My Favorite Flair To Make A Birthday Celebration Pop

September 20, 2024 · In: Celebrations, Children, Everyday, Gifting, Holidays

Birthday Celebration

DOOR HANGERS

I love a festive front door wreath or decorative hanger as part of a birthday celebration, as well as sweet options for the girls bedroom doors. We have Home Themed Home hangers for nearly every occasion and the simple balloon motif is the one we pull out for birthday celebration week! I also have embroidered banners that work great whether you use them on a door, or on the back of a chair for a birthday dinner. It’s even portable if you happen to be traveling.

DRINK STIRRERS

These stirrers are new to my arsenal and are great to have on hand for celebrating any age. Once again, they’re easy to transport, which is nice if you need to party on the go for any reason. You can even get super personalized with your stirrers and send in a headshot of your choice. It could be a beloved pet (maybe even in a birthday hat!) or a vintage throwback photo of the birthday boy or girl! Plus, they’re great for more than just birthdays! Reunions, retirements, bachelorettes, baby showers, football season, holidays – they’d be the perfect touch! Use code GRACE10 to save on any purchase over $40. 

ON-DEMAND PAPER PERSONALIZATION

Sign up for Paper in a Pinch to get themed paper suites on demand from the digital library! Your monthly membership gets you access to a huge selection of pretty paper goods that can be immediately personalized and printed out at home or you can send it to your favorite professional printer. This printer is the BEST by the way!  Or sometimes we’ll print out big block letters on 5×7 cardstock that say HAPPY BIRTHDAY (whoever’s birthday we are celebrating) and have the girls decorate and color it in to make our own banners like the princess-themed shield from Margaret’s 5th birthday. 

CUSTOM BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION CUPS: 

There are tons of customizable cup options out there but I’ve most frequently ordered from this site, as well as these Katie Corley cups to match Catherine’s invitation last year. Lastly, we’ve been testing out the Amazon options where you can upload your own graphic, and the delivery times are so quick! 

SUNGLASSES, HEADPIECES & SASHES:

If you know me, you’ve probably seen me in Happy Birthday sunnies! I keep these on hand to bring to birthday celebrations, tie on to gifts, and add fun flair on the go! Those plus headpieces like these and these and of course, sashes, make any birthday boy or girl feel extra special! 

NUMBERED CANDLE HOLDERS:  

The smallest touches can make the biggest impact and reusable these silver number candle holders do just that! Whether you’re celebrating 4 years or 44, you can personalize any treat with these! I’ve been known to pack them or stuff them in my purse and sneak back to the kitchen if we’re out for a meal, or even at home! We put it in a pile of beignets when we celebrated Catherine’s birthday in New Orleans the year we evacuated to Texas! I also spotted these adorable Tricia Lowenfield candle holders too. Those or a customized birthday plate that can be used each year, would make a unique gift too!

EMBROIDERED BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION HATS:

Not only do we have embroidered birthday hats for Margaret and Catherine, we also have some miniature hats that are perfect for American Girl dolls and beloved stuffies. They are fun to pull out throughout the year for impromptu celebrations and add a touch of whimsy. These crowns from Petite Keep are also precious and can be personalized for a variety of occasions, not just birthdays!

- sometimes I feel so ill from them I literally have to leave, even if it's a place I really want to be (👀 Homegoods I'm looking at you) 
- loud chewing, smacking, slurping, hiccups, my personal hell 
- immediately I'm panicked, was there an accident or did you see a roseate spoonbill in the yard, please give me context 
- this will send me over the edge because what do you mean I'm already running late and overwhelmed but now I've ripped off my belt loop because I walked too close to the door frame and got caught 

The opposite of a horror movie? Anything I wear from @francesvalentine like this embroidered caftan because they believe in beautifully made pieces and inclusive sizes which is why I've been a customer for years!
