Eloise: A Sweet Slumber Party

E

When my client, Eleanore, approached me with her idea for a theme, I was truly excited. This was what she showed me:

Talk about unique themes! As far as uniqueness goes, this might just top the list. Plus, here’s a sweet bonus: Eleanore’s a long-time friend! 
Having the theme pinned down is just the tip of the iceberg. Now it was time for me to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty. Here were my rough notes while planning the party:

Helowie: A Pastry Paradise by Simply Paris

Children’s parties have come a REALLY long way since around 4-5 years back. Having been in this industry for a similar period, I’ve had the privilege of seeing the transformation, from when the kiddie parties were all about a deluge of primary colors and balloons, to something more subdued, sophisticated, coordinated, and most of all, STYLISH.

Every once in a while, a client comes knocking on my door with an idea for a theme that would EXACTLY fit with my own set of favorite themes (which I keep a record of in my head!).

In one of my other posts, I discussed 5 themes that are truly unique and up-to-date (see Top 5 Unique Birthday Party Themes). One of the themes mentioned there is my all-time favorite one, Liam’s Monster Bash (just that title already gives me the goosebumps!), which Party Magic did some time last year. What’s important to realize about any Monster-themed party is that there really is no one exact template or aesthetic that governs this theme. So when you say “Monster...

Gavin Kramer’s 1st Birthday: A Construction Party!

When I first met the Kramers, I was totally blown away by their down to earth demeanor and gracious attitude. That initial meeting at our store at Party Magic really set the tone of our relationship for the party to come, and what a party it was going to be for it was the 1st birthday of their baby boy, Gavin Kramer!   Here’s a shot of us at the Party Magic store. That giddy girl on the right is my sister, Nikki Yeung, of Simply Paris fame. We were naturally ecstatic to have the privilege...
