It's all snails and puppy dog tails around here most of the time since I have a son. For my little guy's 6th birthday bash it was all about the green. Green Army Men that is!!
With, of course, my buds at
Sweet Cakes by Rebecca we created a table that was the envy of every boy at
Golfland Sunsplash in Roseville two weekends ago. Lasertag and all ... the boys had an absolute blast!
The cake! Can I just begin with the cake? Is that cake not amazing??? Our birthday inspiration began with the little green Lego army men from Toy Story 3 and their jeep. And in true Sweet Cakes fashion they took it to a whole new level. Jeep Cake, Chocolate Cake Pops, Medallion Sugar Cookies, Gummy Army Guys ... ummmm, awesome!!
And it wouldn't be a SJD party without papery & all the little details! I accessorized the sweets with star medallion tags, green army men, table decor, balloons, dog tags at each place setting, cracker jack bags, favor bags, paratroopers, camouflage details ... and more! Came up with theme inspired names for the sweets ... like Cracker Bullets for the Cracker Jacks, Chocolate Cake Grenades for the cake pops, Atomic Sugar Cookies for the cookies ... those were fun to think up!
The invite was really fun ... we actually hand delivered them to all the guests! I stuffed little camo canteens with draft notices that gave all the party particulars. Finished off the canteens with a little dog tag ... complete with each guest's name.
Complete theme party packages are available!!! Give us a ring!

I have sooooo many invitations that I haven't photographed yet - some going back to early 2008! I dragged out the giant invitation archive last night and decided, on a whim, start organizing it all. And then this morning I needed to shoot some of my finds.
This mostly came out of a need to catalog and store each invitation in a way that I can easily share them at consultations. And the organizing pressure is on since Martha and I move into the newly renovated meeting space next weekend (well that's the goal anyway!). More on that later. We are soooo excited!!
Invitation for a favorite client of mine who, together with her sister, hosted a reception in honor of their brother's recent wedding in Thailand. I was all about the envelope liner on this invite and really loved how the color palette came together - the muted colors with that crazy pop of limey-yellow.
Double sided postcard invitation for a house warming party. The Dupras Family, also a previous wedding client of mine, hosted a down-home country shindig at their new diggs. As simple as this invitation was - it is on my list of all-time favorites.
I have to admit I am already thinking about the holidays! This invite was for a holiday party celebrating new ownership & renovation of the salons. I don't know what it is about the holiday season that makes me feel like I need to glitter everything in sight!
I have to say one of my favorite clients of all time - the Ciapessoni Family ordered these invitations for a 60th birthday celebration. It's always a creative challenge designing an invitation for the dude's out there and still keep my girl-y little twists in there.
My son's 4th birthday invitation. We loooooove Scooby around here. Seems like I never get the time to really go nuts on my own party invitations - boo, hoo. I'm always trying frantically to get them done in the midst of everything else going on.
Feelin' the tiki torches yet? This was a super-quick invite for my good friends, The Braner Family. Ashli graduated high school this year and they hosted a BBQ beach inspired bash.
This one was fun! Introducing the double sided invite. One side girly - one side all boy. My friend Coleen has twins and triplets. Yes! I know. For the twin's, Falyne and Karson, 5th birthday I came up with the double sided invite - you choose who's party your attending - one event two invites all in one.
Sooooo, that's it for this morning. As I go through the rest of the archive, I'll pull more invites - photograph 'em and post 'em up!
