New Party Trend: Push-Up Cakes

August 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment

We spend a lot of time keeping up to date on what is happening in the party planning and design world these days – and there are so many brilliant creative options out there – from decor and themes, to favors and food. One trend we have seen a ton of recently? The Push-Up cakes and cookies. A little bit like the retro Push-Pop candy, these adorable treats are a fun way to eat and package cookies, cakes and cupcakes – attach a custom label that fits with your party theme and you’re good to go. We’ve even seen them filled with candy…great idea, if you ask us!

Pretty Favor and Party Packaging from Etsy

August 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

We happen to love pretty packaging – if it comes in a charming, cute or well-designed package, we usually fall for it. Custom labels are of course, a great way to put that finishing touch on packages and gifts – but beyond that, cute boxes and bags for homemade treats, favors and more, are a great place to get started making your packages look amazing.

We’ve come across a lot of party and favor packaging shops with unique options on Etsy recently, and they are stocked full of charming picks that would look great with your very own custom label. Whether you are an expert pie baker and need boxes to package your goods for holiday gifts for friends, or a cupcake queen that needs a pretty way to carry your little cakes to friends and family on their birthdays – there are a ton of lovely options out there.

Check out our picks from some of our favorite Etsy sellers…

FromSoul has a lot of simple choices for packaging that can be jazzed up with colorful twine, pretty tags and even doilies, lace or ribbon. Each box is sweet and stylish – we especially love the macaroon boxes!

For all of you cupcake fiends out there, Hey Yo Yo has cute little boxes with “windows” to safely and adorably transport your little cakes.

Last but not least, and this store is one of our favorites, we have Petit Moulin. We adore their vintage-inspired choices and minimalist (but charming!) options. The little cherries are our number one pick!

Party Like a Rock Star: Custom Birthday Invitation and Labels

August 15, 2011 By 1 Comment

Rock Star Birthday Party Custom Label from Bottle Your Brand

Every week we are adding new designs to our collection of invitations and custom labels, and this week its the Party Like a Rock Star set – perfect for a little kid’s birthday party. We love the bright colors and dynamic illustrations and designs on this set – complete with a custom favor label, invitation and water bottle label. This could make for a super fun party – for example: play upbeat music and give the kids their own blow-up guitars to play, give away personalized guitar picks as favors and make sure each kid has a pair of hip sunglasses. Check out some more inspiration below…

Making VIP Access name tags for each kid is a brilliant idea – fun for them and perhaps it will even help you to keep track of them. Music note cookies are another great idea and easy enough to make and frost at home yourself! Fake microphones are another great party extra kids would have a ball playing with – perfect for singing along to their favorite song.

One of the best ‘Rock Star’ party examples that we’ve seen is this one below, from Hostess with the Mostess – creative and perfectly executed down to the last detail – its a wonderful source of inspiration if you’re thinking about hosting a ‘Rock Star’ party soon! We love the swag bag for party favors, and star shaped cake pops.

ROCK ON!

A Cupcake Theme Birthday Party

Custom Kid's Birthday Party Invitation - Cupcake Party by Bottle Your Brand

We just added this new custom invitation design to our site last week, and its already one of our all time favorites – its a complete set, so there are coordinating water bottle labels and custom sized favor labels as well. If your little one loves cupcakes, why not throw a cupcake theme birthday party for their next special day? Cupcakes are all the rage these days and there are so many cute decor and activity options. We even saw a party that was decorated with paper cupcake liner garlands – and it was pretty precious!

Aren’t the cupcake liner garlands a brilliant idea for decor? Brilliant, we say!

If your little ones are old enough, organizing a cupcake baking party could be lots of fun. Assemble different toppings and sprinkles in bowls for them to choose from, as well as different colors of frosting. You can even include silly toppers like this mustache one we stumbled across.

One of the most creative cupcake party ideas we’ve seen recently is the Cupcake Fondue idea from Amanda Krueger at Bake It Pretty – how fun does this look!?

We recently developed a major crush on JP Creatibles, an incredible custom cookie studio located in Ashburn, Virginia, where each cookie is hand-decorated by owner and designer Jen Fisher. Every order than Jen creates is one-of-a-kind because each order is completely custom designed and made-to-order. We are so impressed with her work – the cookies we have seen are like tiny little works of art – so detailed and beautiful, we can hardly believe that they are edible!

We love the tiny ladybug cookies – how precious are they?! Jen’s cookie creations would be the perfect addition to any themed party that you may be planning for the future, or think about her cute monogrammed-style cookies for a wedding favor or treat.

Aren’t her creations amazing? We are constantly ooh-ing and ahh-ing over what she comes up with. Very impressive!
