deep blue sea party ideas

These are some of my favorite deep blue sea birthday party ideas from around the web:

We just added several new printables (cupcake picks, dessert tags, beverage wrappers, and more), custom cookies (crab, starfish, and angel fish) and a monogrammed t-shirt to our Deep Blue Sea collection so this party idea has been on the brain a bit lately. If you want to see a few more ideas, hop over to my board on pinterest.

As always, I hope you’re inspired!

end summer with a splash, II

I shared some pictures of my new Splash Bash and Deep Blue Sea collections almost a week ago, and this morning I’m showing tons more. With summer closing in on us, why not go out with a splash?!

It’s as simple as packing a picnic lunch.

Throwing a few goodies in the basket, like these starfish, crab, angelfish and beach ball cookies (available in the shoppe with the collections, but baked and shipped from our partners at Sweet Tooth Cottage), innertube donuts, raft sugar wafers and embellished cupcakes.

Inviting a few good friends.

Heading out.

And having a blast!

You can find the Splash Bash and Deep Blue Sea collections, including this fun crab monogram on a t-shirt from our partners at Sew Jewell, in the shoppe. {You can convo Sew Jewell directly on Etsy if you’re interested in the towels.}

And what about a good ole water balloon fight. As always, I hope you’re inspired!

end summer with a splash!

I hate to say it, but summer is coming to a close! EEk! And with school looming only a few weeks away, why not go out with a splash!

Have a picnic at the pool or local splash pad with our Splash Bash printables! The collection offers things like beverage wrappers, straw slips, napkin rings, lunch bag tags (perfect to allow guests to grab and go).

 cupcake wrappers with waves and cupcake picks with the crazy crab from the Deep Blue Sea collection, as well as 

cupcake picks that say SPLASH! I have tons more to share, so look for part II of this post next week! Or check out the invitation and decor in the shoppe and these other ideas:

As always, I hope you’re inspired!

splash bash fun food

Food doesn’t have to be complicated to be fun. These “inner tubes” {snicker} went over very well with our guests.

And I wasn’t sure the “rafts” (aka sugar wafers) were going to make the shoot. I actually was probably the worst culprit. They remind me of my childhood and I kept thinking, one more won’t matter. My thighs may feel differently, but they were yummy and perfect for a pool party snack name!

good ole water balloon fight

Who doesn’t love a water balloon fight?! When styling our new Splash Bash collection and additions to our Deep Blue Sea collection, my sons got into a huge water balloon fight in our front yard with the neighbor kids (okay… and my husband) and so we said why not have one at the shoot too. It gets the kids giggling and makes for a great time.

These are a few of my favorite shots that Angie of Angie Arthur Photography captured!

Gathering ammo.

 Catching some air!

The war face. I LOVE this one. These two are brother and sister. Can you tell?!

More intensity. These kids meant business!

The bounce. Some of the water balloons just refused to burst. You can see the one in midair that just bounced right off her side. Trust me, it wasn’t because he wasn’t throwing hard!

And when all the balloons were gone, there was “the drench.” I just love how Angie captured the water in this one!

In the end, cookies, from our partners at Sweet Tooth Cottage, and cupcakes embellished with our cupcake picks, brought them all back together. It’s funny how sugar can do that! {wink}

Much more about these collections coming on Monday. Happy weekend everyone. And as always, I hope you’re inspired!
