Warmer weather is here! And to have a little fun, we decided what better way to celebrate that, than with a fabulous ice cream party? Yes, please. Ice cream always tastes better when shared with loved ones.
For us, it’s all about finding the magic in those simple moments. Isn’t that what ice cream is all about?
It’s definitely ice cream season.
When I think of happy foods, ice cream It might be the purest form of happiness a-la core memories as a child. It always brings a smile, and it’s such a cool, delightful treat in all this hot weather.
For our little party, we broke out some fun goodies and printables!
This is the perfect idea for the hot summer days ahead.
We have all the free printables below, but we also included cone wraps, stickers and more if you want to throw your own party!
We cut some colorful card stock, and added it to twine to give it the classic “awning look”, with all the fun colors.
And we brought in fun toppings in these cute little containers, along with bowls, place holders, and more for a color-filled, eclectic vibe.
I don’t know about you guys, but we want to eat this photo. I think we should all aspire to be as photogenic and happy as ice cream!
We’re all about a well-planned buffet, especially with Ice Cream.

The kids really had a blast with a special celebration.
We loved bringing in colorful accents with glass containers to hold all the gum balls, our own bunting designs {available above!} and these giant, light up ice creams.
They’re actually piggy banks, with battery-powered twinkle lights. They now work as night lights in each kiddos’ room. So quirky and fun!
I even designed this sweet little ice cream truck, as a part of the invitations, or on it’s own in large and in charge form.
All the colorful accessories! We truly can never have enough when it comes to all things fun parties.
The perfect pairing with these fun Edy’s® Slow Churned® flavors.
Vintage-esque sodas, fun colorful accessories, and more!
It totally gave us vintage ice cream parlor vibes.
Such a fun little set up!
As always, let us know if you throw your own ice cream party. So amazingly yummy.
What’s your favorite part? We’d love to hear!
Have an inspired day!

Looks great! Very inspiring for an end-of-school year party for our home school. 🙂
I have a question about the patterned bowls in the photos. Many years ago, I bought some at Anthropologie in a set of four. All but one have broken since then, and I’ve been hoping to find new ones. Just wondering where you got yours. Thanks!
