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.

mustache baby shower-13

My friend Richelle is just one of those people that is a ray of sunshine wherever she goes and lights up the lives of those around her. I'm guessing it's all the sun and water she got growing up in the Florida Keys. The minute she let us know she was expecting another little one, I got excited to start planning out her baby shower. Richelle thought the whole idea of these mustache parties was a { Read More! }

motorcycle low-50

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! }

owl baby shower

It's always exciting to hear from my friend Cecelia from Australia, because I know she'll soon send me some really darling photos of a party she's thrown. Cecelia is a regular mom (but bursting with creativity) so it's extra cool that she does such fabulous work, like in this Owl Baby Shower she recently held for her friend. I love the simplicity of the layout here; the party was an { Read More! }

I've partnered up with Sara Lee Desserts to bring you this easy pound cake recipe and a chance to win a Visa $50 gift card and coupons for three free pound cakes from Sara Lee.

Nathalie from Angelina's Dream Parties contacted me about helping with her daughter's birthday party to be held in Colombia. She flew from New York to have this beautiful party for her daughter among family. Even with all the travel, there was no detail left undone. I love her fabulously colorful and airy backdrop and the bugs, butterflies and birds all over. How cute { Read More! }

Shake It Up Party

One of my favorite things is getting fabulous party pics from talented moms out there! When Alexis adapted our Dance Party printables seen in the last post for a Shake It Up birthday party (that her daughter Isabella LOVED!) I was excited, but these pictures were the frosting on the cake. How fabulous are those hot pink tablecloths and glittery balls? I also loved the creative way { Read More! }

naughty-or-nice-dessert-table

The winter party season is always such a feast for the eyes with the abundance of sparkle and shimmer they always seem to have about them. With the New Years and snowflake season upon us, I was thrilled to see this "Naughty and Nice" dessert spread from my client Platinum Events & Productions.  This table was the statement piece at the Optometrix Holiday Party in Beverly Hills, CA.
