It’s A Robo-Party

by Tasha on February 26, 2010

Ever since Buzz Light Year and the Iron Giant warmed kids’ hearts years ago, kids have developed a growing fascination in these cute automatons. That’s why I instantly fell in love with this Robot Party theme from Hostess with the Mostess. And it was only right that I put a Cardstyle twist on this fabulous party idea. So I gathered a few robot-themed activities and accessories as an inspiration for your kid’s next birthday party.

Robot Costume Contest. Provide cardboard boxes with holes cut out for the arms and the head, have square cut-outs of construction paper ready to glue to the sides of the box, and have buttons and other accessories for the kids to design their unique costumes.

Ryan used one of our most popular sets, the Pink and Gray Elephant stationery, to thank Jewels and Pinstripes for their gift to her new baby girl.

The Sweetest 16th

by Tasha on February 19, 2010

Inspired by MTV’s hit show My Super Sweet Sixteen, I thought it’d be a great idea to create a DIY Sweet Sixteen party guide. After her wedding and prom, Sweet Sixteen is probably every girl’s most anticipated celebration. And now that MTV has filled teens’ heads with extravagant, celebrity Sweet 16 bashes, your job as a money-conscious party planner has become that much harder. But don’t fret, we have all that you need to throw a fabulous, economically-friendly Sweet Sixteen Party right here!
