Last weekend my daughter had a pretty epic and magical birthday party! Due to the pandemic, we decided to keep it small this year and only invite a few close friends we have been bubbling with since the beginning of quarantine.
My daughter kept asking for a sleepover but I knew the girls were all still pretty young to actually stay the night. However I still wanted to give her a sleepover feel so I reserved some beautiful teepees from Elite Teepees. And even though none of the girls stayed the night, we had her party at nighttime and all the girls wore matching pajamas! And all of the decorations (including the teepee colors, pajamas, cake, balloons, nail polish, and tote bag paint colors) were all pastel and it was so beautiful!
I love that Elite Teepees is a small, local, family owned business that makes birthday parties hassle free. The owners are extremely kind, creative, and pay attention to every detail! They come in and set everything up the morning before the party and then come back the next day and clean everything up! Since there is so much beautiful detail, it takes about an hour or so to set up and take down but it is so worth it!!!! But if you prefer a no contact delivery, you can find out more here. I can’t even begin to describe to you the faces of the girls when they all walked in and saw the teepees! Their mouths just dropped at the sheer beauty and excitement for the “sleepover” party they were about to partake in! And their favorite part was seeing their name hanging on a sign on their teepee! It was definitely like a fairytale dream come to life!
Elite Teepees has 10 themes to choose from, but we chose something very bohemian and feminine. They also have themes for boys too – including a dinosaur theme and a game day theme! We chose the Free Spirt theme. And they also have a lot of different add-ons you can chose from like flower crowns, unicorn crowns, cakes, breakfast, blacklight, star projector, and games. Each tent comes with a tray with a candle for decoration and an individually wrapped eye mask on it that each girl can take home. And I added individually wrapped flower crowns to my daughter’s party, which each girl also was able to take home. Everything was very clean and set up perfectly!

Elite Teepees serves San Diego County, Riverside County, and Orange County, so if you live in the area, I highly recommend them! They told me they set up parties for toddlers to teenagers for more than just birthdays – in fact, any occasion you can think of like a beach party, a garden party, a graduation party, weddings, or even a just because party, you can find a reason to have Elite Teepees at your home for a party to remember!
We even had Janet Morrin Designs come over and decorate the teepees with customized color coordinating balloons that each girl got to take home at the end of the night! She creates beautifully designed balloon installations for any occasion! It was the perfect touch!
We also did a group craft and painted customized canvas tote bags from Create Art Party! In addition to the totes, they also have incredible craft ideas from fairy gardens, painting kits, sensory bottles, dreamcatchers, DIY face masks kits, and even holiday snowglobes and Santa sacks!
You can buy your crafts individually or in a party in a box for 4, 6, or 8 children. And everything you need comes delivered right to your door! For these tote kits, you will receive a canvas tote for each child with their name personalized in a beautiful font and a design of your choice stenciled on it, a set of paints, stencil paint brushes, and a pin to remove the small pieces of the stencil when removed! We decided to go with the koala design since my daughter is currently obsessed with koalas and since all the girls received matching flower crowns, the koala was also wearing a flower crown so it was perfect! I edited the girl’s names for privacy but head to their website to see other beautiful examples!
Then we painted the girl’s nails with Piggy Paint! I love their nail polish because it’s non-toxic and safe for children. Their polish is also odorless and cruelty free. They have so many colors to choose from and even have basecoat, topcoat, and polish remover! Each fir was able to take home a bottle of Piggy Paint nail polish and I also bought each girl a manicure set that she could use at the party and take home afterwards!
The manicure station at the party was a big hit! The girls felt extra pampered and special!
Once the girls had pizza and cake, they spent the rest of the evening in their teepees watching Frozen 2, opening presents, and talking! The girls loved how the teepees lit up and how the start lit up the ceiling! And after all the girls left, me and both of the kids slept in the teepees. It was definitely a night and a birthday to remember forever!!!!
As I looked around the next morning at the teepees, it reminded me what a wonderful party it was and how much my daughter and her friends had the best time together!
