{Real Party} It’s a True Blood Birthday

October 31, 2012 4 Comments
Pin It

 

Based on the book series the Southern Vampire Mysteries, the HBO Series True Blood has gained a cult following. It can be a bit of an adult show, so tackling this theme and making it a classy event you wouldn’t mind your kids attending had to be a challenge. Dina Hafez-Suggs of Deliciously Darling Events is nothing less than Wonder Woman in my mind with her crazy party design talent, and she delivered this True Blood party for her very own birthday in spades! Our “grown up” shop, Frog Prince Occasions, was very excited to provide her the printables to accent her party.

I think one of my favorite things that she did was order up a food truck for her event. How cool is that? It’s an idea worth borrowing for sure.

There are a zillion details in this True Blood party that make it really spectacular. Dina has a  full recap of her party on her site here, and all about the dessert display here. Thanks again, Dina, for letting us be part of your birthday party! It was fantastically fun.

It's always so much fun to see someone else take a set of graphics and totally make a party their owns. La Belle Bulle of France used the Bewitching Halloween set to create this darling Halloween spread! I especially love the witch hat on milk bottles. You can see the Frog Prince Paperie version of a Bewitching Halloween here. { Read More! }

Zombies seem to be all the rage these days. And I admit, they are kind of fun. When you think about it, zombies are inherently silly things. For Celebrations.com, I recently came up with some Zombie Party ideas that are equally perfect for Halloween (if your audience is old enough.) Personally, the fake blood and blood spatters gacked me out and I couldn't be done with this party fast enough, { Read More! }

Halloween Treat Tutorial: Mini-Push Pop Oreo Cookie Shots

oreo cookie shots-6

Push pops are wildly popular at parties now--you can fit all kind of sweet and interesting things in a fun to eat tube! I was so excited to see that push pops now come in miniature sizes, which opens up a whole range of possibilities for creative desserts. Since it's such a small size (3/4 ounce) it's just enough to fill with a little bite. For my first experiment, I used Oreo truffle filling. { Read More! }

Let the Ghoul Times Roll

WhOOooOOoo's up for a little glow-in-the-dark halloween fun this year? I am. It's a tricky balance you have to strike when throwing a halloween party with just the right amount of spook for the very young.  Black lights and glowing dishes (food too!) provide the level of scariness that can make a party fun, but not have your younger guests racing back to the minivans!

Part of the fun of Halloween is all the fun Halloween food and creepy sweets that crawl out for the season. At the Black Cat Ball seen in Festivities Magazine, I tried to make a few things that might be seen as a bit "fancy" for the kids. Little tiny cakes you want to put your pinkie up to eat like petite fors definitely fit the bill. I'm not usually one to undergo hours and hours of work on a { Read More! }

Halloween Black Cat Ball

  This year, I thought it would be fun to throw a kid-fancy party for our Halloween bash for Festivities Magazine.  It was all about luxury on paper—draping curtains, candlesticks and cake stands all were printed and used to make a striking backdrop for a spooky “Black Cat Ball.” A few feathers, sparkling touches and satiny tablecloths, and the kids thought they were spooky high { Read More! }

Not everyone is going to throw a full-out ball for a halloween party. I know--I can't believe it either, but it's the truth. So to provide some inspiration for a get together that isn't as time consuming, I put together this low-effort party table. "Low-effort" meaning it shouldn't take but a few hours to put together the whole thing. This party originally was seen in Festivities { Read More! }
