Wanessa from WCC Designs is back with this boy-themed photo backdrop DIY. Take a look at how cool it is!

The idea behind these photo backdrops was to bring some element of skate parks to my big boy's skateboard party. The inspiration was the wired fences you see at skate parks, and I used it to hang pictures of his past birthdays. This photo backdrops got lots of attention at the party!

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!

A trend we're seeing on our site is Curious George parties. What's great about these parties is they classic in feel, plus, it's easy to incorporate both store-bought and personalized items in your party. Here are some of my favorites...

Christopher's 1st Birthday - This is one of the most incredible Curious George dessert tables I've seen and that cake sets the tone for the whole party, plus, I love the bright, festive colors!

If you read my Facebook page you know I'm always showing off circle fan rosette backdrops. What I love about them is they're easy to make (you just fold paper like a fan and pinch in the middle, then attach a couple fans together) and they add dimension to a wall or dessert table. Here are some of my favorite circle fan rosettes from our site.

I am not a sewer. So when I see great DIYs that involve fabric but no sewing I'm always excited. This DIY comes from Laurel at A Bubbly Life and it is brilliant, a no sew ruffle tablecloth that cost less than $10 to make. Show me how, Laurel!!

When planning my daughter's 1st birthday, I began looking for the trendy ruffled tablecloths that look so stunningly cute on tables. However, I was unprepared for the cost, typically over $100. I was not willing to spend that on a tablecloth, and without any sewing abilities whatsoever, I let the idea stay a dream.
