Sweet Shoppe 6th Birthday Party

This tender SWEET SHOPPE 6TH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Brigid Steiner of Pinwheel Parties. And that it definitely is-- sweet. I love the soft yellow mixed in with the pinks and greens. The gumball machines couldn't be cuter. And how darling is the Sweet Shoppe Bingo game cards?! So many fun elements...

Here is what Brigid said about the party-- “This was an adorable Sweet Shoppe themed party for two 6-year-old friends who share a birthday. I own and rent kid-size tables & chairs, so we formed a large square with the tables and had place settings for each girl. A lollipop topiary served as the centerpiece, and each chair had a pink satin sash.

For entertainment, we hired a face-painter, played a lollipop game, sweet shoppe bingo (http://www.birthdayinabox.com/party-ideas/guidesdetails.asp?aseq=1483&bgs=0), danced to the Gummi Bear Song, and of course took turns at the candy buffet.”

Sweet Shoppe Candy Party

I have a lot of exciting things to announce. The first being that Zurchers Party and Wedding Supplies contacted me a few months ago and hired me as their new in-store party designer. It's been a lot of fun! I am now able to show you the first of many parties I'm styling for them. This SWEET SHOPPE CANDY PARTY was a blast to design and execute. I just love all the colors...and SUGAR!

Most everything you see throughout this party is from Zurchers, including the adorable apothecary jars. Often, the right candy can be so hard to find, but with the huge selection at Zurchers you don't have to search and search through hundreds of online shops.

My favorite things about this party-- the ric rac / paper and candy necklace bunting, the milk bottles, the bubble gum machine drink dispenser {took the top off my gumball machine and replaced it with a beverage dispenser}, the various lollipops, the pink sixlets, the paper straws, the funky ribbon on the candy scoops and favor pails, the chocolate dipped candy sticks and the chevron bags. Of course, the rock candy cake is also so fun! It was inspired by this cake from Cocoa and Fig. The amazing Kim Stoegbauer from The Tomkat Studio, also used a similar cake here.

A huge thank you to my party design assistant, Brynne. I couldn't do any of this without the help of you and Amber!

Ice Cream Shoppe Wedding Dessert Table

My next party feature goes to this lovely ICE CREAM SHOPPE WEDDING DESSERT TABLE submitted by the talented Jenny Keller from Jenny Cookies. How darling! I LOVE the shabby chic table that everything is set up on...and look at the adorable awning. The vintage milk glass vase used as an ice cream cone is so cute, too!

Jenny said- "Last weekend I had the pleasure of creating a super fun dessert table for Kelsey & Eric's wedding at Novelty Hill - Januik Winery in Woodinville. When Kelsey first contacted me about doing a table she said her fiance really liked ice cream and mentioned doing some ice cream cone cupcakes she had seen in the spring issue of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine. Instead of just making ice cream cone cupcakes I suggested an entire dessert table with an Ice Cream Shop theme. They loved it!"
