Real Parties: A Pirate Bash!

I saw this great pirate party over at The TomKat Studio and just had it share it with you! I really like how Kim's sister-in-law used two tones of blue for the color scheme instead of the typical red, white and black (not that there is anything wrong with that!).

Here are the loot bags that were used for the pinata. They are simple, yet look so chic even though it was for a 5th birthday party!

Kim's famous cupcake toppers (now "party circles"!) made an appearance of course!

The party favors consisted of cute treasure chests filled with gold coins & pirate bouncy balls!

How great is it that the birthday boy's name is Jack?! "Captain Jack" signs were placed around the house

I love the font that was used too! Arrgh (had to say that at some point, ha!)! I'm sure a great time was had by all!

Rosette Chair Adornment

Are these not gorgeous?! What a special and unique touch these chair adornments would be at your next girly function.

Confetti Invitation

This darling invitation immediately caught my eye when I saw it a few months ago over at Creature Comforts. It would be perfect for a bubble theme bash or polka dot party. I also think it would be fun to add photofetti along with the paper circles.

To recreate the look, you can find the vellum envelopes at Paper and More. There are many Etsy sellers who offer custom rubber stamps like this one here.

Black & Yellow Candy Station

I am loving this perfectly coordinated candy station created by Amorology Weddings. It is so cheerful and chic! This would also work great for bridal shower, an anniversary party or a bee themed children's' party.

In Need of a Chuckle...

We are all starting to feel better...FINALLY! I'm still dealing with the remnants of a yucky cold and not my usual self just yet. While reading one of my friend's family blogs today, I came across this picture and it made me laugh out loud. That's just what I needed! =)

I need to order these cups ASAP. Whenever my 2 year old asks what's in my wine glass, I always say, "it's mommy's juice."

You can order cups like these HERE.
