However, lately, all that glitter is gold.

polka dot Popsicle party.

Next Tuesday is officially the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! What better way to celebrate than with a Popsicle party*?!  This party was inspired by the free Polka Dot Popsicle Party printables offered by the ever fabulous party printable designers - Party Box Design.  

If you want to plan this super cute and easy party for later in the summertime (like i am)... here's just a few ideas and links to help make your party as sweet as can be: 

recipe for Watermelon-Lime pops 

photo credit + link to recipe for cupcake Popsicles 

the recipe for Bomb Pop cupcakes

the popsicles that never melt, because they are cookies how to post

 the "pastel" Popsicle pops  [shown plated]

stack a couple brightly frosted mini cupcakes

 in the clear push pop containers from Garnish to use as favors - 

this presentation is all the rage with party planners around the World! 

my other favorite polka dotted party supply place is, of course, Polka Dot Market. In fact, I am waiting to host my Popsicle party because I am specifically waiting to order their new fabric backdrops in Gumball - just $20 - this multicolored polka dotted fabric backdrop will get a number of uses for the price!  

and one last photo credit goes to ohdeedoh - 

the bowl of pops. Because, great minds think alike!
