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.

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! }

I'm excited to show off my new line of party ware: Monkey Business! Our little monkey man is cute and cuddly and completely customizable. He started out as a hand drawn picture, then with a little magic, we got him to hop onto our invitations, cupcake toppers and wrappers.  He works for bananas, but I hear he really loves birthday cake. As any good southern hostess does, I'm leaving my { Read More! }
