I'm so excited to announce a new page on our site called party inspirations and themes.

It's just a big list o' themes, but if you click on one, you'll see all the parties on our site with that theme.

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.

Just like the FREE sophisticated and feminine party printables we posted last week, here's the male version. These printables would work great for a birthday, boy baby shower, mustache bash, or any other kind of "manly" event you can think of!

This gorgeous collection, designed by Kirsten of Embellish includes: invitations, party circles, tented cards, party tags, cupcake wrappers, favor tags, drink flags, water bottle labels, a "let's party" banner, and a "party this way" sign.

I ran across a post on Twitter from Betsy at Belly Feathers Party Blog, where she was using our Thanksgiving printables for her Oscar party.

This got me thinking... What other printables do we have that could be used for other parties?  So I went looking through our catalog, and pulled these basic ones out.

This is a new feature I'm starting where I find a gorgeous party on our site done on a tight budget, and I ask the Catch My Party member how she pulled it off.

This Ice Cream Social Surprise Birthday was put together by Shelley K. When I read on her party page that she put it together for a little over $100 I had to know how she did it.

Baking and cooking are two of my favorite things to do, so I'm excited that baking and cooking parties have become a major trend on our site.

What's great about them is the built-in activity, the fact that your guests don't go home hungry, and these parties are easy to personalize!
