Nothing screams spring more than this popping color combo led by bright pink! It’s earthy, organic, and full of zest. Pink packs a posh punch and is making its way onto stationery of all types because it is so versatile. Cool steel gray, soft green, and ever-so-slight pink tone down this hot palette, keeping it from being too over the top. It’s a surprisingly versatile combo with a modern, playful vibe—guests will no doubt be tickled pink surrounded in a spring day painted in this palette. These designs can be personalized for your special occasion and would be perfect for your baby shower, birthday party and many more special occasions.

The woodland baby shower theme is a wonderful option for those looking for baby shower ideas that are not over the top with color - and have more of a rustic, natural look.

Parents can't get enough of the woodland trend for just about everything, including baby showers, nurseries, and first birthday parties. It’s cute, it’s neutral, and it’s so easy to set up. There is also so much you can do in terms of decor!  It's easy to pull off the woodland theme and make it stand out, with endless clever ways to bring the outdoors in. From wood slab accents and pops of arrows or flannel to the sweetest cakes any creature has ever seen. Plus, if mom-to-be is planning her baby's room around this adorable vibe, these ideas and accents can be repurposed as nursery decor for an even more sentimental feel. Just think of how perfect that rustic teepee would work both for the party decor and as a gift for baby to enjoy for years to come. 

The first thing you’ll want to do is create an inviting space for the guests and little woodland creatures! For a quick way to dress up tables, use animal track rubber stamps on kraft paper for easy and impressive tablecloths. Create a pretty pinecone garland to drape on the sides of tables to make guests feel like they’re in the middle of a forest. Take some extra pinecones and dip them in paint that match your theme’s colors and place in mason jars for another quick decoration that makes a beautiful table centerpiece.

Of course, don’t forget about the cake! The cake will be the centerpiece of the food table and there are so many options to go with a woodland themed shower.  Nothing beats the minimal look of a woodland-themed baby shower cake! After frosting, you can top the cake with cute little forest creatures and rosemary greenery, or you can add cute woodland cake toppers.

Round out the food table with other hearty snacks and food that guests can nibble away at, with treats like hedgehog cheese balls, pinwheels or mini sandwiches topped off with cute little forest trees, or “mushroom pops” that are almost too cute to eat! Just stick a paper straw in the top of a cleaned strawberry and display upside down for yummy “mushrooms” the guests will love! Another quick addition to the food table is a big bowl full of trail mix. Guests can scoop out this treat in little cups or mini bowls and snack away. To keep with the rustic vibes you could even set up a chili bar. And for guests to take home don’t forget the s’mores!

The key to creating a beautiful and memorable woodland baby shower is to model what already works. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. The woodland baby shower theme is extremely popular, so there is a lot of inspiration for you to draw from. Pick the ideas that truly speak to you, and model them.

Custom Stationery is a Must Have!

A springtime design painted in a palette of delicate blue and clover green is super fresh and emanates the new life that spring brings. Spring blue is refreshing, contemporary, and totally unique. Infusing beautiful gold and crisp white livens up this cool palette and takes it a bit more of a modern direction. There’s no doubt we’re dreaming of freshly cut green grass, blue sunny skies, and cotton clouds drifting by with this eye-catching and earthy spring color scheme.

Custom note cards are a sure way to add a personal touch to all your correspondence. Coordinate your note card stationery with a personal seal or a custom envelope for a uniform and more professional look. Whether you are sending a message to say thank you or a simple hello, these cards are convenient for quick, personal notes. A simple note will reflect positively on you and keep you at the forefront of their minds. Handwrite and mail a thank you note and include a special offer for your clientele. You'll be sure to see more return customers than ever before. Personalize with your name, monogram, or other text for a custom design.

Several years ago, the New York Times posted an article called Stationery Speaks Louder than Words. It revolved around the idea that a person’s selection of stationery says a great deal about their personality and message. In the article, Peggy Post offered an important opinion on the use of personalized stationery. She said:

‘’Fine stationery is really special. It makes a nicer presentation, and it says, ‘This is important, and I care enough to send you something really special.”

Nothing says you’re professional quite like business stationery. Whether you just started out or have been in business for many years, when you see your logo or name on custom stationery, it really feels like you made it. It also adds a level of legitimacy when handing out stationery gifts to customers and prospects—they’ll see you took the time and thought to make something one-of-a-kind.

Essential Custom Stationery Items

Post-It Notes: Design custom sticky notes with your business logo for a professional look. Post-It notes are perfect for handing out to your employees to use at their desk. Handing pads of sticky notes out to passerby at trade shows and events is also incredibly easy.

Notebooks: Notebooks have a long shelf life due to the number of pages each one has. They also have a large surface area, which means you can include not only your logo design, but also your website, business address, and phone number without the space looking too cluttered.

Folders: For any business that needs to hang out more than one piece of paper to a customer or client, a custom folder should be on your list of personalized stationery. Lawyers, doctors and dentists, realtors, sales agents, banks, moving companies and home improvement contractors can all benefit from custom folders.

Postcards: Custom postcards are the perfect print marketing material; they’re durable, affordable, and large enough to include an extensive amount of information.

Letterhead: Separate yourself from the rest of the competition with custom business letterheads.

Envelopes: Customized envelopes go hand-in-hand for companies that are already looking to order business letterheads. Personalized envelopes have a short lifespan, but they allow your company to come off as more professional and trustworthy. Unmarked envelopes are often viewed by consumers as spam or unimportant.

Many marketing budgets might not think to include custom stationery, but this crucial marketing item is one simple way to show your business’s professionalism and help your brand stand out.

Long Live Snail Mail

You’re getting ready to send out a bunch of letters, mailers, or invitations and you don’t want to spend the time (and energy) writing out the return address on each and every one of them. What do you do? You get yourself some labels from us, of course! Why give yourself hand cramps when you can comfortably adhere our labels to your envelopes and take all the time you’ve saved to do something else, like relax. We have thousands of great designs to help spice up your labels. All you have to do is change out the address and you're set. Whether they're for your company or for personal use, our labels will give distinction to your mail. You can even use our labels for marking food, books and school supplies!

With each passing day, it becomes a little easier to become detached from the people we care about. Work is crazy, the kids won’t give you a break, you got a new phone and lost all your contacts. Whatever the reason may be, now is the time to stop making excuses and reach out. Sometimes an email, text message, Facebook post or tweet just doesn’t cut it. Fortunately, the lost art of establishing a real human connection isn’t dead yet. Put it on paper. It doesn’t take much effort to send someone a card. 

Cards are just one way to keep in touch as well as to express emotions such as love, congratulations, condolences and gratitude. Although we live in a world run by digital communication, a card sent through postal mail can mean a lot to both the sender and the recipient.

Opening a letter will always be better than opening an email. Don’t you love when you go to the mailbox and see a pretty envelope with your name on it from someone you love rather than just the usual stack of bills and overly obnoxious fliers? If you take ten minutes out of your day to sit down and write a simple letter, you could be the reason that someone smiles today. So here's to slowing down a bit, sharing smiles with others, and bringing back the art of snail mail!

Some Bunny | Easter Birthday

We love this 1st birthday inspired by all things bunnies + spring! This invitation is perfect for any baby that is looking to celebrate, we especially love the greenery, and little bunny sketch! The best part bunnies can be in season all year round!…

We love this 1st birthday inspired by all things bunnies + spring! This invitation is perfect for any baby that is looking to celebrate, we especially love the greenery, and little bunny sketch! The best part bunnies can be in season all year round! But this party would be ideal in spring or summer! 

Easter birthdays can be so sweet, complete with egg hunts, egg decorating stations, and sweet candy treats! With its bright colors, adorable decor and kid-friendly motifs, Easter is an ideal holiday to use as inspiration for a wonderful birthday party.  To set the scene for the celebration, choose a location right in your home that you can easily decorate and can “contain” all the festivities! A corner of your backyard or garden, your porch or patio would be just the thing. Dress it up with pretty bunting, potted flowers, and pastel-colored paper lanterns. 

Decor: All pastels would be a great color scheme for balloons, streamers, and tableware. Chocolate eggs would be fun as confetti all over the party table. For a centerpiece, have a bunch of fresh spring flowers or a stuffed bunny rabbit with a few Mylar bunny balloons attached. You can place “Bunny Trail” signs outside of the front entrance, leading to your door.

Activities: First things first, let’s decorate some eggs! Spread a cute Easter themed table cover over your table, a personalized activity sheet at each spot and egg decorating supplies within reach. Tip: if you’re too scared to try the real deal eggs with your tots, consider the new fake dyeable styles that are out in the market! If it’s a boy’s birthday party, why not give all the boys a bunny mask they can colour in and wear for the day. 

Consider having any of the following activities to keep guests entertained:

1. Easter egg decorating or painting
2. Jewelry making
3. Easter cupcake decorating
4. Easter cookie decorating
5. Easter egg hunt

As prizes for the activities, you can choose to set up a gift table of keepsake egg boxes.

Before guests arrive, hide some plastic Easter eggs outside: Fill lots of plastic eggs with candies, coins, and small toys. For extra fun, you could also hide a one dollar bill in one of the eggs. Hide them throughout the party area, preferably outdoors, and have either baskets or pastel-colored buckets available for collecting the eggs. You could have the kids make a bunny basket for collecting as well. Then pair up for the ultimate egg spoon race to see who can get from point A to point B the quickest will carrying an egg. Once back inside, grab some Easter photo props and get some photos of your cuties in their Sunday spring attire making funny carrot eating bunny faces!

Food: Make small sandwiches cut into ducks, rabbits, sheep, and Easter egg shapes to keep it festive. Serve a veggie platter covered with carrots, celery, peppers, and Ranch dip, as well as deviled eggs, crackers with cheese cut into small shapes, and finger fruits served with a yogurt dip. For dessert make Easter Pudding Dirt Cups (a spin off from the worms in dirt dessert).

Favors: Fill mini Easter baskets with Easter stickers, pastel sidewalk chalk, tattoos, Easter themed activity or coloring book and crayons, bubbles, jelly beans and chocolate bunnies, bag of foil colored Easter eggs, or bunny ears.

Bright colors, cute party favors, and fun activities make Easter the perfect theme for a wonderful birthday party.

Let this cheerful picnic invitation give your Mother's Day Brunch the stylish entrance it deserves. The watercolor picnic scene, elegant fonts, and fun layout will capture your guest's attention. Start personalizing this beautiful party invitation for your Mother's Day party today.

You might not realize it, but Mother’s Day is just around the corner!  What do you buy her? Where should you take her? How do you tell her how much you love her? All the moms in your life, whether they be friends, sisters, cousins, grandparents or mother-in-laws, deserve to be showered in love, so show them just how much you appreciate all they do with an intimate afternoon filled with flowers, food, and a few laughs. Hosting a Mother’s Day brunch is a wonderful way to show all the mothers in your life how special they are.

To help prevent stress, the best hosts plan ahead. Get started by drafting these essential lists: guests, menus, and grocery items.  To ensure you’re pleasing everyone’s brunch cravings, combine sweet and savoury brunch staples, such as pancakes, scrambled eggs, and hash browns. Have an assortment of toppings for your pancakes, such as jam, maple syrup, and butter, and setting up everything buffet-style will ensure everyone is happy and gets what they want!  And don’t forget the mimosas!

For a stress-free Mother's Day brunch, keep it casual. Create a picnic feel by setting a low table and surrounding it with cushions. Think colorful tablecloths or blankets with simple patterned white plates, a mix of colored glasses, and fresh flowers. For some DIY inspiration, include handmade placemats, lacy paper plates, family photos, streamers, banners, and more.  Even the most minuscule details can make your Mom’s day, so don’t skip on the small stuff! Try incorporating sentimental pieces, like your great grandmother’s china or cutlery, into your tablescape (Mom WILL notice!!). A Mother’s Day brunch should certainly have an element of formality to it, so now is a great opportunity to break out those linens, fine china, and complementary colors. Little treasures, like potted succulents at each place setting, are pretty conversation starters.

Obviously, simply spending time together is great in and of itself. But when hosting a brunch, it’s nice to fill the time with a few planned activities. Crafting is a popular way to do that and get the whole family involved. If you’re honoring several moms at your brunch, you can play “guess who.” Have all the moms in attendance make a short list of things they did before they became a mom. Then scramble the lists and hand them out to all the kids in attendance and have them guess which list belongs to who. You can offer candy as prizes for those who get it right. Go around the table and ask guests to share a motherhood experience (whether it be a fond memory, a profound moment, or just a silly mishap) is a great way to share the love.

Be it a small brunch for two or for multiple loved ones, this is an opportunity to make memories. The important thing, when hosting, is to remember to have fun! Preparing in advance, adding a few special touches, and keeping it light will help set the tone for a joyful and stress-free ambiance. Enjoy coming together and celebrating motherhood!

Will you have a graduate this year? Have you started preparing for the graduation party? Planning a college or high school graduation party is no small task. From picking a date, planning a food menu, sending invitations, buying bulk party supplies and making sure you don’t forget any details, just thinking about it can be exhausting. While the party may still be weeks, or even months away, it’s never too early to start planning and gathering party ideas. Being organized from the very beginning will help make the whole process much less stressful. Here are some tips for planning and organizing the big day!

Set a date, time, and location for the party.

Wherever you decide to have your celebration, here are some things to think about:

Do you have seating for guests? Do you need to get tables or chairs? If you’re outside what will you do if the weather is bad? Do you need any signage to help people find the location?

Set a budget.

Decide how much you want to spend. Costs include invitations, a venue, food, decorations, gifts, thank you cards, postage, etc.

Make a guest list and order announcements.

Start with family. Then, add your child’s friends, those that had an impact or influence in their life, family friends, and church family. Think about neighbors, teachers, and leaders, too.

Count up those on your list and order your invites. Add a few extra in case you make a mistake or want to invite someone last minute. Don’t forget one to keep for memorabilia.

Plan the food.

The kind of food will depend on your budget. From ordering pizza and subs to making a big pot of spaghetti and meatballs, you can find ways to cut corners without making it look like you did. Your local grocery store may also have many ready-made food options that can help cut down on food prep time before the party. That way you can still get delicious food, but it may not cost as much as a full blown caterer.  Whatever you decide will be fine. People aren’t coming for the food. So stick to your budget and pick something your child likes and will remember. Make sure you can prepare the food ahead of time. You don’t want to be cooking while everyone is arriving to the party.

Plan out where the food is going to be served, what types of serving utensils you're going to need, how you're going to keep the food warm throughout the party, and where your guests are actually going to eat. Will you need a party tent set up in the backyard with tables and chairs or can you serve the food inside the house? Inclement weather may also play a role, so have a back up plan in case of rain or undesirable temperatures. 

Here is a list of graduation party supplies you might need for food and drink:

Aluminum Foil Sheets
Aluminum Foil Pans & Lids
Baking Supplies for Desserts
Beverage Dispensers
Beverage Tubs
Beverage Napkins
Bottle Openers
Buffet Stands & Risers
Catering Food Signs
Chafing Dishes / Fuel

Coffee & Tea Service
Coolers for Beverages 
Dessert / Appetizer Plates
Dinner Napkins
Disposable Cups
Disposable Cutlery
Disposable Plates
Doilies for Decoration
Food Storage Containers
Ice Buckets / Scoops 

Mini Catering Supplies
Picks for Appetizers & Desserts
Plastic Film Wrap 
Plastic Serving Trays
Plastic Table Covers
Professional Bar Tools
Serving Bowls
Serving Utensils 
Straws
Wire Racks

Decide on Decorations.

Now that you’ve covered the most important part (food) you can focus on the fun stuff, like the graduation party decorations!  Here are some ideas for graduation decorations & party supplies:

Balloons
Ceiling Decor
Colorful Table Decorations 
Confetti
Curling Ribbons

Graduation Card Boxes
Graduation Garlands
Graduation Table Centerpieces.
Graduation Trophy
Hanging Decorations

Paper Lanterns
Photo Display of Graduate
Sign & Banners
Streamers
Wall Decorations

Plan your help.

If you don’t have moms to help, ask your good friends or hire someone – maybe some high school or college girls. Be resourceful. You’ll be glad you did. Who will take pictures? Don’t forget to get pictures during the event. Who will refill food and drinks? Will anyone greet guests when they come in?

Plan fun.

Plan some activities. Even though people mostly talk with each other and drop in and out quickly, it is good to have something planned. For example photo booths are really fun and everyone loves taking pictures. Print out some quotes: #finallydone, #classof20XX, I DID IT!, mustaches, lips, etc). Print them extra big, and cut them out. Then tape them to sticks. Gather your fun accessories (hats, wigs, etc.) and have them ready for your guests to use.

Stock up on Cleaning Supplies.

If you are hosting the graduation party at your house, you’re going to need a lot of cleaning supplies. Whether you are hosting a few or a few hundred, you’ll probably want to start with a clean slate. Now may be a good time to stock up on professional cleaning supplies and all the disposables you’ll need. You don't want to be in the middle of the party and realize you've run out of toilet paper or paper towels. If you're anticipating a big mess at the end of the celebration, it may be best to find wholesale cleaning supplies now so you can keep the mess under control as the party goes on.

Sticking with all disposable dinnerware for your party? You may want to also pick up some extra garbage bags. Those paper plates, plastic cups and disposable forks will collect very quickly and fill trash can after trash can if you're having a bigger party. Having plenty of garbage cans placed around the party will make it easy for guests to clean up after themselves so there is less mess lying around afterwards. Check these products off your list for an easier post graduation party clean up:

All-Purpose Cleaner
Bathroom Cleaner
Cleaning Gloves
Dishwashing Soap
Disinfectant Wipes 

Floor Cleaner
Glass Cleaner
Hand Soap & Sanitizer
Mops & Buckets
Odor Control

Paper Towels
Scrub Brushes
Toilet Paper
Trash Bags
Trash Cans

Finally, enjoy every moment. 

Whether you are throwing a high school or college graduation party, it's a huge milestone that deserves to be celebrated.  Plan ahead. Take a deep breath right before it starts. And, don’t worry about what you forgot or what didn’t work out. Focus on the people.

Enjoy EVERY SINGLE MOMENT.

This is your baby…graduating!

Boho Botanical Citrus Orchard

You'll be pleasantly surprised how many opportunities you have to add a hint of citrus to your wedding day: From boutonnieres and centerpieces to favors and cake decorations, adding citrus can transform mundane details into something unexpected and exciting. And no matter what time of year you plan to tie the knot, using citrus as a wedding-day accent is an easy and fresh way to add bright pops of color to your wedding reception.

After a long colorless winter, we all yearn for warmth and color! Antique shades of green, bright tangerine orange, and rich yellow come together for this unexpectedly gorgeous, earthy spring color combo. A palette of steely mellow hues emits the refreshment of a rainy spring day… and the joy that arrives when the warm sun comes back out to shine. Just like the excitement that comes with spring, this stunning modern color palette breathes a breath of fresh air with its happy but mature hues. These designs can be personalized for your special occasion and would be perfect for your wedding, bridal shower, engagement party, birthday party and many more special occasions.

Whether lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit, the colors of the citrus rainbow are light and refreshing — a perfect palette for your wedding, provided by nature. We love how cheerful citrus colors are and can’t help but feel happy just glancing at them. From simple stacked fruit in clear hurricanes for centerpieces, to lemon place card holders, fresh limeade and an orange-adorned rustic cake, there are endless ways to brighten up your wedding celebration.

Decorate the venue with various types of citrus, and there are many cool ways to do that. For example, you can place some crates filled with foliage and citrus in the ceremony space. Line up the aisle with citrus, foliage and pillar candles for a fresh modern look, or attach some greenery and citrus to the aisle chairs. A lush greenery and citrus chandelier is sure to catch an eye wherever you hang it: over the ceremony space, over the reception or the dance floor.

Table decor can be also made super cool with an addition of citrus here and there. First of all, citrus are perfect to make some budget-friendly and cute centerpieces, and all you need to do is to place some of them into a bowl or box of your choice and add blooms and greenery. Create chic table runners of foliage and citrus, they may be very lavish or just simple and refreshing. One more idea is marking each place setting with some citrus.

What is a tropical or summer wedding without refreshing drinks? Adding citrus slices to them will make them even fresher. Rock a naked wedding cake topped with citrus and greenery. The possibilities are endless.

Whether you’re planning a tropical wedding, a seaside or a beach one, or just want to find some fun summer wedding theme, pick citrus!

Mexican Fiesta Taco Party

Tired of serving the same cupcakes, cookies, and pinwheels for your parties? Try throwing a fiesta themed party and serve tacos instead! Such a festive and fun way to throw a party. Besides, who doesn’t love tacos?! This party theme works for any age and is also perfect for your Cinco de Mayo party.

Are you hosting a fun Cinco de Mayo party or having some friends over for a fabulous Tex-Mex feast?  Setting up the ultimate taco bar is as simple as putting together your favorite ingredients.  Delicious tacos require a variety of options and toppings and a great taco bar is no exception. Make a huge crockpot of taco meat, then serve it with tortilla chips, queso, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, green onions, grated cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and cilantro. Sliced watermelon goes with it perfectly, and fill a glass dispenser with lemon water.

Every taco starts with either a soft or crispy tortilla.  Offer your guests a variety of corn or flour tortillas, as well as crispy taco shells, placed at the beginning of your taco bar or buffet.  Make sure you have tongs to ensure easy serving. Place the tortillas and shells in a pan or baking dish and keep warm in the oven. Wait until just before it’s time to eat, then remove them from the oven and set them out to ensure warm, delicious tacos.

Right next to the tortillas and shells, you’ll want to place the meat and cheese.  The most common taco meat is seasoned ground beef; however, feel free to go with seasoned chicken, grilled steak or a variety of all three. 

As for the cheese, go with a shredded Mexican blend that includes cheddar, Monterrey jack and/or pepper jack.  Queso fresco is also a great addition!

When it comes to salsa, more is always better!  Offer your guests a couple options like salsa verde or a chunky pico de gallo.  It’s also a good idea to offer salsas that are mild and then another with more heat for a bit of variety.

Next, be sure to place additional toppings like sour cream, guacamole and lettuce on your taco bar as well. Some like it hot!  For all those spicy fans out there, offer up some sliced jalapeños along with a variety of hot sauces to top off the tacos.

The best part of setting up a taco bar is that your guests can serve themselves anytime they like.  This also frees up you, the host, to spend time with your friends and enjoy a few tacos yourself!

Spring Ladybug Baby Shower

Talk about pretty! We can’t help but think of yummy sorbet with this juicy color palette! Coral peach, cherry reds, orangey yellow, and light blue come together in beautiful harmony to set a lighthearted, happy mood for any spring event. Planning a baby shower for a baby girl? A ladybug baby shower is a great shower theme for the mom-to-be who knows she's having a baby girl, especially in the spring and summer months. These designs are so sweet and would be perfect for your baby shower, birthday party, nursery decor and many more special occasions.

Who is ready for spring? There is no time like the present to start planning that spring baby shower! Planning a baby shower for a baby girl? A ladybug baby shower is a great shower theme for the mom-to-be who knows she's having a baby girl, especially in the spring and summer months. Hip-hip-hooray, there’s a little lady on the way! If it’s spring or summer time you can also tie in the garden theme with it. Mommies who are into gardening or using this theme for their baby’s nursery will especially love this theme. 

Not only will you have no problems with the setting—this theme can be perfectly executed as an outdoor lunch-out with close friends and family. Obviously, you can still use this theme even if it’s not summer as many nursery themes are based on a ladybug theme and would be used all year round. Either way, this theme would be perfect as a memorable celebration for welcoming a baby girl into the new family.

When it comes to your baby shower menu, try to stick with the ladybug theme, so the colors of the food will not clash with your color scheme. For instance, you can have red punch or juice so the pitchers will have a nice central color.

As for the snacks, try going with food that have fruits like strawberries, watermelon, berries, and apples. Match the healthy menu with desserts like chocolate pieces or mocha cakes, so it will give a woody atmosphere because of the brown color. This shower idea works great for a BBQ full of hamburgers, salads and all the fun fixin's too! This spot-abulous theme will brighten up any baby shower or birthday party!

Galentine's Day is something you should have marked on your calendar. Basically, it's like Valentine's Day, only instead of celebrating the love you have for your significant other, you spend it with your best girlfriends, who are, after all, your soul mates, and therefore deserve a holiday all to themselves, too.

Hey ladies, whether you're single and drinking alone, or awaiting a hot date, there's no denying that an established Girls' Night Out will be more fun than any couple's massage could ever be. Galentine's is meant to celebrate the friendship between girlfriends; a day that's not about who's in a relationship or not, but for a group of women to celebrate each other.  So, mark your calendars, gather the girls, Galentine's Day occurs every year on February 13th, the night before the "big" event, and calls for the wining and dining of your best girlfriends - no boyfriends or husbands allowed.

An authentic Galentine’s Day party takes place over brunch.

Bring your gal pals together to celebrate each other, give each other homemade gifts and load up on waffles. Discussion topics include romantic relationships, past hookups, and historical events that happened on the day you were born. Celebrate friendship, girl power and all the wonders of being a woman this Galentine’s Day. Enjoy brunch, drinks, shopping or whatever makes you feel happiest while spending time with your gal pals.

At the end of the day, the most important thing to do is have fun. The day is for you and your friends, and the perfect brunch is one next to them. Have a conversation, get up to date with each other, make plans for another day and laugh with them. It’s time to celebrate each other and have a good time between gals because no matter if you end burning the eggs, they will be next to you and that's the important thing.

Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day!

Lephrecaun.jpg

Let’s have a wee bit-o-fun! St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect time to throw a party! Whether you’re Irish or not, this early-spring holiday comes with endless opportunities for anyone who loves a good theme.

Leprechauns! A St. Patrick’s Day party wouldn’t feel complete without some reference to these wee, wizened men. Our “Wee Bit O Fun” Collection is packed with designs full of lucky charms. Speaking of leprechauns - one of the newest crazes for kids around St. Patrick's Day is to make a Leprechaun Trap. Make sure they have something to put inside the box to lure the leprechaun to the trap, such as gold glitter or snacks. Have the kids set their newly decorated traps out before they go to sleep and let them awake to a heap of chocolate “gold” coins in the morning.   

Another fun activity to consider is a treasure hunt! Kids love treasure hunts. Have them hunt for gold chocolate coins! If you’re short on your gold coins stash (perhaps because your little rascal of leprechaun already found them), go with little tubes filled with Skittles. They’ll love to taste the rainbow!

And if you are feeling up to going the extra step with a homemade birthday cake consider this Chocolate Guinness Cake. It’s dense and rich, and a hit with guests of any age.

There are tons of fabulous St. Patrick's Day party ideas once you really start thinking about it. If you incorporate just a few into your party, you'll be able to create a festive atmosphere that is fun and enjoyable for everyone! All it takes is some fun crafts and a crockpot full of Irish Coffee for the Mamas!

And of course don’t forget the INVITES!
