I was introduced to this fabulous blog several weeks ago. Jenin hails from England and provides a great inspiration blog for kids parties and baby showers.  If you don’t already follow her blog, I would suggest taking a peek!   Lots of eye candy!

 

 

I was so excited to learn that I was featured on The Creative Party Place Blog as one of their featured events.  I read this Blog every day to get inspired by other party enthusiasts around the country!

I was so excited today to see our Swashbuckling Pirate Party featured on the Totally Tabletops Blog!  Totally Tabletops is a great blog devoted to “all things tabletops.”   

Sheena and her team share my passion for a great table setting!

Check it out….here.

For my son’s 4th birthday this year, we decided to have a pirate party.  My inspiration was the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride at Disney World.  There was nothing quite like the feeling I had as a 7-year-old “princess” walking down the dimly lit corridors waiting to board the ship. With the sounds of the sea piping in the background, I truly believed that I was getting ready to embark on a pirate adventure.  HOWEVER, since my son was scared to death to go on this ride earlier in the year this party clearly had to be a little more kid friendly.  The end goal was the same though – transport him and his friends to the world of pirates!!

The guests enjoyed getting in their pirate gear, going on a treasure hunt, learing pirate jargon, shooting cannons and boarding a pirate ship!

I have been working on several new party themes and wanted to share some of the photos from the Barnyard Bash!

It was so much fun to develop this party…. My inspiration was a set of adorable ice cream spoons with a cow handle that I saw at Bed, Bath & Beyond.  The concept then grew to cow print table runners, white milk cans, red barns and denim overalls.   My husband made the red barn for me and we mounted a rake on the side to hang the overalls for all of the farmers.  We were so excited to find a white windmill to complete the dress-up area.  It is such a great feeling to walk into a store and find EXACTLY what you need – especially when it is a unique item!

The table has large milk cans in the center and red wagons that hold the napkins, cups and cutlery.  The placecard holders are mini farmer hats and each place setting has their own cow bell to ring for grub. I couldn’t resist throwing in a photo of my daughter Riley all dressed up in her best farmer gear! She will be having a Barnyard Bash to celebrate her 2nd Birthday in February.  I can’t wait!

Here is a sneak peek of a new party package available at Giggledust Parties ….the Enchanted Fairy Garden!  More info and pictures coming soon…

 

 

Giggledust Parties had the pleasure of hosting a Pink Princess Tea Party recently for an adorable little girl named Abby. Abby was turning four and invited all of her princess and knight friends to join her in the royal celebration. The guests enoyed an afternoon of primping at the royal salon, dancing  at the ball and ,of course , sipping tea!

 

 

I am so thrilled to announce that Giggledust Parties’ Pink Princess Tea Party Table won second place in Rosanna Inc’s Third Annual Table Setting Contest. Rosanna is an amazing tableware designer and it is truly an honor to be recognized among such talented women.
