If you're thinking that you don't want to do a party in traditional Christmas colors this year, take some inspiration from these fresh wintery blue parties... Brrrrrrr.
Chris N's Let It Snow Ladies Night Gift Exchange -- I love the hanging silver snowflakes on the navy blue backdrop and the use of white and silver desserts.
Wow, what gorgeous FREE Christmas printables Renee and Alex from The Inspired Occasion designed for us to give away! I just love how playful and modern they are!
There are blank Christmas party invitations, cupcake toppers/decorative circles, a large "Celebrate Christmas" bunting banner, food label tents/place cards, drink flags, and my personal favorite... a cake bunting banner (for those of you who don't know, it's a mini banner to hang from mini wooden dowels to decorate your cake)!
This week's party photo comes from Frog Prince Paperie's Gingerbread Christmas Cookie Exchange.
Here are some beautiful Thanksgiving tablescapes to give you lots of ideas for your own celebration...
Amanda P's Thanksgiving Dinner Table and Dessert Table
What is the new hot color? Purple! In the last two months we have seen a slew of purple parties on our site... birthdays, showers, even Halloween parties. Why, you might ask? Because purple's fresh and unexpected and a nice alternative to pink. Plus, it looks great with an accent color. See for yourself...
Corrie S's Everything Purple Baby Shower

Here are some beautiful Strawberry Shortcake parties on our site. I love when people take a theme based on a popular character and make it there own. Take a look at these creative ideas...
Jessica M's Vintage Strawberry Shortcake Party
Nicole W did something amazing at her Magical Cornish Fairy Affair. She added twinkle lights to her punch and water dispensers and made them glow!
I've never seen anything like this, so I had to ask Nicole how she pulled it off. Here's what she said:
One of my daughter's all-time favorite shows is Yo Gabba Gabba. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a trip. It's got these giant characters who live in Gabba Land, a DJ puppet master named DJ Lance Rock, and A-list guest stars including Jack Black, Andy Samberg, Mya, Tony Hawk, Elijah Wood, and others.
What's great about Yo Gabba Gabba as a party theme is that it can work for a girl or a boy, it's got a wonderful color pallet, and there's awesome music.

I'm loving Ticings, which are edible icing appliqués that can you can use on cupcakes, cakes, cookies, brownies, you name it. You just peel them off like little stickers and press them onto your dessert.
