Featured Parties: Lachlan's Vintage Circus Carnival Birthday

Good morning everyone!

Quite often we send out a set of printable birthday party decor to a customer, customized and read y to go for their special event, but we never hear back on how it went. We would love to receive photos and information regarding the products we sell. We want to be sure that everything has worked out well and that you are satisfied!

The party we are about to show you is from our Vintage Circus Carnival collection. This was our very first printable set up in the Etsy shop and was very popular last year. We even used it for our own son’s 2nd birthday party! (click here to see it) 

This party however, was for a special little man named Lachlan. His mother Elesha contacted us about the printables on Etsy, very excited to make it a grand affair and fun for all ages. We think it turned our spectacular and are sure the kids had an amazing time!

Here are all the party details as told by Lachlans’s mom, Elesha!

• The circus peanuts, cherry sours and candy buttons were from oldtimecandy.com
• The popcorn stripey bags, clear cotton candy bags and tissue paper were from Hobby Lobby.
• Party Favors, game prizes, ducks, clown noses and wig, and big swirly lollipops were from orientaltrading .com

Sweet Parties: Julie's Star Wars Birthday

Han Solo in Carbonite “Jello” featuring our Star Wars food tag design.

A couple of weeks ago we sponsored a giveaway where we gave our readers the option to enter for a chance to win any party we currently sell in our Etsy shop! Julie was one of our lucky winners and she chose our most popular party to date: Star Wars. We customized the set of printables with her party details and menu and sent them on their way.

Now usually, we don’t ever hear back after this point. We are kind of used to this, no news is good news or so they say…but Julie was kind enough to let us know that her party was a huge success and even wrote a post on her own blog about it. We love hearing back from our customers and contest winners!

We wanted to share with you some of Julie’s own party photos and what she had to say about how everything worked out for her son Ethan’s birthday!

From Julie’s blog:

Star Wars Birthday Party

It was rowdy and tons of fun.  Don’t ever underestimate the power of a light saber in the hands of my girls.  They are a force to be reckoned with and I don’t think any of the boys were prepared for their wrath and skill level.  I was incredibly lucky to win a complete party printable set from Hello My Sweet.  If it wasn’t for Ethan having a Star Wars theme I would have chosen some really chic party and heck had a party for myself with one of their other amazing products like this Pink Vintage Parisian Romance or this Woodland Acorn Party, sigh.  But their Star Wars printable set was so much fun and it really made the party!

Smores Cupcakes using our Star Wars toppers and wraps.

I got a ton of ideas from Just Jenn Recipes.  Seriously her Ultimate Star Wars Party was Jedi-tastic, really true genius!  Her recipes look delicious as well.  Girl can cook!

I had nothing planned as far as games or activities.  I simply set them loose with homemade light sabers until it was time for Han Burgers, Smores Troopers (smore style cupcakes, yum!) and Yoda Soda.  The biggest hit was the Thermal Detonators aka Whoppers.  They had so much fun eating them before they were deactivated and blowing themselves up. Boys will be boys.
