Ultimate Gamer Party Ideas

Posted in Childrens Party, Party Inspiration by

Are you a gamer? Do you know a gamer? I bet you answered yes to at least one, if not both, of those questions. I myself belong to multiple fandoms and gaming communities on various platforms. I’ve been a gamer of some sort since I was little……and I see no end in sight! There’s really a game out there for everyone, and always something new coming out soon to revolutionize the industry that you just have to play.

This week’s inspiration came from this “Computer Geek” printable party kit available on UncommonGoods.

It was when I was first approached by UncommonGoods to do the product review and giveaway that I first discovered these party kits. Be sure to check out their other kits HERE. They are not your average run-of-the-mill pretty printable kit, oh no, they are nothing you’ve seen before in a party printable. I love the designers unique twist on the themes and can’t wait to see more.  Oh – if you don’t know about the giveaway going on, CLICK HERE TO CATCH UP AND ENTER!

Here’s what I had in mind for this party inspiration:

Vibrant Summer Birthday Party Idea for Her

Posted in Birthday Party, Party Inspiration by

It’s later in the day – the sun is still shining. The guests are starting to arrive, and the music is the background to great conversation. The drinks are cold and the aromas of sensational food are sifting through the air. The mood is light and upbeat, with the sun shining in through the windows. A bottle of champagne is popped and the toasts for the guest of honor start.

That’s the sort of mood I’m envisioning for this week’s inspiration board. I really want something bright. Something up beat. Something high energy with a relaxed undertone. Here’s what I had in mind:

Sugary Sweet Pastels + Jelly Beans – Baby Shower Ideas

Posted in Baby Shower Ideas, Party Inspiration by

Ahhhhh yes. The smell of sugar.

You know what I’m talking about. At some point in your life you’ve opened up a bag of your favorite sweet treat and inhaled the sugary scent that was released. And you totally loved it. I would go so far as to say you even had a smile on your face after.

A lot of mommy-to-be ladies out there share a similar smile, for obviously more legitimate reasons – I mean they are making a tiny human after all – but they still are happy and smiling and full of positivity.

Those emotions are what sparked the inspiration for this sugary sweet baby shower inspiration board. Here’s what I had in mind:

This week there has been so much rain here in central Florida, everything is starting to grow in lush and full. Flowers are sprouting up in my garden bringing some much needed color to the area.

I really wanted to do something bright and cheery for this week’s idea board, and after hearing that today is apparently National Jelly Bean Day, I just had to do something like this for the weekly idea board. Here’s what I had in mind for this spring time baby shower:

Bird’s Nest Inspired Easter Morning Brunch

Posted in Holiday Inspiratoin, Party Food, Party Inspiration by

Welcome!

Today I have a sweet treat for you: I’ve put together a spring inspiration board, perfect for your Easter brunch. It must have been from all of the time I spent on last week’s speckled egg inspiration board, but I felt like I really needed to share an inspiration board as fresh as the meaning of spring, with pops of color, and perfect for Easter. It was when I saw this adorable bird’s nest cake on Pinterest that I knew I had to go with this theme. I’ve even included it in my inspiration board. Here’s what I had in mind:

Speckled Blue Egg – Spring Engagement Party Ideas

Posted in Engagement Party, Party Inspiration by

Good Morning!

Today’s inspiration board is spring inspired! I’ll be honest; I had a tough time with this board. Not the concept, no that was easy, I had a hard time narrowing down the TYPE of event. I really wanted to do a “speckled egg” inspired board. But what type of event to choose? My gut tells me it would be an adorable play on the traditional “love birds” engagement party, especially during the spring time. Other runner up ideas included this as a baby shower, bridal shower, luncheon, and a birthday party. Really the sky is the limit!

Here’s what I had in mind for this theme:

So guess what? Tomorrow is apparently National Baked Scallops Day. Who knew that was a thing?

I’m from Florida, so I know the deliciousness to be savored when feasting on fresh seafood. I couldn’t resist putting together a scrumptious dinner party menu for this week’s inspiration board. And no party of mine is complete unless there’s wine!
