Perfect 1st Birthday Gift Idea

I am going to a 1st birthday party this weekend for my friends little boy Gabe! Since Gabe is growing into such a big 'little' boy, I thought a custom placemat would be a great gift idea for him. These are perfect for a place setting or keeping the table clean during a messy project when kids get a bit older. And they wipe clean so easily.

All of the placemats can be ordered with two styles on front and back. Here are the styles I picked out for Gabe (Alphabet and Choo Choo).

Bring on the rain!

Spring is here! At least it is in North Carolina anyways. The temps are perking up and we're getting much needed rain showers this weekend. Early spring reminds me of rain and flowers! Get your umbrellas and wellies ready.


These styles are so perfect for this time of year! Shop at www.kburch.paperconcierge.com

Are you a classic or trendy bride?

Do you consider yourself a classic bell of the ball or a trend setting fashionista? Maybe you fall somewhere inbetween. In today's world of weddings as 'themed soirees' ... here's a new twist on an old idea ... perhaps classic has become the trend! Ahh ha :) Well you can never go wrong with core classic pieces and a non-themed wedding. You won't get tired of looking at the accesories, decor and lack of one hit wonders.

The Whimsy Scroll invitation suite by Plain Jane is a classic piece that you can rely on to set the tone for your classic non-themed yet still very trendy wedding.

Happy Birthday, Kids!

I love all the different themes that are selectively chosen to match childrens' personalities and interests these days. Options are endless! I've heard of bowling parties, zoo parties, putt-putt, laser tag, sleep overs, ice cream making, action heroes, princess, movie themes, etc.. I could go on and on but I'll stop now :)

If you're planning a birthday party this year, please let me be your personal paper assistant and help you select a great invitation and plan out your wording. Shop styles in our Birthday Invitations for Kids section.

The Emily Wedding Collection

If you're a bride who loves a neutral palate, but wants to dress it up to the nines ... check out this gorgeous design from Whitney English (found HERE). The Emily design has so many pieces that really help you form a style and motif for your special day. It comes in an array of color options, but the gold is my favorite for a simple, elegant, neutral color scheme.

Collection Pieces include:
Invitation, Small Card (perfect for accomodations, RSV and directions), notecards, return address labels, Notesheets & Clipboards, Stickers & Labels, Calling Cards.

Are you ready for some football?!!!!

Now that you know the teams, date, time, etc... go ahead and start planning that SuperBowl Party! Here are some inspiring designs from PaperConcierge for the perfect invitation!

My husband's team is a Steelers fan, so I'm contemplating throwing a party at our house this year. If the game doesn't go in his favor, than I can imagine a very pouty and foul-mouthed co-house. That's my only reservation about hosting it :(

Engagement Party ~ Time to Celebrate!

Engagement parties can be a great way to announce and celebrate your upcoming nuptuals!
Whether you are the bride + groom, maid of honor, or the parents ... should you have an engagement party? Keep reading to hear the pro's and con's given by Nina Callaway. Full article HERE.

And should you choose to throw an engagement party, please shop the great selection from PaperConcierge.

Pros:

- Announces your engagement to your closest friends + family in a fun and creative way.
- Great way for friends, family + bridal party to get to know each other.
- Any excuse for a party is a good one!

Cons:
- This process forces you to have a sense of your wedding guest list early. You can't invite someone to the engagement party, who won't be invited to the wedding.
- It's an extra event to plan and pay for.
- If you don't have a very long engagement, then it could feel cramped with your other parties/showers so close.

Spring Showers bring ... Baby Showers!

Seems like so many people are babies these days! Is it getting to me? Yeah, a little bit, I can admit to it. For now, I'll enjoy the great party themes, decor, food and of course the adorable invitations and baby announcements.

Here are a few of my favorites right now. I think the bird/tree theme is perfect for a spring baby shower. So cute!
