We love this party that was sent in from a blumebox customer.
The birthday girl, Tara loves sweets, so an ice cream / candy party was the perfect choice for her 5th birthday celebration. They chose to host the event at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor which recently opened at The Mission Viejo Shops, in Orange County, California.
Sheri Valainis Events, helped to completely transform the space into a magical, sweet candy palace. They alternated between ice cream sundae centerpieces and glass jars filled with sundae toppings. To tie the look together, they created whimsical marabou ice cream cone centerpieces with hot pink and lime green blumeboxes set on each end.
To add to the ambiance, they created a candy table straight out of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. The kids loved it. They kept the children busy with ice cream and candy related crafts and ice cream themed games. A great time was had by all.
Thank you Tara for sharing your magical 5th birthday party with us all!

Party planning should be fun and for the most part easy! One tip to keep on track is to tie in a theme from the beginning. Start with the invitations and the rest should be easy sailing.
Amy sent in this great DIY baby shower she hosted for her sister -in-law and we wanted to share it with everyone! See how the invite announces the general look /theme she is trying to achieve.
The colors are so vibrant and gender neutral making it a great theme for baby boy, baby girl or baby unknown. We love how she incorporated the hearts from the invite onto the blumeboxes with passion pink heart confetti.
Re-create this:
· 6″ lime slice blumebox
· turquoise fabric ibbon cut to fit all side panels of blueboxe
· pink heart confetti
· assorted flowers or your choice

We love this idea that was created by the talented Michelle at Floribunda Designs, who started with a 6″ red burst blumebox, adorned with stamped paper decor and filled with a fresh strawberry plant.
This would make for a great centerpiece for a summer party as well as a healthy goodie bag for kids to take home, plant, and watch grow.

Kids of all ages have dreamed of running off to join the circus at some stage of their life. So we loved what Couture Parties created to bring a little ones’ dream alive with this Circus theme birthday party.
What a great theme for a baby shower!

We adore this organic looking table decor that Florali out of Walnut Creek, CA created for a “eco-savvy” wedding. They started with our 6″ blumeboxes in kraft natural, added their own cardboard ribbon and filled each blumebox vase with a gorgeous selection of neutral colored cut flowers making for one fresh looking table. What a great idea for a wedding shower, rehearsal dinner or outdoor wedding reception!

Don’t forget to invite blumebox to the picnic or party! Blumeboxes make great containers to house cutlery for outdoor parties and buffets. Select from the 4″ or 6″ size blumeboxes, decorate according to your theme and fill with plastic, metal or wood cutlery and place at the end of a buffet table.
Show here is a 6″ blumebox wrapped in tissue paper and decorative ribbon.
For another take on this idea be sure to check out the post under 4th of July celebrations!

Girls of all ages would love to get fresh cut flowers from your garden for their birthday! We love how simple it is to accentuate the floral bouquet with easy touches like a simple ribbon.
This simple yet elegant white vase could make for the perfect bridal bouquet delivery vase. Simply wrap with ribbon to match the wedding theme and you have the perfect vase for ensuring those bridal bouquets look there best for the big day. These vases could be used to stage the bouquets at the church and again at the reception on the buffet table or as wedding table centerpieces.

What does Mom love more than fresh flowers? Homemade presents from the kids! Combine her two wishes by giving her flowers in a blumebox decorated by her favorite little artist.
My Monet kids kits are six inch blumeboxes without the usual aqueous varnish. They come with a box of crayons, but that is just the beginning of the ways they can be decorated! Here, our friend Stella, age 8, used glitter, fingerpaints, and gold and silver markers to express her love for Mom. Stickers, ribbons, and other fun arts and crafts materials could provide hours of artistic fun for the kids – on rainy days, in the classroom, or for a special Mother’s Day gift.

The color we associate with sunshine is just about as cheerful as it gets. Mixing one of the most recognizable heralds of spring – the smile-inducing daffodil – with elegant black and white accents can turn any occasion into a gala event.
This look was created using a tall Cornflower Yellow blumebox, filled tightly with a dozen daffodils. A black, patterned ribbon was affixed at an angle, and topped with a scalloped, monogrammed tag. The entire arrangement took only minutes to assemble, but the overall look was simply elegant.

When Ryan and Trista Sutter, of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette fame, threw a party to celebrate their son’s first birthday, blumeboxes were part of the celebration!
Mom Logic hosted the birthday festivities and the talented Jenn Sbranti from Hostess with the Mostess helped with the creative planning of it all.
Candy-colored blumeboxes were decorated with stickers and our patterned ribbons, then filled with assorted candy suckers that made for a very delicious bouquet.
And to top of the colorful “candy land” theme, Jenn wrapped the napkins with our patterned ribbons adding to the very festive soiree!
