{Two average moms who enjoy making the EveryDay SAVVY}We have found that Spray Paint, Scrapbook Paper and Fabric can give anything a face lift.The Dollar Bin at Target is better than a Sale Rack at Nordstrom’s (well maybe not, but that is what we tell our husbands). Pictures of family are Priceless compared to Framed Art (and cheaper). And nothing is better than Starbucks……but you can live without it, as long as you have a good Coffee Creamer.
We Love Play Dates and Parties, Decor and Design, and creating Perfection for Pennies. But Play Dates are kind of our ‘thing’.
Webster defines a play date as~an arranged appointment for children to get together for a few hours to play. While this is true, we wanted more.
And so began our Savvy Play Parties…the Ultimate play date!!!
A Savvy Moms play party is one that is creative, interactive, educational, fun, healthy and delicious, all at the same time. And every month we host one! We always want our followers to feel like they can create the parties we share. Our Play Parties are filled with Penny Projects, EveryDay Finds and DIY creations.
With that we present to you our
“Rock of Love” Play Party.
A day filled with Savvy Stylings that we hope ‘Makes your heart Sing’.
We think it is a great way for the kids to get excited about what they are doing if they have something in front of them that is personalized and themed. To create these place mats, and usually all of our Play Party place mats, we use 12×12 sheets of scrapbook paper, usually found in the Target Dollar bins or what we may have laying around. We used our Silhouette to cut out each kiddos initials, place onto a doilie and covered with contact paper.
We found these Valentine Trees at Jo-Anns and used them as our Rock Candy Tree, hanging Ring Pops off of them.
The cupcake stand was also a DIY idea inspired by Skip to My Lou. We followed the tutorial on how to make a cupcake stand, replaced the plates with records and added a touch of leopard and glitter heart stickers from the target Dollar bins creating one Savvy cupcake stand. We also used records and turned them into serving trays for the cookies, clever and creative!
The kids craft for the day were these adorable wooden guitars and hearts also found at Jo-Anns in the Dollar Bins.
When we saw these Adorable Heart Pockets on One Charming Party we knew they were perfect. Savvy and Simple just the way we like it!
What a sweet party.

wow…i love it all…going to bookamrk their site RIGHT.NOW!!
This is so clever. I can't decide when I see things like this if I'm sorry my kids are too old for such a thing, or glad that we missed the current trend of "over the top" play dates and birthday parties. Life was much easier for moms a few years back!
What happened to kids just playing?! But if the whole playdate trend produces such awesome set-ups as this one, then it's certainly justified. Kudos to the Savvy Moms for their educational, interactive, and healthy approach to playdates!
That's amazing!
These girls sure know how to make a party FUN and UNFORGETTABLE! Such adorable ideas…makes me wish I still had little girls around.
Such a cute party! I love the microphone cupcakes!
how cute! i may have to steal some of your ideas! this would be perfect for my 10 yr. old daughter and some of her friends after school one day! LOVE LOVE LOVE your site!!!! thanks for sharing! 🙂
I love it all! I think my favorite part of the Rock of Love is the two-tiered record serving platters! So creative!
