When it comes to stylish kids’ birthday parties, this glam camping party for Emily Maynard’s daughter, Ricki, was one to remember. Inspired by the popular “glamping” trend and designed with girly outdoor details, this celebration combined cozy camp vibes with colorful desserts, custom decorations, and thoughtful party favors.Fans of The Bachelorette and The Bachelor may recognize Emily Maynard for her signature Southern style, and this party reflected that same charming aesthetic with pinks, purples, lime green accents, rustic wood details, and glamorous dessert styling. We had just five days to pull the entire event together, but seeing Ricki’s reaction when she walked into the party made every late night worth it.
A Glam Camping Party Full of Creative Details
The theme centered around a fun and feminine take on camping. Guests were welcomed with a custom indoor teepee setup, cozy pillows, yarn garlands, lanterns, and playful glamping-inspired décor.
The party design mixed rustic outdoor textures with soft, girly touches, including:
- Whitewashed wood slices and logs
- Pink milk glass cake stands
- Chevron patterns and ruffled accents
- Twine, yarn, and fabric buntings
- Bright pink, purple, and lime green color palettes
The custom “Camp Ricki” details made the event feel extra personal and created a memorable experience for every guest.
Glam Camping Dessert Table Ideas
The dessert table became the focal point of the party and featured a mix of camping-inspired treats and elegant sweets. We styled the table with layered heights, rustic wood décor, and coordinated printable party graphics from our Glam Camping printable collection.
Some favorite desserts included:
- S’mores cupcakes
- French macarons
- Chocolate-covered pretzels
- Chocolate-dipped apples
- Meringue pops and cookies
- Marshmallow flower treats
- Trail mix favor jars
- Personalized s’mores kits
The desserts perfectly captured the “glam camping” theme while still feeling playful and kid-friendly.
Personalized Glamping Party Favors
Each guest received a collection of adorable custom favors to take home, including:
- Personalized tote bags
- Lounge wear and pajama sets
- Custom water canteens
- Handmade headbands
- Felt flower cuffs
- “Camp Ricki” accessories
- Individual s’mores kits
The personalized details helped make the sleepover-style camping party feel extra special for the girls.
Outdoor Glam Camping Activities
Emily Maynard also created a beautiful outdoor setup where the girls could enjoy classic camping-inspired activities with a glamorous twist. Guests painted wooden birdhouses, explored outdoor tents, played games, and enjoyed the summer evening together. Even in the heat, the girls had an amazing time celebrating outdoors before heading inside for cake and birthday treats.
