Kid’s Birthday Party Planning Inspiration: Candy Shop Theme

Kid’s Birthday Party Planning Inspiration: Candy Shop Theme

Happy Wednesday friends! It’s time for another party planning inspiration post and today is a good one! I found SO many cute & creative ideas on pinterest for this theme and couldn’t wait to put this post together.
This week’s theme is Candy Shop! What kid wouldn’t want a candy themed birthday party?
To start this party off is, of course, the invitation! Not going to lie, this is one of my favorite invitation designs in my collection…
Like I said above I found some amazing party decor ideas on pinterest! I’m going to try my best to find all the original links for each photo for yall….so let’s get started! All the images I are fun & creative ideas that would fit different budgets. I love the idea of a “candy bar” theme and it would be pretty simple to do! I think the only thing that would get costly is how much you wanted to decorate it. It would be super easy to find clear glass jars at the dollar store and fill them up with different kinds of colorful candy! I also found some cute clear scoops from Amazon (keep scrolling for those!). Another fun idea
Another fun idea is that cupcake in a cup with candy at the bottom, that would be a perfect way to hand out caupcakes or as a take home treat!
How fun and colorful are those party inspiration pictures?! It makes me want to plan a candy themed party right now just so I can decorate.
So where do you buy fun candy themed party decorations? Of course local party shops are a great place to start and if you are looking for some fun extras my go-to place is Amazon (even better if you have amazon prime).
Local party shops would be great fo get colorful solid colored plates, napkins, cups & silverware. All you would need to do for those to fit this theme is to get different colors for each item to make them stand out and match with all the colorful candy and decor!
Check out these fun Amazon finds for a candy themed party:
 
My favorite is that little cardboard candy shop booth! That would not only be perfect for the party but also in the kid’s playroom afterward.
I hope you enjoyed this party planning post and found some inspiration! I would love to hear your candy shop party ideas & if you end up doing this theme!

Party Planning for a Baby Shower or Kid’s Birthday Party: Boots & Bows Party

Party Planning for a Baby Shower or Kid’s Birthday Party: Boots & Bows Party

One of my favorite party themes is Boots & Bows! It is not only perfect for a gender reveal party, a baby shower but it can also be used for a girls birthday party.
My Boots & Bows invitation has been super popular lately for baby showers (so many twins right now!) but the wording can easily be changed to say “Boots or Bows” for a gender reveal party or the colors can be changed to have it be a birthday theme for the cowgirls!
Here are some fun party inspiration pictures I found on Pinterest to help you get some ideas if you are planning on hosting a party with this theme.

Understanding File Formats (the ones you need to know)

Understanding File Formats (the ones you need to know)

File formats can be tricky if you are not used to working with them often. As a designer, I use all of these files on a daily basis and sometimes forget that my customer might have no clue what I am talking about when I ask for a vector file or I am sending them a ".PNG file". I thought I would take a couple minutes and break down some of the most common file formats, what they are used for and some other tips & tricks that might be helpful for you!

Some other tips & tricks that are good to know:

Hopefully, this little description helped you to understand some of the most common file formats! So when you are working with a designer (whether for business or personal) you know what we are talking about! These tips are also great to know when printed images, creating little graphics for social media, etc.

What file formats do you use the most?
