It’s a flowery lilac anniversary~

First of all I would like to give a shout out to David and Diana. Have the Happiest 25th Anniversary! Hope you love your Ice Cream Favors!

We just opened our Etsy store so we have been anticipating the moment of getting a sale. We’ve been working really hard on various projects and trying to spread the word about what we are all about. This whole “getting your name out there” has been quite a process. I get so excited when I see the result of our hard work when we get likes and favorites. I’m like a little kid in a candy store, in aw that people actually like my work and found me somehow.

This past weekend I was on a mini vacation and I got a notification from a potential customer. So exciting! The customer was so nice and really liked our Sugar and Spice tags and wanted to customize them for her parents 25th anniversary party. After answering all her questions and concerns she decided to go with us and bought our custom designed tags. It was soooooo nice and awesome to get that notification of our first sale. We just designed these Custom Ice Cream favor tags for their Anniversary party! They wanted it lilac, white and cream, using florals and customized with different ice cream flavors. Above is what we came up with for their special event.

Setting the mood

Canva Mint, Pink, and Gold Moodboard — Canva Mint, Pink, and Gold Mood board

Every party should start off with a mood board for inspiration with colors and things you would like to try to see incorporated! This helps us as designers to come up with a cohesive look for the printable and decor. Pinterest is always a good place to start! It’s our go to for ideas and inspirations. We love it! follow us on our Pinterest to see what were interested in.

I was surfing through the web for color pallets and inspirations and discovered this company called Canva! I saw that they create mood boards for you. It’s pretty awesome.

So my next project is planning a 10-year-old girls birthday party. Her favorite colors are mint, pink and gold. So we decided that will be the theme throughout. We will incorporate those colors to keep the party looking cohesive. So the first step was to pin things we liked and create a mood board. Above is what we came up with. Were thinking a macron cake, a mint, pink and gold balloon garland and other printable to match. The party is going to be held at Mint Studio in Carmel Valley so the girls will be doing a craft of some sort. We were thinking of having all the girls paint a blank canvas book with watercolors to create a smashbook. With this in mind we are incorporating the watercolor look throughout as well. Let’s see what we come up with!

SuperHero Party!

The superhero training camp party was in full swing, with kids dressed up as their favorite comic book characters, playing games and having a blast. I carefully planned this to try and make it an unforgettable event. The DIY Gotham City backdrop was the perfect backdrop for photos, and the handmade fondant superhero cookie toppers were a hit with the kids.

But one of the games stood out as a real crowd-pleaser: the “diffused Bomb Game.” It was a simple yet fun game that involved filling black balloons with small toys and candy, then letting the kids go wild trying to pop as many balloons as they could.

The rules were simple: there were no rules. The kids were free to go in and try to pop as many balloons as they could, with the promise of keeping the prizes inside. The game was like a pinata, but without the need for hanging anything and without the risk of young children swinging bats around.

The kids were excited as they saw the balloons laid out on the floor, waiting to be popped. They eagerly grabbed the balloons and started stomping on them, trying to find the prizes inside. Some kids were jumping up and down, trying to pop the balloons with their hands, while others were rolling over them.

As the game continued, the room filled with the sounds of laughter and popping balloons. The parents couldn’t help but chuckle as they watched their little superheroes go wild, trying to collect as many prizes as they could.

In the end, every child had a smile on their face, and the parents were impressed with the simplicity and fun of the “diffused Bomb Game.” It was a great addition to the superhero training camp party, and everyone left feeling like they had a blast.

It was a success creating a memorable and entertaining party for all of the young superheroes in attendance, and the “diffused Bomb Game” had played a key role in making that happen.

To achieve the look for this party! I printed these banners, and paper goods from our etsy shop and decorated everything with it. It’s definitely an inexpensive effective way to make your party look like a superhero’s training camp. Check out the whole party kit below!
