boy fairy tale party-1

We were so excited to have Elissa of One Stone Events contribute to the summer issue of Festivities Magazine. Her fairy tale mash-up party is definitely a new favorite of mine! I worked with her to develop some new, unique printables for her event, and Nicole of Tikkido.com helped with darling Peter Pan inspired bunting and Pan hats. Of course, there was a whole cast of talented vendors that contributed to this incredible party! You can see more pictures and where to find all these amazing products on Elissa’s post about her party here.

These invitations were so much fun to create. I wrote a poem about feathers for the top and some other whimsical copy and sized them so Elissa could roll them up and stick them in a bottle to deliver.

The dessert table was full of treats from lots of talented sugar artists, such Love and Sugar Kisses.

She had a three little pigs in a blanket bar! How clever is that?? You really have to go to her site to see more details on this spread. boy fairy tale party-3

 

There are so so many more pictures to see of this boy’s fairy tale mash up party. It’s a Peter Pan party, big bad wolf party, and three little pigs party all rolled into one! There was a backyard movie complete with tents for “camping out,” baskets for each family to dine al fresco, and crafts and favors for the ids that were something got see! Again, amazing job, Elissa, we were so happy to have you as part of our summer issue.

Star Wars Glam Spa Party {Real Party}

31 Star Wars Glam Jedi Training certificate 2

Star Wars is NOT just for boys. I would venture to say I know about as many little girls in love with these movies as little boys. And what I adore about little girls who love Star Wars is that they totally take a very masculine movie and twist into something very much their own. Like Amanda...who wanted a Star Wars Spa Party. Jedi training, nail painting and Princess Leia all in one fun package. { Read More! }

Motorcycle Rally Boy’s Birthday Party {Real Party}

My son's birthday party is my favorite one that I throw all year. Boy parties are challenging. No pink, no fluff, just down and dirty wholesome boy goodness. That can be fun if you let it! After some gentle steering from his father, our kiddo was quite enthusiastic about paying homage to motorcycles. For weeks before (and after!) the party all conversations focused around motorcycles in one way or { Read More! }

superhero birthday party

Superhero parties are always so fun to flip through. They're colorful, highly graphic and the kids always look so darn cute running around in their masks and superhero capes. So when my dear client Cecelia wanted a superhero party for her son, I was pretty excited to help her out! (She is so super creative, no pun intended.) Thank you to Jacinta Young Photography for the beautiful photos. As { Read More! }

motorcycle birthday party custom invitation

Things are very busy here putting together the Summer issue of Festivities Magazine, and after laying out the motorcycle party we threw for Brennan's 4th birthday, I thought everyone might appreciate a sneak peak. For this party, we were able to borrow a motorcycle from the nice people over at Space Coast Harley Davidson for a photoshoot. We had such a ball--and I got more than one lucky shot--so { Read More! }

DIY Plate Chargers for Simple Elegance

diy chargers-1

I'm going to make a small admission here.  I didn't properly prepare for the Operation Shower event I volunteered to create a design for. It was a few busy weeks of travel and back-to-back shoots in November. Which meant a last minute scramble and very simple, but elegant effort (at 2am after a long flight.) Individual place settings are always a creative stress for me -- but with some gold { Read More! }

A lot can be said for the morning time birthday- freshly rested toddlers, clothes that haven't been spilled on, finishing touches done while little ones are still asleep, and naps for all when it's over.  Ah yes, the morning birthday - a wonderfully overlooked little treasure. Pairing this great little party timing with a theme around some of the sweetest lyrics ever written, ones that evoke { Read More! }
