We found this fantastic party over at Hostess with Mostess, that was created by the talented Lindsey of Bella Grace Designs, for the adorable birthday boy, Finn.

The inspiration behind the theme came from a line of retro themed story books. The party was carried out perfectly with a collection of nostalgic details like jacks (used for napkin rings!), old-fashioned stick candy, sock monkeys, wooden blocks, and other vintage-style toys.

We of course were pleasantly surprised to see our 6″ red burst blumebox featured in this incredible celebration filled with candy and toys and decorated with the adorable “Play” sticker.

Be sure to catch all the details from this party over at Hostess with the Mostess and Bella Grace Designs.

Want ring in a birthday with Big Bird, Oscar, Grover? Well, who better to make it happen than Jen at Hostess with the Mostess who created this fantastic Sesame Street party for Ashby O’Dell’s 2nd birthday!

Jen started her planning around the various colors of the Sesame Street characters and moved forward with the next step of selecting the candy. All of the candy was from Sweet Factory and is available on their website.

All of the tables had an incredible splash of color thanks to the candy, soda, balloons and blumeboxes.  The candy bar is a kids dream come true! All of the assorted colors of candy makes for incredible table decor. Sesame Street figures and colorful blumeboxes (filled with candy bouquets) intermixed into the table design adding the perfect pop of color!

Balloon bouquets filled with colorful tissue were designed inside lavender field, lime slice, cornflower yellow, orange crush, red burst and eucalyptus blue 8″ blumeboxes that made for easy DIY centerpieces on the food and drinks tables.

To see more about this fabulous party, be sure to check out Jen’s blog.

Special thanks to Gina Lee for the fabulous photos!

Mother’s Day is May 9th and we have just the thing to make Mom smile!

Our My Monet Kids Kit comes with a 4-pack of assorted color crayons to draw on the blumebox, but the paper canvas allows the young artist to add all sorts of decor to it!

Fulfill your child’s dream about running away with the circus by having a Circus themed birthday party. By starting with the red, yellow and white color palette the party will begin to take shape.

Decor used in this celebration consist of boxes of animal crackers, peanuts scattered accross the table and 4″ white square blumeboxes that are filled with popcorn making for great centerpieces. Cotton candy or peanuts would also look fantastic inside the cubes as centerpieces.

Keep in mind too that these popcorn boxes could also be used as a place card settings for each guest invited to attend the circus!

There are so many desserts that could go with this theme, but we especially loved these popcorn bag brownies from one of our favorite blogs, bakerella.

The blumebox color palette makes it easy to cater centerpieces to party themes of all kinds!

Owl themed parties seem to be popping up all over the place and we wanted to put together an inspiration board of blumeboxes mixed into the picture!

To get the party started, we started with owl ribbon from Michale’s Craft and proceeded to design the centerpiece.  We used a 6″ orange crush blumebox and filled it with an easy DIY white carnation ball bouquet. From there we brought in more colors to the theme such as baby blue, chocolate brown and mossy green and searched the internet for other items that would bring the owl celebration together.

Showering the births of baby girls and boys really does not get any easier with the variety of colors we offer in the blumeboxes.

The inspiration behind this celebration came from a product we have fallen in love with and think is brilliant. The lollipop onesies come in 3 different colors and are just that…a striped (red, pink or blue) baby onsie wrapped up and packaged like a lollipop!

We love that the centerpiece is useful and becomes a gift for the mom to be! So whether you are throwing a pink, blue or neutral themed baby shower, the lollipop onsies are just what the baby ordered.

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!
