My whole philosophy about throwing a great party is that you only need a few unexpected details to make it special. Well, for this party, which is today, I'm living my own advice.

So what are my unexpected details?

Finally, finally. Now that my daughter and I have both recovered from being sick and I've returned from Bloggy Boot Camp, I'm finally able to post photos of my daughter's 4th mermaid birthday.

Here is my daughter with her fairy princess hat. She debated wearing a mermaid costume, but ultimately fell in love with this dress. The face paint was of her own design. Every Friday, the children at my daughter's preschool are able to paint their own faces, hence the face painting you'll see on the other little guests.

Come get your party on with me tomorrow at Gevalia Coffee's Bean Chat from 10-11am EST. That's right, I'm going to be hosting!!

If you see my blog posts or read my Facebook and Twitter posts, you know I'm a huge fan of creative cakes. I think if you're going to splurge on one item for your party in terms of money or time, a cake is a great way to go.

I've noticed some new cake trends (in addition to all the beautiful rainbow cakes and ruffle cakes) on our main site that I wanted to share. Take a look (and click on the photo to see what party it's from)...

Want something that feels playful and modern? Take a look at this complete collection of Thanksgiving printables designed by Holly from Mimi’s Dollhouse.

The collection includes: an invitation, party labels, drink flags, water bottle labels, "I'm thankful for" cards, tented cards, a "Happy Thanksgiving" banner, and a kids' activity/coloring sheet.

It's not even Christmas and I'm already giving away these stunning "striped" New Year's printables designed by Holly from Mimi’s Dollhouse. What's great about this set is they can work for a New Year's Eve party or a New Year's Day party, and how fun are the New Year's resolution cards you can pass out to your guests.

The collection includes a whole slew of items: party circles (2" and 4"), a "Happy New Year" banner, cupcake wrappers, favor tags, fill in invitation, menu card, New Year's resolution cards (my favorite!), straw flags, tented cards, and wine/champagne bottle labels.
