Airplane invitation: Not just for small children!

Remember the airplane invitation I created for my son's birthday?  Not just for children's parties!

Alexandria, 15, emailed to inquire about the airplane invitation.  To celebrate her 16th birthday, she chose not to have a large party, but instead have a very special unique outing with girlfriends.

Her parents celebrated their daughter's love of flying by taking the money they would've spent on a party and renting two planes and instructors to give Alexandria and 7 of her friends their first lesson in flying.

Alexandria used this invitation to send to her 7 friends.  Instead of the childlike logo, she placed a picture of each friend on the invitation.  Great idea!

Happiest of birthdays, Alexandria!  

The airplane invitation and logo is available for purchase in the Everyday Celebrating store. 

Cake postcard mail

See this yummy cake?

 

Can you believe it's a postcard?

 

Too cute!  And they can totally be sent through the regular mail by paying the parcel rate instead of the envelope/postcard rate.

Who do you know that would get a kick out of receiving one of these?

Candy Buffet

You'll definitely want to click on this photo to see this candy buffet up close.  Gorgeous topiaries and beautiful linens add to the apothecary jars filled with treats in orange hues.

I love the clear square vase that holds the treat bags.  Add a vinyl monogram to the vase for a personalized touch.

Caramel Apple Bar!

Have your friends over for a simple fall DIY dessert!

Start with fresh apples with sticks already inserted. 

Set up a fondue pot of melted caramel along with several ramikins of toppings:  peanuts, crushed oreos, pretzel pieces, sprinkles, raisins, etc.

Great for a child's fall birthday party activity too!

Add height with color: hand painted glasses

Remember those peacock place cards I posted a few days back?
Wouldn't they look fabulous on these?

Hand painted wine glasses!  Beautiful!  These would make a great gift!
Buy them here.

Bubbling cranberries

Easy, festive fall/winter drink:

Equal parts champagne and cranberry juice!

Garnish with skewered cranberries!

Cupcake covers!

Want your cupcakes to look like they were decorated by a pro?  Cupcake covers!  What will they think of next?  Isn't that amazing? 

According to the seller, SugarRobot, you just put a thin layer of frosting on your cupcakes and then stick these covers on top.  They are totally edible... made of fondant!

Other versions available like these pigs...

More Martha Stewart poms - with stems!

Yet another take on the ever popular Martha Stewart pom!  Stemmed poms!

PomLove creates these stemmed poms that are perfect vase fillers.  They come fully assembled and opened.  Just pull them out of the box, drop them in a vase and you have instant decor!

These would be great for tailgating.  Get the in your team colors and no regrets tossing them at the end for easy clean-up before the game.

Love these: Halloween tabletop pennants

Love these fabric pennants by possibly and perhaps.

Perfect for a modern halloween party or a great alternative for young children who may get scared from traditional spooky decor.

They also sell other themes.  Look at these!  Great for birthday or showers!  I love the ones below. These would be a different take on easter decor.

These are also great for favors.  Give one to each child to take home!

Airplane birthday party ticket invitations
