I'm really into party wreaths, so when I saw this homemade wreath Amy C made for her Milla Turns 3 in a Rainbow of Ribbons Party, I had to ask her if she'd do a tutorial for us. Thank you, Amy, for agreeing, and take it away...

I love the idea of a wreath hanging on the front door to greet party guests at any soiree. They are such a great way to set a tone for the party as people arrive. I have seen a few different and fun styles of wreaths around but when my daughters 3rd birthday party theme was decided on - 'Rainbow of Ribbons' - I knew I had to put something together so came up with a ribbon wreath.

As I said before, I'm a forward thinking girl, so here is our first set of FREE Valentine's Day party printables designed by Emily of Magnolia Creative Co.

This gorgeous "cupid" collection includes: an invitation, large party circles, medium party circles, party labels, favor tags, Valentine's Day cards, drink flags, food tents, and a "Happy Valentine's Day" banner. Everything you need to throw a love-filled party!

Art parties are one of my all-time favorite themes and I love when they show up on our main site. You can see from these parties how creative you can get with the decor, plus you have a built in activity for your guests. Brilliant!

Here's something we've been seeing on our main site for a while: whirly pops!

I'm not saying the moms at your parties will be happy with you serving their kids these gigantic sticky, sugary treats, but they do look great on a dessert table, work well as party favors, and are just so darn pretty. (Click on the photos to see what parties they came from.)

Anyone who has read my blog or my posts knows I am a huge fan of cake bunting. What is cake bunting, you ask? Mini banners you stick into cakes. Like this adorable one Carey B made for her Teddy Bear Picnic.

I asked Carey if she would put together a tutorial for us, and she so sweetly said yes. So without further ado, here is Carey's cake bunting tutorial...

Just in case you're snowed in watching Sesame Street with your kids, I thought I'd show off these great Elmo parties we've seen on our site. You can't go wrong with Elmo. Boy... girl... works for both, and there are so many ways to make it your own! Here are some interesting ideas...

Rene K's Carnival Elmo! - A carnival themed Elmo party with a gorgeous cake, Elmo cake pops, cupcakes with Elmo toppers, a bunting banner, cotton candy, and peanuts.

It's almost Christmas! Here's a way to get into the spirit with some more Christmas dessert table "eye candy." Enjoy... and have a very merry and safe Christmas!

If you're looking for something classically elegant for your New Year's parties, take a look at these lovely FREE party printables designed by Kelli Britt of the Paper Dolls Shoppe. These will definitely add that wow factor to your party! (Also, check out the New Year's Eve parties on our site to give you more inspiration!)

Nicole, who created the gorgeous Sugar Plum Fairy Birthday Party we've featured on our site, was so kind to put together a tutorial for how she made her tulle garlands.

Now she's being unbelievably generous by putting together another tutorial, this one for how she made her dramatic gumdrop branch centerpieces. Thank you, Nicole...

Not just dessert tables... Christmas dinner tables.  Now that we're in the Christmas home stretch, I thought you'd find these tables inspiring...
