Event planner Keren Precel [1] always makes her kiddie parties extra special. (Remember this Brit-inspired bash [2]? Royal baby [3] fever, anyone?) So when it came time to throw a party for her son Enzo's third birthday (check out his second birthday party here [4]), of course she designed one impressive affair — only this time she took her inspiration from one of the oldest kid party themes around: the pizza party!
"Enzo loves pizza and loves to make pizza at home," Keren says. "It was just natural for me to throw him a pizza party, so he and his friends could enjoy both making and eating pizzas!" But Keren put her stylish spin on the theme, creating tons of cute pizzeria-inspired paper products and fun extras, like adorable, tiny pizza-box shaped favors, which housed cookies designed to look like mini pies!
Keep scrolling to check out all the other ways Keren turned a kid's favorite dinner into something extra-special at this party!
