Sweet Inspiration

Ice Cream Socials - need I say more?

Summer is almost here! School is winding down, trips are being planned and the heat is already oppressive.  Pretty soon those summer parties will start cropping up and while pool parties are fun can you really beat and ice cream social?

I have had the fun, recently, of designing some darling invites and accessories for an ice cream social for a friend of mine and I scoured the web for some fun inspiration. Have a look at what I came up with - and if you are planning something icy, creamy, and delightful this summer - email me and I can create invites, cone wrappers, favor tags, thank you notes, etc. to go with!

She chose the last one and I whipped up some darling labels to go with them!

Cinderelly Party!

Remember these invitations? I'm not one for tooting my own horn but really - are those not the cutest glass slippers you have ever seen?

 Well, I thought I would update you on how the party turned out!

Here is the table set up - love love love these oversized balloons (all though, these days it costs an arm and a leg to inflate them) - I use them all the time! And the tulle on the table was on sale at Joann's a few weeks ago (the plan is to turn this into some dress-up clothes).  And the weather I ordered (sunny and breezy) was perfect!

Here is the name banner for the birthday girl!

More giant balloons and then we hung tulle poms too - have you seen these? - here is how to make them, they were adorable and way less stressful than the tissue poms that we've been making for years!

 On to the popcorn boxes - couldn't resist tying in those darling shoe embellishments at the party somewhere and I had left over ribbon from the favors and banner! We filled them with fresh, popped popcorn and drizzled with blue tinted white chocolate. A hit with the kiddos since they could grab a box and walk around with it - and the boxes were only 4 or 5 inches tall so they didn't hold too much popcorn (which makes moms and dads happy too!)

Here are the little tent cards we used to tell people what they were getting!  Pardon my sad handwriting - I do print these sometimes, but sometimes I love the feel of handwritten touches (until I see them in photos that I am going to add to a blog post)

 And finally if I had to pick one item that I thought was the cutest - it was the favors!  These darling shoes had a little favor tag on them and they were filled with nilla wafers dipped half way in white chocolate - Delish!! Scroll down for close-up!

So, the next time you are planning a Cinderelly party - remember Tulip Invites - we've got everything paper you need and can give you great ideas for pulling it all together!
