty treats, candy frogs. I added pastel acorns and a pastel fox to complete the vignette.
Birthday Signage
For a unique and pretty, rustic look I created birthday signage that can be reused as bedroom decor after the party has finished. Get the easy DIY steps and a template to create a Clever Little Fox sign HERE.
The same DIY technique can be used to create smaller age specific birthday signs. I made two, one for each side of the main signage. I removed the backing from two photo frames I had at home and painted the back of the acrylic inserts pale pastel blue. I then added "Little Fox is 6" to the front using a chalk pen and glued on a pastel painted fox figurine.
It was then time for the little foxes to enjoy the birthday party. Clever little fox & her wild woodland friends loved her pretty pastel fox themed celebration.
