I always get excited when I see a rainbow party, especially one with a unique twist… like this spectacular Rainbow Paint Party from Petite Party Studio that’s absolutely bursting with creativity! My favorite detail has got to be the fabulous rice krispie treat “paint brushes” – super clever AND easy – 2 of my very favorite adjectives for party details. ;)

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

– Colorful candy displayed in clear paint cans with cute paintbrush labels
– Painters palette cookies made with m&ms and vanilla frosting
– “Artist Tools” utensil packets in awesome orange chevron bags
– Masterpieces by all the guests using paints & Spin Art!

What a crazy-fun looking party! Karen Ayars created this colorful and modern Little Monster Party for a first birthday celebration. Her aim to make it playful and “simply FUN” was spot on with this adorable assortment of bright colors, toys & treats!

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

– Plush monster dolls and individual polka dot packaged cupcakes
– Monster birthday party kids table with mixed color chairs & cute party hats
– Fun photo booth props {oversize ribbon-wrapped frame + giant monster mouths!}
– “Monster” candy holder centerpieces fashioned from jars, fabric, & big googly eyes

HWTM Contributor Maureen Anders of Anders Ruff, here – excited to share our new baby shower theme! Ready for a totally do-able and fresh gender neutral baby shower?  Sea breeze inspired hues of mint, aqua, lime, and yellow set the stage for some yummy desserts and soft, yet striking decor!

THEME HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

– Homemade “Baby Pickles” favors in upcycled glass baby food jars.
– Decorative monogram “B” silhouette trimmed in yarn!
– Yarn Pom and Marshmallow Pop bouquets
– Yarn Cupcake Topper “Rattles”

We {Anders Ruff} love to go overboard incorporating fabulous professional dessert artists, party decor companies and seamstresses.  There is so much talent out there, but there is also the reality of a budget.  This time we Anders Ruff girls did it all on our own {with exception of our sidekick photographer, Becca Bond Photography}.  It was fun to create a realistic menu including easy and beautiful desserts and finger foods that we made ourselves.

Jenn has always been an inspiration and we have always admired her creative use of yarn.  Yarn is such an economical embellishment and while we were trying to show a “down to earth” baby shower, it seemed like it would set the tone perfectly.
