Playful Puppy Party Inspiration

Many, many thanks to Amy Atlas Events for featuring this party on her blog! Please visit her site as you’ll be inspired by everything she shares!

Earlier this year I added a Puppy Party design to my etsy shop. In an effort to inspire ideas of how to use this party design I thought I’d create a little party of my own and invite some very special guests – my lovely little nieces! There are lots of photos here to satisfy your eye candy cravings! (click on the photos to view enlarged.)As a fan of cute & clever buffet titles I started figuring out the food items I’d have on the tables. I have closeups below of things like ‘bath bubbles’ and ‘pillow stuffing’. After all, this is a “Playful Puppy” party and what playful puppy doesn’t like getting into stuffing and out of the bath. I hope Jessica doesn’t mind that I used her Pastry Pedestal to hold the TP the puppy got into! (sitting over little dog house on right) It can be used for so many things!

I made just about everything but you really don’t have to. I bought rolled wafers for rawhides, storebought cotton candy took care of the pillow stuffing and yogurt covered raisins became bath bubbles. The flowers in the pots are just simple cookie jar butter cookies dunked in melted chocolate with an added popsicle stick. The cupcake toppers are little puppies getting into trouble, digging in the dirt to bury their “bones” (meringues.) I also added marshmallow paw prints. (Recipe in next post.)Kibble cakes were a favorite of mine. I made them exactly like rice krispie treats only I used mostly reeses puffs instead of all rice krispies. (Recipe to come in next post.)It seems I’m not the only one who liked the kibble cakes, there were –three– others who did too!

For savory food ideas we had mini corn dogs to which I added toppers, ‘shoestring’ french fries and chips that (to me) looked like rawhide chips. Of course, the plate holders were frisbees!For favors I made some sugar cookies and packaged them with a square tag on top but you can do anything you like. I had a customer who had their little guests go home with a plush puppy and an adoption certificate (included in package.)

Because I know there will be both boys and girls who would love a puppy party I went ahead and styled two color options with a girl puppy (little pink bow and collar) and a boy puppy.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little inspiration shoot. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment. I had lots of fun snapping photos of my little cuties enjoying their treats. To purchase this design please visit my etsy store page here.
