{Celebrate Earth Day} 5 Eco-Friendly Online Party Shops I Love

As a party planner, I love using items more than once.  I try to keep my use of paper products to a minimum and reduce, reuse and recycle!  So, to celebrate Earth Day today I am listing five online party supply sites that are environmentally friendly, aware or conscious!  

Acme Partybox Company 

Acme's motto is  "Party. Rinse. Repeat." - everything you find on this environmentally responsible site is just super cute!  I'm loving these wool felt crowns!  You can hold onto them from year to year and they don't have to be just for parties.....they can be used for dress up, pretend play and more!

Green Party Supplies

Touted as  the 'source for green party supplies, eco-friendly, non-toxic toys and gifts from recycled, biodegradable, organic, eco- friendly, forest friendly or reusable items for any celebration' Green Party Supplies offers a wide array of trendy and modern party supplies that will take your birthday decor from drab to fab!  I'm a HUGE fan of these bamboo paper straws....perfect for a Asian, Garden or Ninja themed celebration!

Green Planet Parties

Created by a mom who was concerned about the amount of waste generated from kid's parties, she created a site providing 'sustainable, but fun supplies for kids parties!'  On this site you will find handmade items made by local artists, reusable decor and pre-made goody bags you will just adore!  Check out this DIY yo-yo kit - kids can decorate as they please and who doesn't love a yo-yo?!!!!

Eco Party Time
Another great site with a huge variety of reusable favors and party supplies, Eco Party Time helps create  'celebrations for a greener tomorrow.' A purely sustainable product, these bright colored beeswax birthday number candles are the perfect cake topper!

Cupcake Wishes & Birthday Dreams!

YES!!!!  My Etsy shop has MANY eco-friendly options available to keep our Mother Earth a bit happier.  You can find reusables like yarn pom-pom garlands, toppers and favor wands.  I also offer printables where you can print out how as many and as much paper decor as you need!

Remember, every small thing you do to save the planet has a great impact.  How are you celebrating Earth Day today?

{Happy Customers} Splish Splash Pool Party & Yarn Pom Pom Garland

I get all giddy when my Etsy customers send me photos of their parties featuring my party decor!

Angela, ordered a custom pom garland for her sons' pool party.  She was kind enough to share the link to the party  from her blog.  You can see the garland hanging against the  really fantastic backdrop she made to dress up the indoor pool area where the party was thrown.

Thanks, for sharing your fab & fun party with my readers, Angela.  I've now added that garland to my Etsy shop and have aptly named it  the Splish-Splash Yarn Pom Pom Garland.

{Etsy Shop} NEW ITEMS! Pretty Poms, Parties to Go & Halloween Printables!

While you await my latest Craft Room Update ;) I thought I would share some long overdue 'NEW' items that I've recently added to the Etsy shop!

Can you believe I created this Abby Cadabby inspired POOF!  Pom wand over a year and a half ago????
 

I've made several rainbow garlands for custom orders in the past year.....and now I'm finally adding them to the shop, YAY!

This fun carnival/circus inspired items are part of one of my ready-made party-to-go collections.  Remember when I used them in this vendor event display?

Finally, these Halloween printables were created for recent party I styled for MG Party Impressions.

Hope you enjoyed taking a peek at the new items and please feel free to stop by the shop and take a look at some of the other fun party items available.

Thanks!

{Whatever Wednesday} Featured: Humpty Dumpty Inspired Party on Hostess with the Mostess Blog

Earlier this year Cupcake Wishes & Birthday Dreams collaborated with Stefanie Nieves of The Petite Soiree on a Humpty Dumpty inspired party.  I was excited to see that Stefani's party was featured on Hostess with the Mostess today!

I created a fun yarn pom pom garland and handmade hats (can't wait to add these to the shop) especially for the party.

Stefani did such an amazing job and I just love how everything came together.  Please head over to HWTM for more details!
