I love this simple favor bag idea from Perideau Designs which I spotted over at Hip Hip Hooray. The design is so simple, but still makes a statement!

{Real Parties} A Stylish Yo Gabba Gabba Party!


Is it possible to take a commercialized character theme and make it stylish??! The answer is YES and Krista Salmon of Kiki's List Blog did just that.

I absolutely love how Krista used the Yo Gabba Gabba colors to put together a modern arrangement of flowers. This just might be my favorite part as I am such a flower person!




This character cut-out is just too cute!

Great favor bags!

Thanks so much Krista for sharing your rendition of Yo Gabba Gabba! Be sure to visit Krista's blog for the how-tos!

{Real Parties} Cookies & Milk

On my to-do party list is a Cookies & Milk theme. I have such a sweet tooth (as do many of my friends) which would make this the perfect theme for my group! I really enjoy seeing how people take this theme and give it their own twist. Carey did just that! I love her use of chocolate brown and white and the vintage touches throughout the party.

Cookies were set on top of vintage egg crates for added height.

Making the backdrop was simple and Carey can easily change out the fabric for future events. All you need is a 4x4 piece of plywood. Then, cover it in batting and coordinating fabrics.

Rice Krispy Treats on a stick...adorned with coordinating fabric ties!

Here is a very unique centerpiece idea. Carey filled an old mixer with Baby's Breath...love that!

Thank you Carey for sharing this adorable Cookies & Milk baby shower with us! You can see more party pictures on Carey's blog.

Tanya from Save the Date for Cupcakes designed a colorful luau dessert table that I just love. My favorite part of her table has to be the adorable hula skirts on the cupcake stands and the cinnamon sugar doughnut holes in a bed of "sand"!
