Actual Party: We have Bieber Fever!

So, last week we received a last minute call for a pop star party. When the mom told us the pop star, we had to create something fun and within her budget. Yes, we created a Bieber inspired party for a sweet little girl turning seven.


Imagine being a young girl coming into the party space, walk thru a wall of silver curtain and POW. You see multiple shades of purple, along with of course Justin Bieber. The mom requested Bieber everywhere, but I decided to take a different approach. Instead of having balloons with his face everywhere, we incorporated purple and stars (representing "Rock Star") for the decor.

You can't see all the detail, but each favor box had a tag with "I have Bieber Fever" on them. The girls noticed that little pop of detail immediately.


















Well after enjoying some girlie activities, the girls sat down for some munchies at this super cute table. We kept the decor fun and still very Bieber. Our vision is to bring some old fashion party planning with a twist. Everything from the plates, cups and even the napkin rings had Bieber Fever.

The girls went Gaga over Bieber, the decor above the table proves you can have a fun pop of character without overkill. Overall, this was such a fun party with a great family. Now that I have done a smaller scale of Bieber, I am ready for a blowout bash.

Balloons have come a long way through the years. They have grown from round, solid colors into novelties, prints and much more! Balloons today come in numerous colors, shapes and sizes. They’re not just part of the décor anymore. Balloons have also become part of the entertainment!

Balloon twisting, being one of the favorites, is always a big hit. Dogs, flowers, giraffes,helicopters and hats are just some of the possibilities of balloon twisting that always seems to amaze. Balloon twisting not only entertains the children, but the adults as well.

Balloon arches are also one of today’s hottest balloon trends. Go back in time to that feeling you had as a child surrounded by all the balloons. Now imagine being able to walk under an archway full of them. Having multiple rows in different colors make it as if you were walking under a rainbow! 

The creations that are being made with balloons right now, are truly amazing from full size human figures, to imaginative cartoon characters. When I first started to see these, I was really impressed by the detail work that goes into the balloon creations.

The balloon trend has become so popular that the major TV network TLC, has focused a 30 min time slot to balloon creations. Unpoppables has drawn major crowds to the show every Monday, while showcasing there are no limits with their balloon creations. Episodes have featured castles, walls, boats and so much more created out of balloons.

With the continuous demand of balloon twisting are archways on the rise, they are sure to remain one of the most popular party supplies.

Assuring Safety At Your Child's Party


Assuring Safety At Your Child’s Party

                                                                                                             
A child’s birthday is supposed to be one of the most important days in a child’s life, and how we approach the details leading up to that special occasion is important; especially at a young child’s party.

Before the big day arrives make sure that steps have been taken to have a safe party for your
little prince or princess.  Several days before the event, make sure you ask some parents to help chaperone the party; this lets them know that you are taking steps to ensure their little
one’s safety and happiness as while as that of the birthday child are important to you.  Little
ones have a fashion of running about, so if each adult is assigned 3–4 children each;  it makes
it much easier for each chaperone to be responsible for their assigned child.

·  Balloons are usually a part of party decor, so be mindful if one should pop. Broken balloons
    can be hazardous; kids can choke if pieces of a broken balloon are swallowed.  Pick up
    up pieces immediately.

·  Bathrooms which are a ways from party area should be assigned to an adult to take child/
    children as needed.

·  If the kitchen area is within easy reach of party area, an adult should be available to avoid
    child access to open cabinets and drawers.

·  Do not leave matches or lighters within reach of kids, remove immediately after use.

·  If planning a pool party; assign an adult to that area at all times. Hiring a lifeguard is another great way of going above and beyond with safety.

Remember:  A SAFE PARTY IS A HAPPY PARTY
