Sometimes the simplest ideas are the very best ones of all. Take these first birthday party invitations for instance. Letterpress printed and paired with a single birthday candle and fabulous packaging, they’re about as charming as they get. Created by Chelsea of Sugar Paper for her son Owen’s first birthday celebration, these invitations are a …

It may only be Wednesday, but I’m already looking forward to spending a quiet Mother’s Day brunch with my mom this weekend. This will be the first year it’s just the two of us now that my siblings have both relocated and can’t make it home, so it will be low key but we always …
When I spied Emerson’s first birthday party on EAD Living, I fell in love. It’s sweet and pink and loaded with fun little homemade pies and a pretty birthday cake that looks almost too good to eat. I love birthday parties that skip the cartoon characters in lieu of something a bit more homespun and …
Good morning, friends! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I am so excited for this week because I’ll be traveling to St. Petersburg, Florida for a long weekend to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. A little sun and fun are just what I need right now. With celebration on my mind, I’m loving these pretty …
I’m still on a pink kick, it seems, and this pretty pink rainbow cake was the perfect inspiration for a sweets-inspired color palette. I just can’t get enough of simple cakes with dollops of homemade frosting and pretty cake bunting. A couple of bamboo skewers and little slips of ribbon are all it takes to …
HI! It’s Jenny from Hank + Hunt with another party accoutrement DIY for you, my pretties. So, I have three whole rolls of this AMAZING 1960s contact paper for lining shelves. While I have had them since before I got married (ahem) a while ago, I have never lined a shelf with it. I just …
Happy Friday, everyone! I am really looking forward to the weekend, I’ve got to say. I’ve been fighting the flu this week (which explains why it’s been a little quieter than usual around these parts) and I’m looking forward to some extra sleep and a quiet little birthday celebration with my family. Plus, next week …
A few times now we’ve talked about my love for pancakes and breakfast in general. (A breakfast birthday party? Fabulous.) So, I have to say I truly believe a little stack of cake batter pancakes loaded with sprinkles and drizzled with icing sound like the perfect birthday treat. Today I am spending a quiet day …
Update: Thank you for all of the amazing participation! We’ve reached the maximum number of respondents so the survey is now closed – the gift card winner will still be announced on Friday, April 7. Thank you! It’s that time again – time for the 2011 reader survey! Early 2011 has brought some exciting changes …
This DIY idea is pretty brilliant, I’ve got to say. Go to Home Depot or Lowes (or your home improvement store of choice). Pick out your favorite paint chips in pretty rainbow hues. Cut into cute little eggs, fashion them into a garland with a bit of string and make the Easter bunny happy. Oh. …
I have to say that this storybook inspired birthday party is easily one of the cutest things I’ve seen in a long time. The classic tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears takes center stage with treats like baked porridge topped with maple frosting and cinnamon and a trio of bear silhouettes takes center stage …
All the way from Singapore, I love this pretty pink ballerina birthday party that Mimi threw for her daughter Sarah. Loads of pink treats, paper pom poms, bunting, and a pink rainbow cake with a ballerina cake topper are about as girly as it gets. Add in one adorable birthday girl sporting a pink tutu …
