I absolutely fell in love with this Pretty Purple Party that Kristen from Capturing Joy with Kristen Duke Photography created for her daughter who was turning 4 and LOVES purple. It’s so darling! You have to visit Kristen’s blog to see all of the amazing purple elements, DIY projects and pictures! Kristen is even wearing a bright purple wig for the party – it’s awesome!!

In just 2 days, I’m heading to New York with Rebekah to see all the beautiful paper products and other goodies at The National Stationery Show & I can’t wait!!

{BN Black Book of Parties} You Are My Sunshine Party

2013

2 Comments

I absolutely love this theme and the fun, bright yellow and pink colors that were used to create this darling 1st birthday party designed by Tammy from Meghily’s – Party In Style. The party theme was centered around the popular song “You Are My Sunshine” and is absolutely perfect to celebrate your child’s 1st birthday and essentially how you feel about that sweet child.

Some of my favorite party details include:

The large art print used in the backdrop
Clever banner across the front of the table including the words to the song
Darling fabric banner on the high chair
Sweet as can be party hat for the birthday girl

Fabulous cake that coordinated perfectly!

Beautiful gerber daisies and a fun fabric tassel.

Fun sunshine cookies for guests to enjoy as favors.

Thanks so much Tammy for letting us share your darling party with our readers! Tammy also created the fabulous “Favorite Things” party we featured last year here on A Blissful Nest.

{BN Black Book of Parties} – Rainbow Jelly Bean Party

2013

Hello A Blissful Nest readers, it’s Holly from Paisley Petal Events and I’m back with a bright and colorful party to share with you today! Last week I attended the creative blogging conference SNAP! and was able to meet the darling and amazing Mindy from Creative Juices. She has a fun blog with tons of fabulous ideas to “get your creative juices flowing” – love that!

Mindy lives near the Jelly Belly factory in California and is one of their family’s favorite places to visit – which became the inspiration for her daughter’s 4th birthday party.

I love the simple white cake embellished with jelly beans and rainbow stripes – fabulous!

It’s always nice to include some healthy snacks on your party table and these rainbow colored cups filled with coordinating fruit are perfect for the little ones.

Mindy created a jelly bean bar filled with a rainbow of jelly beans for the kids to choose from, complete with matching wooden spoons.

One of the fun activities at the party included a jelly bean art project – the kids could choose different colored jelly beans to create a cardboard nameplate to take home.

One of the party favors included these darling little rainbow colored bags filled with a toy for the kids to take home and enjoy.

Thanks so much Mindy for letting us share your wonderful Rainbow Jelly Bean party with our readers! For more pics and creative details of the party, visit Mindy’s blog, Creative Juices.

As a side note, Mindy also has a book coming out in August called Gourmet French Macarons – pre-order it on Amazon today!

{BN Black Book of Parties} Vintage Tea Party Baby Shower

2013

4 Comments

We love a beautiful tea party and mixing and matching old tea sets with new ones. You may remember this one that had lots of vintage clothing for this kids to wear Today’s featured party is a pretty Vintage Tea Party Baby Shower submitted to us by Flavia from Fête à Fête. A dear friend was going to be visiting from Canada, and Flavia decided it was the perfect opportunity to throw her a baby shower with a shabby chic afternoon tea party theme, including an entirely gluten-free menu.

Flavia re-purposed a lot of items she already had to serve as decorations and serving pieces. What she did buy came from thrift stores and flea markets.

She asked that guests come “in a vintage mood – and outfit.” and offered the ladies accessories such as gloves, tiaras, fascinators, pearls, feather boas, shawls and lace hand fans.

As party favors, she made chocolate-covered spoons and put them inside delicate organza drawstring bags with a note that read “Stir your hot milk with this chocolate spoon for a real treat!”

As Flavia says, “It was a lovely and fun afternoon and a sweet way to show my friend how much we all love her and how happy we are with her family addition”

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely Vintage Tea Party with our readers, Flavia!
