Throw a Good Old-Fashioned Pickles and Ice Cream Baby Shower

9/29/2016

If the mother-to-be has been enjoying some crazy cravings during her pregnancy, a good old-fashioned pickles and ice cream baby shower theme might help satisfy her urges.

​Pickles and Ice Cream is also a fun idea if you want to encourage a shower that's filled with laughter and good cheer.

​Don't worry.  At the party, you don't need to serve the pickles and ice cream in the same bowl together.  Well. unless, of course, your guests are game for that.

​But it is really fun to serve these two delicious delicacies in a bunch of unique ways. 

​Think Pickle Poppers and a Make-Your-Own Sundae Ice Cream Bar.

Your decorations should follow the pickles and ice cream theme too! 

I created a Pinterest board filled with lots of great ideas to help you get the food and décor just right,

​To get things started in the right direction you'll need some cute invitations to get the gang together and to let them in on the great theme you've chosen.

Happy Friendsgiving Invitations for Fun Thanksgiving Get-Togethers

9/22/2016

0 Comments

 
Friendsgiving is one of America's newest Thanksgiving celebrations and I for one, love the idea!

If you're unaware of this fun new way to celebrate, Friendsgiving is a lot like Thanksgiving.  There's lots of food and people to share it with.

Friendsgiving is traditionally celebrated on the day after Thanksgiving when there's plenty of leftovers to go around so there's very little cooking or stress.  While Thanksgiving is usually reserved for family, Friendsgiving is a fun day to get together with your friends, give thanks and share a few laughs together.

Of course, Friendsgiving can also be celebrated at any time during the Thanksgiving Weekend.

Here's ten invites to help you celebrate a good old-fashioned newfangled Friendsgiving Day.

Millennials may be taking credit for starting this tradition but I remember watching the television show, Friends, when they had their Thanksgiving shows and I always thought how cool it was that the gang all celebrated Thanksgiving Day together.  I never even thought about it becoming a "thing" or a new tradition.

If you're planning your first Friendsgiving, keep it light and stress-free.  This one isn't so much about the food or even the turkey.    In fact, a great way to celebrate is to have everyone bring some leftover food or dessert from their own homes and enjoy the potluck bounty.

If you feel a bit more daring or have more time, make some new food using the leftover turkey and vegetables as a jumping off point.  Or if you plan it right, you can cook for both days on Thursday.

Just remember that the main thing of any Friendsday celebration is to spend quality time with your friends. 

Everything else is just topping on the pumpkin pie.

Celebrate with Friends

This smiling Retro Pumpkin Carving Party Invitation reminds us of the 1980's. He looks a bit like the Kool Aid Man, only he's a  pumpkin. OK, maybe not, but this invite is so cute and happy with an orange pumpkin face and ghoulish purple and black background.

Customize the back of this Pumpkin Carving Party invite with your own party details in neon orange and yellow with some more cute and cool pumpkins on the back.. The flat-card invites measure 5.25" x 5.25" and come with a white envelope or you can upgrade to a custom color invitation. Happy Pumpkin Carving!

Our Personalized Retro Vintage Teddy Bear Picnic Birthday Party Invitations Would Be Perfect!

Are you planning a Teddy bear picnic for the birthday of a special young lady?  If you are, these adorable invitations are the ideal choice to use for gathering her best friends and family to join the celebration.

Teddy bear birthday parties are so much fun because everyone is asked to bring their favorite plush bear along to help celebrate.

Be sure to include activities that include the bear companions and make space at the table for their stuffed friends as well.

We highly recommend this type of party for young ladies of just about any age, but this birthday party idea is also acceptable for the younger gentlemen that you know as well.  In fact, our featured invitations would work for either a boy or a girl so feel free to use them for anyone.

As you might have expected if you've ever heard the song, this cute invite design features a slew of bears gathered together in the woods having a wonderful time.  The invite uses a lovely retro vintage illustration that will have your guests wondering (and asking) where the heck you found them.

Your food choices should be anything easy to eat that you might find at a picnic and be sure to have a lot of Teddy Grahams on hand!
