{Party Trends} 2014 Top Ten Fave Party Picks - Part Two

I hope you enjoyed the fab party trends I shared in Part One of my Fave party picks for this year - as promised, here are the rest of my top pics!


Sparkle Sticks
I heart-ed these Sparkle Sticks ™  from the moment I saw them.  They are so versatile and fun.  They can be used in cake pops or as little paper wands for tiny princesses!  You can find them over at Made by a Princess.  I used some as chocolate lollipop sticks for my Christmas Wishes party!

Festive Paper Straws
I'm seeing more fabuliciousness in the paper straw world, and this girl hearts a cute paper straw.....but there are some that outshine those striped ones (which I also love too) check out the cuteness I found from The Pretty Party Shoppe 

Custom Table Runners
You know table runners will NEVER go out of style.....but CUSTOM table runners....hello!  I love the hand painted look of this one shared by E&S Paper Studio for a beach themed event.

Cut Letter Banners & Signs
They're kinda back.....and I ain't mad about it at all!  I am giddy over this glittered cut sign by SK Designs.

Chocolate Covered Popcorn
I've seen candy coated popcorn, but lately I have been seeing lots of parties with chocolate drizzled popcorn in all sorts of fun colors!   I love how Sunny Duran of Sunny By Design uses bright colors in the popcorn treats she created for her sweet daughter, Mara's Rainbow Zoo party!  They're extra special cute on account they also have sprinkles on them!

I'm loving these new trends and look forward to using some of them in my own parties this year!

{Pin-tastic Tuesday} Melon Mango Tango

Inspired by a delicious cocktail I saw on another Pinterest board, I created these soft but vibrant colors to use in an upcoming party set.  They remind me of something very tropical....and now all I can think of is watermelon margaritas, white sand, and gentle breezes!

I created a Pinterest board with these colors in mind.  You can find direct links to the photos under the collage and a link to my board here.

Button Gift Packaging
Melon Rumballa
Orange Cake
Paper Straws
Chervon Paper Sacks

I can't wait to whip up a summertime party set using these colors - I love them!

Straw Happy!

I am in love with paper straws!  I'm seeing them everywhere!!!  I ordered these babies last week for an event in April from the Sugar Diva:

My first infatuation with them was when I noticed them here.  Then I tried to find some and I could only find 3 basic colors and they were priced a bit high. Since then, however, I have seen them gain a lot of popularity. As a matter of fact, I just read a post about them here just today on Bakerella's site. I heart the way she used them in her milkshake cupcakes.

I also ordered summadeez too for Valentine's Day:

I can't wait till my order arrives, be sure to check out more of the fun party items available on the Sugar Diva's site.  The party goods are way too cute and priced just right!
