Monster Themed Baby Shower

This adorable MONSTER THEMED BABY SHOWER was submitted by Christina Christian of Something Chic Party and Event!

Christina said this about planning the party- “This Little Monsters themed baby shower was inspired by the Ikea Little Monsters collection. We styled our focal point on monstrous decor items, which the mother-to-be raved about. The shower was held on a beautiful winter afternoon. Although it’s winter, she requested that we stick with the primary colors while allowing the beauty of nature take center stage. The sweet treats we package were cupcakes, Mike and Ikes, rock candy, and cookies n’ creme chocolate bars.”

Friendly Monster 3rd Birthday Party

This incredibly cute FRIENDLY MONSTER BASH THIRD BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Rachel Scott of RV Parties! I’m dying at all the adorable details! Everything just screams perfection! WHAT a darling party with so many fabulous ideas!

Rachel said this about planning the party- “This 3rd birthday party was monstrously-fun to style! Our “little monster” birthday boy is energetic and happy so our monsters had to be too! From the bright and happy monster decorations to the coloring wall–it certainly was a party tailored for toddlers that was cheerful and fun!

Kiddos snacked on one-eyed monster cruffle pops, bright sprinkled chocolate covered pretzels, cupcakes and a three-tiered cake by Got What It Cakes–specially customized in the party’s theme and adorned with fondant monsters. The birthday boy ate his confections on a custom printed plate by RV Parties in the monster party pattern.

Coordinating fabric was printed in the party design and used to make a number “3″ birthday shirt and runners for the tables. Monster silhouettes popped up throughout the party–as confetti on the table, framed pictures on the wall and garland in the doorways. Googly eyes were a quick and easy way to bring additional elements into the party theme — and they’re so fun, who could resist putting them on everything!?

Our favorite part was the large-scale wall decor. The backdrop for the dessert table was a 3′x4′ vinyl banner which now decorates the birthday boy’s room! All the little monsters loved grabbing washable crayons from the coloring table to doodle on the coloring walls.

Favors included monsters knitted with hand dyed yarn, gumballs and a jar of coordinating jelly beans–as well as a family picture in the monster photo booth. And we loved the other elements brightening the favor table–a yarn wrapped H and a cute monster gumball machine!”

Real Parties: Monster Mash Bash Halloween Party

Today’s wonderful winning party feature goes to this

Monster Mash Bash Halloween Party

submitted by Spaceships and Laser Beams!

What a fun blue and yellow halloween party {which features 100% original hand drawn artwork}!

Spaceships and Laser Beams specializes in providing party items and supplies just for BOYS!

Their belief is that there is so much amazing stuff out there for little girls, but selection is very limited for boys. {So true.}

The Monster Mash Bash printable collection features a unique blue and yellow color palette. This untraditional color choice and classic monsters add sophistication and make it perfect for a party where guests will span generations.

Going beyond the usual witches, spiders or trick or treat motif, the vintage feel will feel hip to younger guests and nostalgic to your, let’s say, more mature ones.

You can purchase this whole printable Monster Mash Bash collection on etsy here!

The entire collection features an invite, 13 different circle designs from two to seven inches in diameter, cupcake wrappers, food labels and a cute placemat. The food labels, which have been designed as speech bubbles, are very out of the box and allow you to exercise your creativity. They would also make an excellent name tag. Can’t you just see the one with Dracula saying “I vant you to meet Nathan”?

So cute!

Thanks so much for your submission, Stephanie!

Congrats on being the winning party feature today!
