Bridal Showers
For her outdoor fairy garden inspired wedding, my bestie hosted a beautiful hanging wisteria altar pergola to exchange her vow, and ever since I saw it I instantly fell in love with the idea of creating a curtain of my own for using as a beautiful photo backdrop! So when my favorite silk flower provider featured some gorgeous wisteria garlands and stems, I knew it was the perfect time to craft my own Fairy Light Flower Curtain to feature at my Vintage Victorian Cocktail Party!
Anybody care for a spot of tea? While tea is usually my winter warmer of choice, with the start of my collection of tea cups I wanted to see what other uses I could put them to in the warmer months while still having them for serving future tea parties and brunches. Enter these Teacup Mini Centerpieces, a perfect petite floral addition to my myriad of party decorations!
I love cleverly crafted candles and experimenting with new methods of making them as gifts for my friends! So while I was thinking of fun additions to my Galentine’s gift boxes last year, it was the perfect time to try putting pretty gold foil accents into my candle crafting and thus these gorgeous Crescent Moon Candles came to be!
For a foodie favor with British flair, there’s nothing like a spot of tea for going with your morning scones! When I was creating my Tea and Scones Breakfast Boxes for Vintage Victorian Cocktail Party, I began knowing I wanted to include loose tea but what was missing was a pretty and not too pricey way to pack it! So with the help of my printer and trusty craft cutter, I took to designing a festive favor bag that could be used for everyone’s favorite flavor, and these Spot of Tea Favor Bags came to be!
I love magnets as an inexpensive and useful party favor, but even more for how many creative options I’ve found in the past. From wooden magnets to photos to wine corks or bottle caps, there’s so many creative ways to design them and make them unique to your own event! When I was experimenting with ways to use sealing wax in my party projects for my Vintage Victorian Cocktail Party, as soon as I thought of making these Wax Seal Magnet Favors, I knew that they were going to be my favorite form of magnet yet!
For sweetening your tea or enjoying as a farmer’s market treat, honey sticks are one of my favorite old school snacks, in fact my man buys me a couple anytime he sees them for sale! So when I was making Tea and Scones Breakfast Boxes to give away at my Vintage Victorian Cocktail Party, I knew that they just had to have some Ribbon Tied Honey Stick Favors!
In any season that flowers are blooming, you better bee-lieve I love some honeycomb themed accents at my parties and events, so when I was designing the favors for my take home gifts for my Vintage Victorian Cocktail Party, I knew I wanted to design some bee themed paperie that I could use for all sorts of future favor fun too! Some simple designing and cardstock cutting later, these Honeycomb Hexagon Favor Tags and Cards were ready to bedeck all my favors while being an adorable and easy project for anyone looking to give away bee themed gifts to their guests!
When it comes to keeping all my cocktails in order for my parties and events, my favorite method has to be these Vinyl Bottle Labels. If you’ve read any of my party posts you’ve seen them make an appearance, from my Goddess of Spring 30th Birthday to my most recent Karaoke & Cards Vintage Victorian Party, I always use these to label my various cocktails, making it easy for guests to find what drink the are looking for, while being able to remove them when the party's over and the bottles are being cleaned out for the next event. So for those that are new to the craft cutter lifestyle, I’m making this simple tutorial for making bottle labels, with the sizing, fonts, tips and tricks I use when creating them and other vinyl decals.
Every great party needs a photo booth! Whether it's a wedding, bachelorette party, bridal shower, baby shower or anything in between, having a decorated wall that your guests can pose in front of is always a crowd pleaser! There’s so many photo booth options out there so for my first homemade photo booth, I wanted something easy to make but that would be a fun textured backdrop that could be used for a variety of events. Enter this tissue paper circle photo booth, with its layers of inexpensive tissue paper turning my blank wall into a light and bright backdrop for fabulous photos!
For that extra bit of glitz and glam, nothing adds sparkle like a glittery design detail! So as I learned about the basics of wax seal making as I created my Simple Self Adhesive Wax Seals and my Marbled Self Adhesive Wax Seals, I started experimenting with other details to add to my seals to give them some extra pizazz, starting with some metallic flake rose gold glitter. I gathered a bunch of my favorite bold and blank wax stamps, started sprinkling glitter everywhere, and from my fun a variety of metallic flake covered Glitter Self Adhesive Wax Seals were created for my future holiday and birthday stationary projects!
If there's a favor I love to give for baby or bridal showers, it has to be shower and spa themed goodies! So when I was done making bath bombs and bath salts, the next favor in my lineup had to be another of my favorite spa themed favors to give with a fun mini sized twist, these Ombre Pink Heart Shaped mini soaps!
There is nothing like a hot bath to soak away the troubles of the day, and giving fun spa themed goodies for them as favors is surely one of my favorite things! When I was done making a new set of Mini Bath Bomb Trios for my friendcation in Florida, I still had plenty of bath bomb supplies left, so I chose to vary the charm and help one of my at home besties with some favors for her teen’s spa party, these Floral Fizzy Bath Salts!
I love giving away bath supplies as Bridal Shower and Baby Shower Favors, but they are great gifts for any variety of events, so I returned to this tutorial to create a new trio of bath bombs for my latest trip to the beach to visit and catch up with some college friends! This pretty trio was the perfect finishing touch to the Spa Sleepover Gift Boxes I made for each of my friends, being easy to DIY and color customize!
