Summer is here, and if you need a fresh party idea or theme for your seasonal celebrations, then you can't go wrong with lemons! I've teamed with a couple of French brands , for a super sweet collaboration to showcase their brand new lemon themed designs and paper goods, and I can't tell you how much I loved it! 🍋

If you love Earl Grey tea as much as I do, then you'll LOVE today's post! ☕🍪 My daughter and I made these Earl Grey cookies for our tea party last week , but I'm thinking this is going to become a regular treat in our house! These Earl Grey flavored cookies are shaped like a teabag and dipped in melted chocolate (YUM!), so I'm thinking they'd be perfect also for a garden party, baby or bridal shower brunch too. 

Mother's Day is coming up, and we designed a super pretty, but oh-so easy to pull-off, tea party and tablescape to help you celebrate mom in style! The colors we chose were inspired by our NEW Lavender Floral printable collection right now in our shop! Our invitations and printable decorations are perfect for a Mother's day tea party or brunch, but we can also personalize them to suit any event, like a baby or bridal shower for instance.

Today I'm so excited to share with you a stunning baby shower, sent to us by Rose from Cake and Party DIY !   This baby shower is themed around balloons for a "Oh Baby, the places you'll go!" dreamy concept! I love all the colors used and the gorgeous desserts on offer!  Check out all the fab details below as described by Rose.

It was national watermelon day on August 03rd (yeah, did you miss that too?!), but  it's a party theme that will help us linger a little longer in the sun and reminds us that summer is not quite over yet! 😉

Happy New Year, party friends! It's been a while since I last posted, but after all the end-of year celebrations, come January and I feel all partied out! Are you the same? Anyways, we gotta get motivated somehow...and although winter is not my fav, there's still ways we can make the most of these cold months - hello  hot toddy  and  homemade marshmallows ! 😉

Spring's in full bloom, true. But still can't avoid those April showers, so we might as well celebrate them. Because if nothing else, that's when we're more likely to see a pretty rainbow! ;) And who doesn't love rainbows?! The colors are an instant pick me up, and perfect for injecting a little cheer into our seasonal birthdays, baby showers or any other celebration this time of year!

Spring is synonymous with flowers, but also with the humble bumble bee. And it's so heartbreaking to read everywhere that bees are on the verge of extinction :( ( you can read more on this subject here ). But if it's up to us party lovers, bee themed parties and events are here to stay, right?!  We ♥ the bumble bees 'round here and this sweet theme is perfect for Spring weddings, showers, luncheons and birthdays of any age!

I grew up on smoothies. My mom used to create the most weird and wonderful concoctions of fruit and veg, all blended up into a practical and nutritious drink/snack.  Some flavors I loved, and some I hate to this day (hello trauma of beetroot!), but now find myself passing down my love of smoothies to my kids. And smoothie bowls are not only the latest healthy rage around, but I found it to be a super FUN and healthy snack for kids , as well as a lazy (but nutritious) breakfast option for busy gals ;)  Major bonus points that they look totally Instagram worthy (wink) AND are super good for you!

Ah, so nice to start the week on Tuesday, right?! ;) And to kick things off, we have a super adorable music inspired first birthday party from our contributor Smita . She ALWAYS pulls off stunningly creative parties for her kids with lots of handmade, DIY details; and I'm honored to be a part of it for her little Aashi's first birthday baby jam ! If you're into your crafts and handmade decor, you'll love how totally clever this party is!

This beautiful baby shower styled by my friend Katelyn from Events by Kate, provides the perfect theme for a Fall baby shower celebrating the 'nesting mommy' and baby! Kate used Bird's Party Baby Shower Printables , and stunning rustic and woodland elements for the decor to tie in perfectly with the more delicate look of the glassware, floral arrangements and lace.  Check out all the gorgeous details below as told by Kate.

I can't complain when food (especially the sweet kind..) takes over the blog for a whole week. And today we have the second of Gillian's Baby Shower desserts table recipes for ya - Jelly Crystal Cookies .  Sounds funky, right?! And it's gluten-free too! Get the full easy-to-make the recipe below...

On with our baby shower party week, today our contributor Gillian is sharing one of the scrumptious recipes she created for the Baby Shower  desserts table she styled for Bird's Party Magazine . 

Last year, I got to design a super cute printable collection for a friend's baby shower. My brief was " stork theme with a French twist " . We all loved how it turned out, but I'm especially stoked about how fabulously our Gillian style this collection for Bird's Party Magazine !  And this week we're sharing ALL of the gorgeous baby shower photos, plus some of the delicious recipes from Gillian's dessert table, to help you get inspired for your own celebrations. P.S. - Stoke Baby Shower Printables are now in store in blue OR pink   ♥

Jenny Keller is a girl after my own heart. Not only she's a mega talented desserts table stylists, but she also is a baker, cookie, cake decorator extraordinaire. And you know how much I respect and love any girl who's not afraid to DIY it all . And to such a fabulous standard too! Jenny is a self taught baker and has styled parties and desserts for some of Hollywood's finest, and now she shares her secrets, tips, tricks and yummy recipes in her gorgeous NEW Book Eat More Dessert . 

Bee-utifully sweet party ideas from Party Pinching for Bird's Party magazine! Norene has created and baked so many cute details, full of creative flair and ideas to inspire your own bee-utiful bee birthdays, parties and celebrations! Check out all the black and yellow party details below.

In honor of the little British prince, I designed these Keep Calm signs - one for BOY and one for GIRL. Because all babies are princes or princesses in their mommy's eyes! ♥ They'd be perfect signage for a baby shower, gender reveal party or even as decor in the nursery! You can print them on white card-stock and frame them, or on fabric transfer paper to make your own bespoke t-shirts. How regal is that?! :)

As promised last week, I'm sharing today the tutorial on how I made my Rustic Log Cake Stand . These babies brand new, can set you back at least $30, so making your own is a steal, and totally more fun too! ;) They are ideal for a rustic wedding or birthday party or Fall celebration - how about a woodland birthday party (think Red Riding Hood , Bambi , Vintage Snow White , Camping Party ...) but also perfect for those rustic, shabby chic bridal or baby showers or weddings too!

Today we're sharing some of the fabulous photos as styled and photographed by our contributor Mindy . She used Bird's Party Glam Baby Shower printables to create a stunning and super creative desserts table for a friend's baby shower! I especially love the post-it note backdrop and that gorgeous giant frame decorating the front of the table - So easy to re-create and both pack a huge wow factor! Details below as told by Mindy:
