Princess Party - A Royal Celebration!

Working with Kate Petronis of And Everything Sweet always leads to a fabulous project and a big SMILE! Kate is one of the most talented ladies "in the business" and it is such a thrill every year to see what she dreams up for her little girl's birthdays. This year, in honor of her little Olivia's 4th birthday, Kate put together a truly ROYAL CELEBRATION using the Amanda's Parties To Go's new PRINCESS PARTY PRINTABLE SET.

From the gorgeous castle cake to the sweet treats like Snow White's chocolate covered Oreo apples, Cinderella's slipper Sixlets, and Ariel's chocolate sea shells, Kate created a magical world themed perfectly for her little girl's favorite princesses. The letters "OLIVIA" on the front of the dessert table are another one of Kate's brilliant creations... each themed for a different princess. You will LOVE the details of this truly spectacular celebration where even Snow White comes by with sweet birthday wishes.

Kate says....

I had every princess you could think of, every bright color that my baby loves, tiaras, dresses, flowers, tulle, if it was girly it was there. When it came time to plan this party there was no question what the theme was going to be. She was adamant, PRINCESS! The only question was, WHICH princess?? "All of them" she said, and then walked away.

So without further adieu, my baby girl's princess party...

Upon arrival, each guest was presented with a princess dress (in the event that they forgot their own at home)

Extra jewelry (you can never have too many beads)

And the boys were given knight gear. (so that they could protect the princesses)

Guests were sent home with bags full of goodies, as well as jewels from Princess Jasmine and bubbles.

It's almost EASTER TIME! To celebrate, we've got a wonderful EASTER FREEBIE set of printables to share with our favorite readers! Cris McGrath of Crissy's Crafts is here to show us stylish ways to use the set, too. Fabulous!

The EASTER FREEBIE PRINTABLES set includes lots of great designs like a banner, centerpiece circles, bunny cut outs, cross cut outs, cupcake toppers, drink flags, favor tags, napkin wraps, drink wraps and party signs, too.

Cris tells us more about the party styling....

"I always have a blast styling a party using Amanda's Parties To Go printable! Amanda designs the most adorable and colorful printables!

The dessert table was full of easy and colorful treats that were a feast to our tummies and eyes! To create the pallet backdrop, I glued several pieces of scrapbook paper found at Hobby Lobby to a foam board. I attached the Happy Easter Banner from the Easter Collection and added mini wreaths to the backdrop.

The sweets include Kisses push up pops, Tulip cake pops, hershey's chocolate, chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and sweet popcorn. I kept the sweets simple and focused on the presentation using a lot of Spring items and took advantage of the huge items included on the Easter printable set to really make the party pop.

The craft activity was build and paint your own bird house and of course we had an Easter Egg Hunt. A fun and happy way to welcome Spring and celebrate Easter!

St. Patrick's Day FREEBIE Printable Set

I've got a fun new FREE set of printables just in time for celebrating ST. PATRICK'S DAY! And we're lucky enough to have Cris McGrath of Crissy's Crafts style the set with her sweet children, too. Cute ideas for class parties and all your Irish celebrations!

The ST. PATRICK'S DAY PRINTABLES set includes lots of great printables like a banner, centerpiece sign, cupcake toppers, drink flags, treat bag toppers, drink wraps and Hershey Kiss circles, too.

Cris tells us some details about her party styling:

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, now is the time to start planing your get together! Amanda's Parties to Go and I teamed up to help make the festivities easy and fun for you! With the FREE St. Patrick's Day Printable Set, the party a breeze to style.

I created a colorful sweet/snack table for the kids with a rainbow backdrop made out of ribbons and displayed the banner from the set. Using the icons from the printable set, I creates the center pieces for the the sweet table and the kids table.

Circle tags included in the set and ribbon were used to dress up the candy containers. I also used the tags to embellish the popcorn containers. The rainbow flags were added on the kabobs sticks and lollipops for an extra pop of color.

As for healthy snacks, the guests enjoyed leprechaun whole wheat sandwiches, rainbow fruit kabobs, veggies and orange juice. After their lunch, the children had fun making rainbow necklaces and finding gold coins around the backyard. It was finally time to enjoy some sweets! Rainbow cupcakes, M&M's, Hershey's kisses, lollipops and cinnamon popcorn were enjoyed by all!

Instead of the traditional rainbow and pot of gold favor, I created a cute favor by dressing up green pails using cupcake wrappers, filling them with gold coins and finishing up by adding a rainbow lollipop. Each child also took home a rainbow notebook, rainbow crayons, shamrock necklace, shamrock headband and tattoos.

I hope these ideas and the FREE printable set offer help you plan your own St. Patty's Celebration!
