Blow your guest’s mind with these amazing balloon invitations.
There are several ways to do this. You can have them printed as seen here.
Or handwrite on the balloon.
Either way, your guests will be blown away with your creativity.

You can set the mood for your big event months in advance with a save the date. The save the date not only announces your plans and helps guest make arrangements for attending, but will get them excited for months to come as they envision your day from the truly unique peice of paper they have recieved. The invitation coordinates with the vintage circus feel and who wouldn’t want to be under the big top for this grand event?
Here is one of my favorites wedding suites from Southern Fried Paper.
These beautiful invitations set the mood for this Sip-n-See perfectly. The colors and luxe feel set the tone and are unique. The invite is slid inside one of the popular glassine bags and tied with twine and a charm. Confetti slips out as you receive the invite from the bag.
What a wonderful way to start the party! I love these colors and this invitation makes me really happy.

When this client contacted me for a pool party for her daughter, I was eager to begin the party planning. They knew just what they wanted from the colors to the cake. We started with this fun balloon invite that was delivered in a tube filled with confetti. The guests had to inflate the balloon to read the invite. So fun!

A candy bar welcomed Laura’s friends. Color coordinated candies were readily available for their sweet tooth.
Our dessert table was spread with an adorable cake, cupcakes, beach ball cake pops and cookies.
A photo booth was tons of fun!
The kids had a blast just being together in the pool. Snow Cones, daiquiris and fresh made popcorn filled tummies until the Food Truck arrived with our dinner.
As the sun set the DJ’s music got louder and the kids danced the night away under the lights.
Glow in the dark cotton candy was a sweet snack on the dance floor!

Favors were handed out at the end of the night. Cabana stripe towels with a custom water bottle lit with a neon bracelet.
It was great fun planning this party for Laura. Many thanks to all who helped make this party a huge success!

When I saw this party inspiration showcasing their fun zigzag summertime invitation by Polka Dot Design it made me giddy. I love a party as we all know and these colors make me so happy. The combination of all these pretty party goodies is super adorable and I just had to share.

So I was on a wild hunt these past few days for circle dot confetti.
I wanted it for a party I am coordinating. I love confetti and wanted it to resemble fish bubbles inside of an invitation I was designing with Harper Gray.
Then I thought, Ok I can just make this, but after my 2″ punch eating uphalf of my tissue paper, I was like, no I can’t.
So, in case you ever are in the need of circle dot confetti, here is your link.
perfect and beautiful for that happy couple’s get away, around aIf cake stand or adding to that perfectly cute invite.
Also available is this hand cut confetti from
Either way it’s fun and festive, just toss it!
When I saw this shoot on
I instantly fell in love.
Good thing these two people fell in love too, so that their friends could shower the bride with a beautiful Neon Inspired Bridal shower.
The shower titled, Make Her Heart Glow can be seen here.
I love the details and the colors make my heart glow.
I love the way the popcorn is displayed!
Who doesn’t love the neon color trend?
Keeping it stylish, this is a great on trend way to celebrate!
Long before I heard it from Martha, the importance of sending a hand written thank you note was instilled in me by my parents, especially my Dad. He was forever encouraging us to send a hand written note of thanks anytime anyone did anything thoughtful…and by encouraging, I mean insisting.
I know who to thank, what to thank them for, why to say thank you and how to write a thank you note…I am having trouble with the WHEN to write a note and I need your help.
I am fresh off of a fabulous celebratory train party for my three year old son, styled by Oh Goodie Designs (pictures coming soon!) and I JUST mailed my thanks you notes yesterday…8 days after the party. I am embarrassed to admit this and horrified to see it in black and white. I used to follow the 24 hour rule and I’m not sure what happened…besides adding my young sons into the mix. But I don’t want to make excuses, I want your help.
What is your method in sending out timely thank you notes? I would love to hear your system, your encouragement, even your lectures. I have no excuses- I have the stationary, the stamps, the list of gifts and the addresses. I really do WANT to thank my friends and Family for making Tommy feel so special. The only thing I can think of is that it takes me a day or two to “come down” after a party…but I don’t think Martha would say that and I’m SURE she would not thank me for saying that.
Thanks for reading!
