Party Planner - Budget Checklist


The budget is one of the last things we want to be thinking about when planning a party, but is still one of the most important things to keep track of.

Make your party planning a little easier with this budget checklist.

I left the categories empty on purpose - budget in first what is most important to you. For my daughter's birthday decorations, activities, and favors are the most important. So those are the categories that are going to be top on my list. Let me know if this budget checklist helps with your party planning!

Pretty Fringe Topper


I seriously love this party fringe! It is so fun to use and come up with new and unique party decorations. 

All you will need to make these fringe party toppers is:
glue


I think this is the easiest DIY decoration I've posted here on the blog. All you do is wrap the party fringe around the top of your lollipop and glue in place.


Seriously that simple.


Then stick in your favorite party treat!

I hope you enjoy these little fringe toppers. I love them and am going to make a few too many for my next party!

Unique party favor idea


I found these cute little candy houses in the Michael's dollar section and thought they would make the best favors for a party.

While I love candy and think that the little candy house is delightful when filled with sweets, I do like to think outside the box, and came up with a cute Make-Your-Own-Necklace party favor as a sugarless alternative.

And... I thought it was adorable enough to share with all of you.

how do you celebrate?


So - my birthday is coming up at the end of the month.
My husband just asked me how I want to celebrate.

I have no idea!

I need help.

How do you celebrate your birthday? I am so use to planning parties for everyone else, that I was completely caught off guard when asked how I wanted to celebrate my own party.

Should I pick a quiet dinner for 2?
A fun girl's night?
A spring dinner party?

I seriously need help! Please comment with your suggestions!

pretty spring party favor

These cute party favors are a classic that can match any party or event colors and decorations!


What you will need for one party favor:

1 sheet of 4.5"x6" cardstock or scrapbook paper
1 piece of crepe paper cut down to 4"x6"
ribbon
2 sheets of 10"x6" tissue paper
1 tag cut to .75"x3" from white paper


Roll the long side your cardstock into the shape of a cylinder and glue into place.
It should measure 4.5" wide.


Wrap the tissue paper around the cardstock. Tie off one end of the tissue paper with ribbon. Then fill up your favor with treats and goodies. Pretty candies are always a favorite!


Finally, tie off the other end of tissue paper with ribbon. Wrap the crepe paper around the tissue paper and glue into place. Glue the tag on the front to add a little personal touch!
