This is a follow-up post to Kai's Paris Party. I've had some friends and family members ask me about where I got some of the stuff for Kai's party. I love to share and link sites to my blog. So here we go.
First, let me say that I know I have posted this link before, but I have to give credit where credit is due. A lot of my inspirations come from this blog here, Hostess with the Mostess. She is amazing and I read her blog faithfully. If I like something, I bookmark it, or I copy the picture and put it into a special "Party" folder on my computer for future inspiration.
The stationary party favors were purchased at Target in the $1 section. As were the bags that are on the table. I knew that they would be getting so much stuff, that they needed a bag to take the stuff home with them. The little black boxes with the ribbons were purchased at Beau Coup. All of the ribbon for the party was purchased at Ribbons and Lace in Chandler. I heart this store! I heart it A LOT!! I could live in this store....actually I could live there and many others, but that's a whole other blog post. : ) The Eiffel Tower charms on the boxes were purchased on Etsy. The poodle candy bags - the poodle candy bags were not purchased with $$ but they did cost me a pretty Penny. You see, for Buddy's birthday, we went to one of his favorite spots. We went to Dave and Busters! These poodle bags were prizes. Except that they were 320 points a piece. I wanted them as candy bags, and when I get something in my head, I have to figure it out. We started playing and playing enough to earn 7000 points so that I could get at least 20 poodles. It took a few hours and a few $20 bills, but we did it and we had fun while playing. : )
These Passports were made on Print Shop. Just using Google to find the image of an actual Passport and I copied and pasted. I e-mailed the moms, and they all sent me pictures of the kids coming to the party. The Menu's were also made on Print Shop.
My friend Cristina found me the Eiffel Tower wall decal at Cost Plus. The little suitcases were also purchased at Beau Coup. Frames for all of the french words were purchased at the $ store. Sign in matte was found at Michael's and with a coupon, was very reasonable.
The desert bar! For the jars and containers, I already had a lot of them. Some from IKEA and some from Micheal's. I ordered the cupcake tower from here. They have a few different sizes and you can pick the color ribbon that you want. The candy I ordered online line from Sweet Factory and from Candy Crate. You can shop by color. I made all of the labels on my Cricut machine. Ohhh I love my Cricut! I found a local vendor for the Cotton Candy. I bought a box of 40 1 oz bags for $18. They manufacture it in Tempe, AZ. I called them and asked them for a box of just strawberry and I picked it up the very next day. Rainbow Cotton Candy is the company. I also need to add that all 40 bags were gone by Sunday morning.
The lanterns were purchased from Asian Import Store. Very reasonable, they have every color that you can imagine and very fast shipping. I made the tissue flowers out of tissue paper, very fun and easy.
Cupcake toppers were again made with my Cricut. I made the cupcake holders using a pattern that I bought from Etsy.
Birthday banner was made from all different pattens and colors of scrapbook paper and again, I used my Cricut. You see why I love it so much.
And...that's pretty much it. Hope you enjoy the links. And have fun planning your parties!!
