The Secret to a Party's Success

We all know how exhausting it can be to plan a party.  Whether you want a big party, an intimate one, lavish or simple, you are aiming to please the guest (s) of honor but also accommodate to your guests as well.  Firstly, it's about figuring out the location and what's on the menu. Secondly, it's about the decorations and entertainment.  Whichever ranks first to last on your list of priority, it all comes down to details, details, details.

We have one simple solution that will make a world of difference but not make you grow a bunch of white hairs at the end of the day.  Inevitably, you have to decide the location and menu yourself because no one knows your guests and you more than you.  Entertainment is a toss up depending on the occasion and logistics.  Then, there are decorations.  Decorations set the scene.  It's the first thing your guests see when they walk in and it's what they initially talk about and hopefully, if you work with us, what they are still talking about after the party.  And, most importantly, it's what gets captured on camera for everlasting memories when the party is over and done with.  

This is where we come in.  If you don't have time to run around buying decorations, or can't find what you want, or don't even know what you want, we can handle it for you.  It's one thing to set the amazing food on a table with beautiful platters, but it's a completely different story when you add personal touches to it that tie the event, the guest of honor and the theme into it.

Two main items: banner and monogram toppers.  That's it.  Simple, affordable, and zero work on your part.  We can design a beautiful banner for you to hang that matches your theme.  But the real secret to a party's success are the monogram toppers.  A simple design or two or three on toothpicks to stick on any of your food items or decor and your party is instantly personalized.  You can even scatter them on the table, use them on party favors, etc, to add more to your decor.  But that's it!

Butterfly Kisses and Floral Wishes

We had such a great time planning this birthday party with one of the sweetest moms we know.  Her initial vision was to have butterflies and flowers and theme colors of purple, pink and green.  The rest she left it in our hands with full trust and we had so much fun putting it all together.  

Firstly, and most importantly, was setting the scene and ambience with the invitation.  The invitation consisted of all the designs that would be incorporated into the party and enclosed in a pretty lavender envelope.  Personalized return labels were also made to match the invitation. 

One of our most favorite projects were the banners she requested.  She wanted an "I Am 1" banner on her child's highchair which has really become a trend these days. 

The second banner she wanted was a one through twelve month banner where she could feature a picture of every month of her daughter's first year.  LOVE!  Normally, parents decide to feature pictures on the invitation or on a poster, but this was a more stylish and fun way to display the pictures.  We glued on pink baby clips so that she could easily attach the pictures to the banner, compliments of www.favorsandfixings.com.

The third banner was, of course, the birthday banner!  Happy Birthday Kate!   

One of the new trendy products we love are mason jars for the guests.  Our client chose the smaller ones and had us personalize labels for all the kids attending the event.  What a great touch to make every kid at the party feel special!  

We also made personalized tags for the party favors that were placed in elegant Organza Pouches that can also be found at www.favorsandfixings.com.

A crowd pleaser was the personalized water bottles that featured Kate's name and design and also fun Nutrition Facts.

Our designs also included food signs made in folded tent style like place cards.

Thank you again for letting us be a part of your daughter's special day and hope you look forward to many more milestones for your Kate.

All About Mickey

We got to put together a Mickey Mouse Birthday Party for a two year old and let's just say that the possibilities are truly endless with Mickey Mouse.  There were so many ideas to choose from and one cuter than the next.  Firstly, we went with the traditional theme colors of black, red and yellow.    

The invitation consisted of Mickey Mouse's head as the enclosure and the invite in a circular shape.  The design on the invitation was simple since the enclosure was the real attention grabber and we didn't want too much design work to drown out the picture of Antonio.  This was placed in a beautiful shimmer gold envelope with personalized address labels as well. 

The banner featured a Happy Birthday sign in two clouds with the Disney font followed by the child's name in Mickey Mouse ears with the Mickey Mouse font.  A red backdrop was our canvas and we added yellow streamers, balloons and cute foil Mickey Mouse decorations we found on Amazon.  

Our table was laid out to feature a picture of the birthday boy in the center along a black runner.  Snacks included spinach artichoke dip with Mickey Mouse bread silhouettes made from cookie cutters.  There were also mini pizzas and baked potato bites that were all dressed with small monograms on toothpicks to tie in the theme.  

Everything had a food sign specially personalized with Mickey ears. 

Desserts included Oreo cookies made into the shape of Mickey Mouse as well as a chocolate cake dressed with figurines and a personalized mini cake banner for the special boy.  A second cake was made in the shape of Mickey Mouse as well and was the perfect ending to a classic yet detailed party.  There were also chocolate cupcakes with Nutella frosting .....

A fruit platter was an easy task and made extra special by simply cutting watermelon into Mickey Mouse shapes.  

Party favors consisted of red chocolate covered hazelnut balls in mini plastic cups turned upside down and wrapped in cellophane and ribbon, and of course with another personalized monogram.  

A second party favor was a transparent, plastic favor box stuffed with candies.  Since the box was clear, we put red with white polka dots tissue paper to tie in the theme colors.  The outside was decorated with another monogram and ribbon.  The best things about these boxes is that they are clear and you really can do anything you want with them and they are big enough to put in any type of favor.   You can purchase these at www.favorsandfixings.com along with your other party supplies.  

One of our guests' favorite details was the "I AM 2" banner placed along the high chair which was great for cake pictures.  

We also designed personal napkin rings to add a touch of elegance to the table setting.

One unique thing that we did was design a poster where all the guests had to write one word to describe the birthday boy.  This made for a great activity as well as a special keepsake for the birthday boy.  Once the festivities are over, the parents are going to put all of the Mickey Mouse ears that were written on and include it in the baby's birthday album to read when he is older.  We love planning parties but it's icing on the cake when you can keep those memories forever!

Happy Birthday Antonio!  We hope you had a blast with Mickey!
