We had so much fun curating the decorations for this cute Panda First Birthday Party for little Lucas.

The panda theme is a great monochromatic theme for all you color adverse mamas! Meri Meri's cute Panda Themed Tableware is a perfect jumping off point to start your planning. With the cute die cut shapes and gold foil embellishments this plate, cup and napkin set will set the tone for your whole panda theme.

We created the most "extra" balloon bouquet using a jumbo foil panda head balloon as our muse adding the fun elements of confetti latex balloons, black and white marble latex balloons, mixed with metallics and solids. 

Vibrant Fiesta Engagement Party

All you really need is tacos and love! We absolutely adore this fiesta inspired engagement party! When it comes to engagement parties, it's often challenging to settle on a theme that will please both the bride and the groom. This fiesta engagement party is sure crowd pleaser! I mean, who doesn't love spicy margaritas, a taco bar and of course dessert!

If you are planning an engagement party near Cinco De Mayo, this theme could be the winner! Perfect for a laid back bride and groom who want to party in style while also keeping it fun and casual. Taco parties are a great way to feed a large group and offer many options for vegetarians and meat-aterians alike.

We also recommend creating a signature cocktail for the happy couple. For this party, we created a spicy lime jalapeno margarita. We used the signature drink as inspiration for the margarita cupcakes as well. For the cake, we kept it simple with a decadent lemon filling. This party is packed with fresh citrus accents and bold flavors!

To give the celebration an elegant touch, we styled it with a variety of fresh flowers in bright hues. We also included some rustic cactus and handmade wooden tray from Homeworks Etc.

We styled this unique party idea with tons of partyware from our shop. We included our Cactus Plates, our Fiesta Fringe Party Horns, Love Cake Topper, Paper Straws, Fiesta Neon Tassel Garland and more!

As favors for the guests, we included some personalized Swarovski wine charms from Plum Polka Dot. A lovely take home with a personal touch.

For balloons we created a custom arrangement with tassels and a large Cactus Balloon and Ring Balloon. Customized Balloons are a fantastic way to dress up an celebration. We offer a wide variety of customized balloons at our retail location in Langley, BC.

We hope you enjoy this styled engagement party and that it sparks inspiration for your next celebration!

We see our customers planning lavish parties and also paired down simple celebrations. No matter how you plan your party, we believe the special moments in life are worth celebrating. Kristie from The Sweet & Simple Kitchen knows a thing or two about keeping it simple. Her rustically elegant desserts are constantly making us drool on social media. We are so lucky that she occasionally swings by the shop with fresh baked treats for us to sample. On one occasion, she picked up a pack of our popular Gold Glitter Birthday Candles and swooned over how cute they were.

I handed her the pack of candles and said "Here, take these. I'm sure you'll be able to use them a some point". We would never have guessed Kristie would get Miranda Anderson Photography and take stunning pictures of them on her vanilla cake with blackberry buttercream icing. We were positively thrilled when she sent us over the photos! It was also great to see Kristie wearing clothes from two Fraser Valley owned and female run businesses, Muse Social Fashion House and The Sweet Life Apparel.

As we looked over the images, it became clear that as much as we love over-the-top celebrations, sometimes a simple set of elegant candles can make all the difference. Consider this the Marie Kondo of party planning by including party supplies that truly spark joy in your heart. In the shop, we are currently inspired by our Mini Party Hats. They are just so dainty and adorable! We are also in love with our Fiesta Fringe Party Horns. They look so modern and would add a touch of class to any celebration.

So we challenge you to try this concept for you next party, pick a few premium party supplies that you truly love and execute a paired-down celebration.

We all know that Valentine’s Day comes every year on February 14th, but how do you spend February 13th? Whether you tend to dread Valentine’s Day or count down to it, everyone can agree that February 13th or Galentine’s Day is worth celebrating!

Galentine’s Day, coined by the TV show Parks & Recreation, is a day that is created to honor the amazing women in your life. Rather than an anti-Valentine’s Day, this day is meant to lift up the strong, independent, supportive women who bring joy to your life.

One way to do this is by throwing a Galentine’s Day party. With festive, themed decorations and fun party games, this is the perfect way to truly celebrate the women in your life that mean the most. To help inspire you, FTD has Galentine’s Day party ideas and inspiration. Browse through the decor moodboard and then check out their printable gift tags. Tie the gift tags to flowers or a goodie bag to ensure that your gal pals feel the love!
