Yellow and white inspired Birthday Party

Our friend and talented photographer, Manus of Manus Chau Photography, was very hands-on for his daughter, Julia, 3rd birthday! Even though there were only a handful of little girls celebrating the big day with Julia, Manus and his wife Annette still threw Julia a party that was put together with lots of love. From cute handmade necklaces to delicious goodies and treats, there is no other way to celebrate!!!

Great job, Manus and Annette!

A Paper Record Wedding Invitation-Yes! It Plays Music!

Discovered this amazing and unique wedding invitation on Swiss Miss. It is incredibly ingenious with a wonderful design to boot. It is a booklet-style invitation designed with some paper-folding that amplifies the sound of a sewing needle moving along the grooves of a flexidisc record. This brilliant design was done by Kelli Anderson and she even has a video demo of it in action. So there's only one question to be asked, "Does your wedding invitation make music?"


Check out the demo!

Wood-Engraved invitations and favors

After seeing the beautiful wood-engraved tags on Oh, Hello Friend, I had to go see RobertoSand's work for myself.

From Oh, Hello Friend's Wedding

He had an array of different pieces including wood engraved wedding invitations.
Gorgeous detail!

What great wedding favors ideas. If only he was around when I got married. Love these wooden airplane favors. Pricing is also very reasonable!

Red Egg & Ginger Party Ideas

Being of Asian descent, traditionally a Red Egg and Ginger party is thrown in celebration of a baby's 100th day. While I am opting to design and print my own invites, I went online to find some ideas and honestly couldn't find many that weren't either overtly Asian or too cheesy.

However, I did find some that I thought were really fun and unique. For those of you looking to spice up your Red Egg and Ginger party, here's a compilation of some of my fave ideas. I'll post up ours once it's printed =)

Adorable invites from Good on Paper.

This has got to be one of my favorite finds. A red crocheted egg found on Eden and Elliot.
It's soooo cute!!For decor, some easy paper flower tutorials like this one from Dozi Design.

...Or for the table. Found on Pinterest.

Cute and simple cake found on Cake Central.

Not everything has to be Asian-themed. Even just utilizing the red color can make a real impact like this dessert table on Pen and Paper Flowers.

Let me know if you guys out there in the blogsphere have more ideas!
