Spring Garden Party

It is a sunny day today in Melbourne (surprisingly) and it feels like spring is around the corner.

Candy soirees has been working on new themes for children's birthday parties.....and I think.... given the beautiful day it is today, it is time to introduce one of our latest little projects {just a wee peek}

New party theme: The Garden Party. Simple and so much fun....you can create a gardening activity for the kids by purchasing inexpensive little terracotta pots and mini little plants or seeds and have the kids paint and decorate their pots......and once the little artist work is dry they can plant the flower of their choice...

So much fun.....and creative....

Garden Party Invite by candy soirees {coming soon}

Here are some inspiring images I found on hostess {with the mostess}

Looking forward to the spring weather and some outdoor fun.....enjoy !

A Christening for a Vintage Princess

I don't normally blog twice in one day but this is too lovely not to share....we recently designed chocolate bar favours for Little Lola's christening soiree. Mum and owner of Vintage Princess {handbags and accessories} was kind enough to share the photos with us. Angela loves to put a party together and was very creative when it came to setting up a candy buffet for her little Princess....

ROLL UP ROLL UP........for CARNIVAL fun.

It is Master Luke's 4th birthday in 10 days and he has requested a Carnival Birthday Party....(Master Luke being my eldest boy). His party will be held at the end of the month....Phew....that gives me a little more time.

So I am on the hunt for new and inspirational ideas to make this party very special for my number one little man......We have found a venue, (our house is on the verge of some major renovations....so home was not an option)......and today we found some fun games for the carnival.....

We paid a visit to our local little toy store in Mont Albert,Windmill Toys, I love this store because they have the most adorable wooden toys and it has such a vintage and nostalgic feel.......and I always find what I am looking for. Have a look at these junior 'Quoits'.... I love these and the kids are going to have so much fun.
We also couldn't leave with out traditional and colour full Juggling balls, I think the kids are going to love trying to master the art of Juggling.

     

We were very happy with our little purchase today and it was a start to what is proving to be a big event for my Lukey. The search continues.......

How gorgeous is this vintage cart, Oh if could get my hands on one I would love to use it for the dessert buffet.....and I think a traditional popcorn machine is a must.

Popcorn bags and Fairy floss bags from i love parties

Love this vintage pin the tail on the donkey game also from i love parties

And my favourite find today.....these adorable must have stripe bags from oh Joy

Oh I can't wait to see the look on Luke's face when  he walks into his very own carnival......let's just hope I can piece it all together for my gorgeous boy. Happy birthday my little man xx
