I'm a big fan of miniature bunting on cakes, so when I stumbled upon the Kiki La Ru Etsy shop, specializing in cake bunting made from vintage and upcycled fabrics, I had to post about it.
I think cake bunting is such a beautiful party element. It adds a whimsical, handcrafted feel to your cake (especially a homemade one). Take a look at these lovely photos...
We've gotten some great bug parties on our site.
The great thing about a bug party is that it's a pretty open-ended theme so there's lots of room for creativity, plus it's got just enough squeamishness to make things interesting.
Christine from Following Phubie made these adorable tool belts for all her guests at her her son Camden's Under Construction Birthday Party.
I asked Christine if she would share how she made them, so she put together this fabulous tutorial for us. Thank you, Christine!
When I saw these gorgeous crepe paper pomanders Brittany from Grey Grey Designs made for her Diamonds and Damask Engagement Party, I fell in love.
What a great way to make a statement at a party. And the best part is, they're something new. You might have seen pomanders made with real flowers, but I bet not like this!
I was just in my garden, and it inspired me to post these. How sweet would these be as favors...
I love these individual dessert pedestals Kristy of The Purple Pug made for her Donuts and Dragons Party.
So when Kristy said she'd be happy to do a quick tutorial on how she made them, I jumped at the chance.
I'm a big fan of homemade photo booths at parties. I think they're a great activity for guests, plus the host gets some nice memories out of it.
I also really like props. Props instantly get people to relax and have fun. Ask yourself, who doesn't love getting their picture taken in a big pink boa?
I just saw this on the Bella Grace Party Designs blog.
Paper and Pigtails has some free July 4th printable party circles, great for cupcake toppers and stickers.
The party went off without a hitch!! Lainey had a great time, we had a great time. It was a lot of work, but well worth it. Here are some pictures to show you what it looked like.
Setting up before the party. Everything was in Lainey's favorite colors -- pink and purple. The day couldn't have been more beautiful and if you look in the distance, you'll see the ocean.
Every time I plan a party, I'm always amazed at how many details there are and how much work the whole thing is.
