This follow-up post to Lottie’s Fashion Palooza has been a long time coming! Some things just keep getting pushed down the To Do list!! I didn’t want to not share this game with you, though. Mainly because we invented what I think is the best EVER girl party game. Even better than this one… remember…
Other people’s parties: Football party
Before the World Cup passes me completely by, I thought I’d better share this glorious football party by Amy at Giggleberry Creations. I’ve loved Amy, her business and her blog for many years now – as a matter of fact, whenever I’m feeling a bit down, the word ‘giggleberry’ is the one I use to…
Lottie’s fabulous fashion palooza
When I posted the invitations to Lottie’s fashion palooza, I mentioned that I was struggling with the whole concept of a ‘fashion’ party for a six year old. And only just-turned six at that! I thought long and hard about how to pull off a party that was suitably grown-up in Badoo’s eyes, but not…

Max’s Lord of the Flies, I mean Minecraft party

In the meantime, it looks like this… Perfect planning makes perfect parties. Here are loads of tips to help you feel confident. …
Other People’s Parties: DIY Lego Party
In honour of The Lego Movie being out all over town for the holidays, I thought I’d kick off my new mum-party-tastic series (obviously featuring Other People’s Parties) with Emma’s brilliant Lego Party. I’ve been mates with Emma from Frog, Goose and Bear for years now (it’s funny how it sneaks up on you!). You…
DIY Free Printable Minecraft Party Invitations
We are getting ready for Max’s upcoming Minecraft Party and the invites have been sent out. This is the first time we sent an email invitation, rather than paper. It seemed fitting for a Minecraft party. I created a new image for each kid and emailed each one individually. I like a personal approach. Download…
Pin of the Day: The kids’ table
It’s probably just my love of kids’ parties coming out, but don’t you adore a kids’ table at a grown up event? So often it’s an overlooked aspect of a function, but you can have so much fun with it, just like at this wedding featured on Style Me Pretty. So sweet, but oh for…
Arabella’s flower garden party
Last weekend Arabella hosted 15 of her buddies at her flower garden party. These were the same group of girls who charmed us at last year’s slumber party – just the nicest, sweetest group of girls and it was a pleasure to spend time with them all. For a bit of fun, I made head scarfs for…
