I'm loving the trend of Mad Scientist parties. They work for a boy or a girl, the experiments are cool (plus they're a built-in party activity), and they celebrate the geek in all of us.

Leanne A throws some of the most beautiful parties! Her latest one, Jade's 13th Birthday Party, had such a gorgeous dessert table backdrop, that when I saw on Leanne's blog, Mrs. A in the Cove, that she was putting together a tutorial, I asked if I could repost it. She so kindly said yes, so here it is...

I'm always drawn to unusual invitations. I think they set a really interesting tone for the whole party. Here's some of my favorites from our main site. See what you think...

Abbey H's The Big 3 Birthday Party

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.

I spotted these adorable balloon topiaries at Emily W's Audrey's Art Birthday Party and had to know how she made them. She kindly put this tutorial together, so a big thank you to you, Emily!

I saw the How Does She tutorial for a balloon wreath. It was adorable and figured it would be the perfect addition to my bright, art party decor. I made the wreath then started planning out the rest of the decor and realized I didn't have anywhere to hang it. I loved the balloons and wanted to use them, so I came up with making them in a topiary to use on each end of the food table. Here is how you make it:

Rainbow themed parties are some of my favorites because of all the decor possibilities.  When Wendy B threw her daughter this Rainbow Party, she added so many great touches, including this gorgeous rainbow wreath.
