{Featured Clients} Demi's Vintage Carnival 1st Birthday Party

Demi turns 1!

Our client Shannon sent us these pictures from her daughter Demi's first birthday party. Shannon worked with us to customize our Vintage Carnival Birthday invitation and printables.

Event planning is second nature for Shannon. She and partner Stephanie run Rendezvous Event Gathering Place in Houston, TX. Just wait until you see this amazing party!

The spectacular cake created by Sweets To Dream On (the owner was part of the winning team on an episode of TLC's "Ultimate Cake Off" competition), and Demi's tutu (by FairyWonderful) were both designed with the invitation in mind.

Shannon said, "The birthday girl was so excited! Even at the age of 1, she couldn't contain herself as you can see by the expression on her face!"

What a cake by Sweets To Dream On!

Guests were treated to a magnificent table of sweets.

The tutu, by FairyWonderful, is, well...wonderful!

The guests got a chance to "horse" around

Shannon was smart to have plenty of water on hand for the thirsty crew

Thank you so much Shannon for sharing with us pictures of Demi's special day!

{Featured Parties} A Whimsical Carnival Party

I LOVE to share client parties and THIS one is one that really excited me!

Do you remember the precious carnival party that we recently shared from Jennifer Medina and Joanna Garcia, of the Houston based event styling company, Petit Delights?

Well, we were so excited to see another set of photographs from another jaw dropping carnival party that Jennifer recently coordinated (and Joanna photographed!).

They sent out an Anders Ruff customized "Clowning Around" invitation to invite friends and family to Aris' carnival birthday party.

Guests were greeted by a festive balloon archway and stilt walker, Roly.

Check out the amazing balloon clowns that lined the entrance as well.

Hello, beautiful day! The bouncy house is SO cute - perfect for the carnival.

Doesn't this look like a REAL Carnival?

Beautiful centerpieces styled by Petit Delights...

Now, one of the focal points - the sweetest dessert table!

Aren't the balloons stunning!? There are balloons used in this that I've never even seen! The twists and swirls and sparkles and letter balloons! LOVE THEM!

Now, onto the treat detail...

Perfect cake pops..PERFECT!

I love how they used our printable party logos on the sticks! Creative! See, there are SO many uses for party logos beyond your standard cupcake topper, favor tag, etc.

Another shot at the beautiful dessert table. I just want to JUMP into the photograph (and eat some treats as well ;-))

What's a carnival without whirly pops!?

I love the use of classic red/white wrapping paper for their displays...

These cookies are little masterpieces themselves.... WOW.

Printable party labels accessorized the beautiful cookie display...

Aren't those Big Top cookies amazing!?

Now, this photo is going to blow your socks off... This is quite possibly the most perfect carnival cake!!

Cool down with a bottled water - a stylish one to coordinate, that is.

They used our printable drink wraps to spruce up their water bottles....

The gift table...styled with a printable pennant banner....

More and more entertainment everywhere you go!

Balloon Art! Clown face painter and cotton candy machines... nostalgia.

Check out Roly - he entertained further with his unicycle and juggling acts...

Beautiful party! This was was really over "the big top", if you know what I mean! Another amazing job, Petit Delights!

{Featured Clients} Mia's Birthday Celebration - A Carnival to Remember!

Jennifer Medina of Petit Delights sent me photos from a party that she was hired to plan and
I am very excited to feature this party on our blog today.

Carnival parties are SO much fun. What is not to love?

Candy, popcorn, clowns, rides, more candy... bright colors!

Jennifer came to us and liked our Vintage Clowning Around printable package, but needed the colors changed to the palette of the party. Well, the whole thing turned out adorable and we now offer the package in the shop (cotton candy colorway)

It is so great to see the final product of a super fantastic party. Jennifer and the Petit Delights team did a wonderful job of coordinating a LOT of details.

We have a lot of eye candy to share as well as info from Jennifer on the planning process.

In Jennifer's words:

"When we were first asked about helping with a carnival party, I didn't know we would be taking care of the entire production but I am sure glad our client trusted us with the details! We had so much fun coordinating every aspect of this party! Here are some of the details:

Inspiration: Our initial inspiration came from our first meeting with our client Tiffany. She wanted to have a carnival party for her daughter Mia but with a pink palette and coordinating colors. This was something really different and we thought it would be really fun! She wanted to include animals and lots of color!

Activities: Our client wanted a true carnival experience for her daughter and all of her guests so we coordinated to have a balloon artist, a face painter to draw on children's faces, cotton candy and popcorn machines, a mini-ferris wheel and a mini-carousel for the little ones, a pony for rides, a carousel-themed bouncy and lastly, a stilt walker! Yes, a stilt walker! It truly was a carnival to remember!

Thank you for sharing, Jennifer!

I can't believe the extent they went to in order to make this a real carnival.
WOW. I wish I were on the guest list ;-)
Beautiful, beautiful job!
