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!

To value spontaneity and adventure. 

To love reading, and more reading, and appreciating the privilege of getting to know good characters, and new worlds. 

I love blue and white because of her. 

And I am the way I am because of this sweet woman and it's her birthday! I love you Mom, and hope this year is everything and more. And I can't wait to celebrate the best way we know how when I get back, hibachi style of course 🔪 👨‍🍳 🍤

I loved spending the evening with @melissasmrekar and our winning table mate (in more ways than one 💜) @lomurph at the most thoughtful event hosted at @thecharles by @alison.carter and company!! I even got to see my fellow SMU Kappa sister, @maryahafner who also took home a "Matt" (head to my stories if you don't know what I mean 😉) 

I'm loving the texture and updated feel this top coat is giving my manicure, and thrilled to finally get to try @downloadcherry 

Now how many hours until one of my girls steals my new polish?!? 😆

What do they put in the water in Texas? Possibly t What do they put in the water in Texas? Possibly tequila 😆 but in all seriousness, I lived in Dallas from 2005, to fairly recently when we moved back to Florida in 2018. And even though I'm a born and raised Floridian, so much of my heart feels like Texas is my home. Margaret however is a Texan by birth and she tells everyone who will listen, which seems pretty Texan of her (in the best way). 

We're here with the girls this week, seeing our special people, and of course I packed two of my favorite Texas brands, @sunshinetiendashop and @susanshaw that are both lead by stylish and talented women. 

You can shop my accessories by following me on @shop.ltk or head to my stories!
