Pink Bridal Shower

This bridal shower was just too much fun! Bridal showers are such a great way for family and friends to celebrate with the bride-to-be the upcoming wedding. Her family made some delicious food, sweets, and cute decorations. The theme of this bridal shower was pink, so I made some sweets, favors, and an activity using the same color. I made her some sweet cupcakes with personalized toppers, a "secrets of a happy marriage" jar, and favors. Congratulations Ruba, I'm so happy for you and wish you the best!

A closer look at the cupcakes with toppers that I made.

The activity I made was a "secrets of a happy marriage" jar. Every guest had to write some marriage advice for the couple. I added dress and ring shaped paper for the guests to write on.

The dress and ring shaped paper I made for the "secrets of a happy marriage" jar.

I made pink favors shaped as suitcases. Since the bride is going to be leaving right after the wedding, I had to pack her bags for her. I also made some for whoever wanted to travel with the bride. I'm already on my way!

Strawberry Shortcake 4th Birthday Party

What is the cutest theme to throw for a girl's 4th birthday party? Strawberry Shortcake of course! We made decorations, sweets, and favors using the colors pink, green, and red. We personalized the hats, banner, drinks, favors, and cupcake toppers using the birthday girl's name. I wish I was a kid again so I can have a party like this! Check out the pictures below for more details. Happy 4th birthday Maya!

Everything we made for the Strawberry Shortcake birthday.

Pink and white marshmallows in vases as the centerpieces, polka dotted napkins, and a pinata.

We made the personalized banner shaped as strawberries. Yum!

We made birthday hats in pink, green, and red. 

The birthday girl's name was added on the hats too.

The drinks were covered with personalized labels shaped as strawberries. We also added strawberry leaves on the straws.

Here is another great idea for the drinks.

Oh my my, just when you think cupcakes can't get any better, we add individual stands. I love the way these turned out!

Added pink and green frosting.

M for Maya!

We made the toppers using the Strawberry Shortcake theme.

These are the red favor boxes we made and filled with some treats!

The treats in every favor box: Strawberry shaped candy, green or pink lollipops, coloring pencils, and Strawberry Shortcake coloring pages.

These are some other great ideas that could work as favors for a Strawberry Shortcake party.

Clear bags filled with goodies and a personalized label.

Favor Boxes in either plain red or with polka dots (like strawberries).

A Sweet Birthday Gift for a Bride-To-Be

Here is a gift I made for a very special friend of mine. This was my way to wish someone so sweet a very a happy birthday. I added the same amount of lollipops as her age. This gift could work for any age, just try to avoid giving 60 chocolate lollipops for someone turning 60! Since her wedding is coming up, I decided to make the lollipops shaped as wedding cakes and added a dress shaped card. Happy birthday Ruba, the sweetest bride-to-be!

LOVE Collage Frame

 Here is a simple gift for someone that you love. I added pictures everywhere, as the background, in the word "love", the names of the couple and their engagement date. We made one similar to this for best friends, you can check that out here. The possibilities are endless, and this could work as a gift for almost any occasion.

"King of the Grill" Gift Basket

Happy birthday to the coolest and most amazing dad! This was the our way to show the ''king of the grill'' that we love him and we didn't forget about his birthday. Since he got a new grill on this very special day, a basket filled with all of the tools he needed was the perfect addition. I added everything from the tools to the roasted marshmallows. I couldn't get him the chef's knife on time so that was a belated birthday gift. I know I'm your favorite daughter and that is why I know this was your favorite gift. Love you so very much, and we didn't forget about your promise to make us BBQ this weekend!

Basket filled with all the right grilling tools and items needed for cooking and eating BBQ.

A happy birthday tool.

These were our way of showing our dad that he is the "king of the grill". The words "of" and "the" were made as grill tools. I made the crown (king) and the grill cards so the whole family can write him what it is we are expecting at the BBQ next Saturday a lot of birthday wishes.

Homemade chocolate lollipops for our #1 dad!

Marshmallows on the "grill". Filled it up with lots of firelighters.

A Highly Caffeinated Gift Basket

If you are someone that loves (and knows how) to wake up early, I warn you. What you are about to see is a gift basket filled with highly caffeinated items such as coffee, chocolate and cupcakes. This is a dangerous gift for someone that wakes up early without drinking coffee, and will never go back to sleep if they just eat a small piece of chocolate. That is why this was just perfect birthday gift for our very old young friend who just doesn't have the right amount of caffeine to wake him up early. Check out the pictures below for everything sweet, delicious, and filled with caffeine! Also check out the earlier gift basket we made for a coffee lover here.

Danger! Highly caffeinated!

An alarm clock to help him wake up and smell the coffee!

Coffee Candles.

The coffee cup birthday card with steam on top.

31 "Raisins" (instead of reasons) why you should wake up early. We filled up the jar with chocolate covered raisins to look like beans, and with paper to write the reasons.

The coffee mug shaped notes in the reasons jar.

A coffee mug that says: "Coffee: Greatest enemy of Cola"

I placed the homemade cupcakes with steam on top in plastic coffee mugs.
