Hollywood Theme Bridal Shower

Check out the pictures from the Hollywood Bridal Shower that I had the pleasure of decorating a couple of weeks ago. The Bride-to-be could have not been more perfect for this theme. 

She is vibrant, sassy and fun!

It all started with this invitation that I created. It set the stage for a Hollywood Bash!

It felt only fitting that we needed popcorn to enjoy the show, so I created a popcorn and cupcake bar. We had three different types of popcorn bought from BJ's. It was a good amount for 40 people and everyone really enjoyed it. The cupcakes were custom Hollywood Cupcakes from CAKEXXI by Raquel.

The Large Hollywood Vinyl Star was bought from Shindigz. It was huge!  I cut it down in size in order to fit my backdrop board. The black and white table cloth was actually fabric that can be found at Ikea by the yard.   

I got the gold letter balloons from Balloon Fast. Believe me when I say, they were fast. The 16" balloons were a great alternative to getting the jumbo 36" balloons and at a fraction of the cost.  

They Wishing Tree I already had in my storage. But you can purchase one at efavormart.

I spray painted an old dress form that I had gold and also spray painted the Ikea picture frames. 

The centerpieces were made up of several different items.

 The foam comedy and tragedy mask were bought from Awesome Events. They came white.  I just spray painted them and added glitter and sealed them with Modge Podge Sealer. You can buy these in different sizes or already finished with glitter if you are not up for a craft. 

The gold film reel was also bought at Awesome Events. You can also purchase this in a variety of colors. 

The Clapboard was purchased at Shindiz. The film strip placed around the box was purchased on Amazon. I just added a couple of selflies of the Bride-to-be. 

The Red Carpet Personalized Standee! This was really fun. This was purchased at Shindigz.

As you can see, the Bride-to-be had a wonderful time and was all smiles. It wouldn't have been a red carpet event without her walking the red carpet. 

Red Carpet was rented from ABC Rental

Egyptian Invitations

I typically only do invitations for parties that I am the planner. I get request to do invitations all the time and occasionally I bite. This recent invitation, I could not resist. I finally got a chance to do an egyptian theme invitation! I love the way they turned out. Even better, I got to utilize some of my new Etsy favorites. 

The gold background digital paper came from Valeriane Digital. She has great digital background papers that are really easy to use. 

The rods came from InkCurves. I worked with Reubena who was fantastic and a pleasure to work with. 

Check out both of their Etsy Stores.

Gender Neutral Bow ties or Bows Invitations

I love creating new invitations to go along with any theme that I am planning. I will be doing a Bow ties or Bows baby shower in July. I chose the colors Red, Light Blue and Grey. Here is the invitation.

 I got my inspiration from these items found at one of my favorite stores, Homegoods. These items set the tone for the party and I can't wait to incorporate them!

Monster Glow in the Dark Party

I recently celebrated my sons 8th birthday with a Monster Glow in the Dark Party.  We had a blast. I began planning for the party with the color pallet of Orange, Green, Purple, Chevron Black and White and anything glow in the dark. 

The party with a candy invitation. 

The Centerpiece was an exagerrated blow up of the monsters on the invitation. I got these monsters free from clipartpal 

 The party location had a black light throughout which made anything white or glow in the dark light up. Check out the sign below. I did add glow in the dark puffy paint (found at Michael's)

 I couldn't get enough of Chevron. I ordered the chevron paper for Hobby Lobby. This wrapping paper was think and heavy. Loved it. It worked for the best backdrop and great for wrapping the rice crispy treats and oreo mummy pops.

The cake, rice crispy treats and mummy pops were made by Sugar Fairy. They looked great and were delicious.

 The favor bags were purchased after Halloween for 70% off at Michaels. It pays to start early!

The location was the Monster Glow in the Dark Mini Golf 

 

They had great decorated party room. So all I needed was some quick centerpieces and a couple of balloons. 

 

We love the glow in the dark shirts that I ordered from Spreadshirt 

 Now that Bailey is 8…the loving pictures that I use to take after every birthday party are no longer. He told me that he was so over it…lol…but I still made him take it anyway. 

They allowed my son to make a glow in the dark hand print. So Cute!
