We’ve been burning the candle at both ends lately and here’s a peek at one more thing that we’re working on. My “on the farm” collection is one of my favorites so I thought we would enhance the offering a bit. Right now you can get all the table decor, custom invitation (shown top left), thank you, napkin rings, cupcake picks (shown top right), cupcake wrappers and favor tags in the shoppe.
And soon you’ll be able to set up a farmers market with our new dessert table mats (Farmers Market with pricing, lemonade stand with pricing and olde fashioned stick candy buffet, shown above center), dessert tags (center right showing stick candy flavors), beverage wrappers labeled Moo! Milk and Well Water {loud giggles}, straw slips in six designs (one shown bottom), red and yellow gingham mats and a lovely flag banner.
The photo shoot is scheduled for the week of September 13 and all items will be in the shoppe shortly thereafter. If you’re interested in learning more about these fun items now, e-mail us at customercare@celebrationshoppe.com and we’ll gladly help you get them early!
Oh, and we’re still working furiously to post more about the new Harvest collection today! I warn that it might be very, very late today… but we’re really trying!

I’ve mentioned on facebook that we’re creating a new science birthday party collection for my oldest son’s sixth birthday party in a few weeks. Here’s a little peek at the invite, which is already available in the shoppe, and just a few of the printables that will be available soon. From left to right: favor tag, placecard, banner (one of two), beverage wrapper (one of two) and straw slip (one of six).
I also have some very exciting news to share about this collection, which I’m officially not allowed to talk about yet. But I know how much everyone loves suspense so I thought I would throw it out there. {sneaky giggle}
I’ll share more details as the party gets closer and if you’re interested in the printables before they’re available in the shoppe, just shoot us an e-mail at customercare@celebrationshoppe.com.
As always, I hope you’re inspired!

My friend Chris from Celebrations At Home featured a campout birthday party yesterday and I had to share it here. The party was hosted by Lisa of Moore Minutes and every detail was perfectly rustic for a campout in the “real” wilderness!

I’m starting at the S’mores bar because I love how Lisa pulled this all together. Just look at how she displayed her dessert tags: aged paper and pine cones! Very clever!

Lisa set the scene with three different stations: S’mores table, main dining area, and

gift/banner area.

Before I go, I have to leave you with a few shots of the favor bags and the boys going on a hike. My boys would LOVE this! Make sure you hop over to see tons more pictures and details in Lisa’s original blog posts: classic campout birthday party and S’mores dessert bar.
And check out our campout and great outdoor invitations and table decor for even more ideas! Happy Friday everyone!

I love this idea from Kristy of The Purple Pug blog. It would be perfect for a fun and easy back to school breakfast party, especially for little ones like mine who are excited and apprehensive at the same time. If I wasn’t completely out of time, I would host one for my boys and all their little classmates just to help warm the waters. I could also see this being perfect for a slumber party. Since its difficult to determine when guests would wake up after giggling all night, you could put together a cereal buffet table and just let them help themselves as they rolled out of bed!

How fun are these real orange juice sippers?!

And I’m just loving the personalized beaded spoons for each child. Very smart favor idea! Make sure you hop over to Kristy’s blog to see all the details!
