All the way from Singapore, I love this pretty pink ballerina birthday party that Mimi threw for her daughter Sarah.

When I first spied these amazing letterpress baby announcements on Oh So Beautiful Paper I seriously fell instantly in love. They may just be the most beautiful baby announcements I’ve ever seen. (And given my line of “real job” work, trust me when I say – I have seen a lot of baby announcements in …
While at Alt Summit in January, one of my favorite speakers was the endlessly creative Jordan Ferney of Oh Happy Day. Jordan’s six tips for taking your parties to the next level were so spot on I immediately knew I needed to share them with you. Luckily, Jordan was a champ and was happy to …
The lovely Jessica of In the Hushed Hours shared this sweet little tea party birthday celebration she planned for her daughter and it’s one of the prettiest parties I’ve seen in a while. So girly!
