Party Swap Friday {Camping Features & Request for Party Activities}

Last week's Party Swap Friday, I asked readers to share some camping ideas. Randi from Dukes and Duchesses has FIVE kids and has thrown every type of party (and ridiculously cute ones at that)-- including camping!

Camp Dukes Campout Party

Party Highlights: 

• Party invitation in the shape of a tent
• Great use of out door materials such as wood, pine cones, & rocks
• Camp fire cupcakes
• Camp Dukes just has a nice ring, doesn't it? I love all the Camp Dukes signs

Thanks for letting me share! For more party pictures and details, visit Dukes and Duchesses blog

Melanna of Rhapsody of Cacophony shared her latest party as well. 

This Teddy Bear Picnic Party is so super cute!

Party Highlights:

• Loads of activities from a paw print hunt, crafting bear ears, ball pit, parachute games, and ribbon pull bee hive pinata
• Picnic style lunch
• Adorable Invitation in the shape of a bear
• Tons of teddy bear party decorations and foods

Camping Cake & Rustic Stand = Perfect Match

Last Friday's Party Swap brought on a challenge to find camping party ideas for Stacy from She's {kinda} Crafty.

Bonus points if it involved ribbon.

This cake caught my eye. Perfect for a camping party. Then I realized that I had just the stand for it. I found it in the clearance section for $5.  It was bright fiesta colors, but it had a beautiful glass top. So I wrapped it in twine and added some fabric ties. Much more rustic and natural looking now. 

Don't they make a lovely couple?
