A Beatrix Potter Party
My sweet and creative sister-in-law threw her son an amazing birthday party recently! It was an adorable joint birthday party with her sister and her sister’s daughter.
Cousins having a sweet Beatrix Potter birthday party together!
And you know I love a good birthday party {who doesn’t?}. The decor was simply stunning.
Have you ever been to a Beatrix Potter birthday party? Me neither!
And what a fantastic idea for an Easter tablescape too.
The photos below say it all.
I bought my daughter the collection of Beatrix Potter books before she was even born.
I even found this adorable miniature set! Adorable.
So when we received this invitation in the mail, I couldn’t wait to go!
{Invitation from Anista Designs on Etsy}
The party was just like the books!
Okay, these Peter Rabbit cupcake holders are too cute for words!
They were purchased from Amazon {affiliate link below}.

The yummy treats were all made locally from the Sweet Bake Shop.
She even has a cute blog too!
Did you notice the cute signs in the mossy clay pots? Such a great idea for displaying the menu.
I’ll post the titles above each photo.
Squirrel Nutkins Cheese Plate
Flopsy’s Lemon Drops
Jeremy Fisher’s Splash
I tasted it and it didn’t taste swampy at all!
The perfect centrepiece! Kale flowers, ivy and moss.
Don’t ever go into Mr. McGregor’s Garden! Someone they managed to escape with these yummy veggies.
Mrs. McGregor’s Roses
Benjamin Bunnies
You can find the recipe for these too-cute-to-eat-cookies here.
Mrs. Tittlemouse’s Scones were snatched up quickly!
Have you ever seen anything more adorable than a Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-duck reading together under a cloche? I think not!
The weather was stunning that day! So stunning, in fact, that photo taking was a bit difficult.
Here is a lovely tea set on a vintage cart.
This adorable banner says “We Are One”. So cute!
The banner is from Kylie’s Chic Boutique on Etsy.
I love this guest book table. Guests were to write their names in a Peter Rabbit book.
Radish, anyone?
The frame displays the little ones favourite activities and their nicknames. So cute.
Such a delicious cake! It was a family recipe made by the cousins’ grandmother.
Guests left with their own copy of a Beatrix Potter book and a pick of either the rose or bunny cookie along with pack of gummy worms.
My daughter picked the bunny 😉
Let’s look at those Peter Rabbits one more time.
I think this was simply one of the most adorable parties I’ve seen.
And everyone had such a lovely time.
Doesn’t it give you some wonderful ideas for an Easter tablescape?

May 18, 2014 at 5:28 amHi. I really love the Peter Rabbit theme party. I am having a dear friend a baby shower and I am doing the Beatrice Potter Peter Rabbit theme but can’t seem to find the Peter rabbit cupcake holder where he is pushing the wheel barrow. Can you help? Was this your party shown and perhaps you would like to sell yours? Thanks so much.

April 5, 2016 at 4:01 amHi! Where abouts could I buy the Peter rabbit cupcake holders?
Jamie says
June 21, 2016 at 9:33 pmThey used to sell them on Amazon and I’ve never been able to find them again! Sorry. They are soooo cute!
Vanessa Sanchez says
June 5, 2016 at 8:02 pmIs there a website I can order those PR cardboard cut outs (the ones that are used with cupcakes)
Thanks! Vanessa
Jamie says
June 21, 2016 at 9:34 pmAmazon used to sell them but I can’t find them there or anywhere anymore 🙁 I always get asked. They are the cutest things ever, I wish someone sold them! Good luck.
Hugs, Jamie

My sister-in-law just used the back pages of a Beatrix Potter book for the guest book! Sorry for my late response.
