This awesome SURF SHACK BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Carol Rivera of Once Upon a Party.

This is such a cute surfing party. I especially love the amazing cake that looks like waves and the fun surf board cookies. I also love the fun orange chevron pattern used throughout. You could use ideas from this party for a birthday party, pool party, under the sea, or fun summer time party.

My favorite Surf Shack party ideas and elements from this fun birthday celebration are:

• The awesome surfing cake
• The cute surf board cookies
• The fun shark fin cupcakes
• The cute glass drinking bottles tied with twine
• The cute Volkswagen surfing van
• and MORE!

This is what Carol said about planning the party- “Inspired by Disney’s “Teen Beach movie” filmed in Puerto Rico, I styled this Surf’s Up birthday party for my nephew Sebastian. It is funky, crispy and unique.
We styled the sweets table with surf boards and beach waves as the backdrop, tin pails for the candy, a vintage VW van as one of the decoration elements, “shark attack” cupcakes, beautiful favor bags, surf board cookies, ice cream tubs…”
