If you speak to anyone under the age of 10, they are sure to know what slime is. Slime was a huge craze in 2018 with kids everywhere either playing with it or making it – or both! We are sure slime parties will continue to be popular in 2019 and we know this feature will inspire your planning!
Chantelle from Silk and Cedar Eventshas created the perfect slime party theme that kids of all ages can enjoy.
A science themed slime party full of beakers, test tubes and lab coats makes for an exciting and interesting party. Both the boys and girls were intrigued and immersed in the activities.
The desserts tables have been set up in a fun and interesting way, with lollies in test tubes, cupcake volcano and slime covered cake pops. The kids had so much fun choosing their snacks from the science tables.
Each little scientist has their own place setting with all their tools and equipment for their meal.
Each guest was equipped with their own scientist coat and glasses ready for the experiments to come.
Test tubes, syringes and droppers help put together the place settings for each guest and give an experimental and scientific feel to the table! Each guest was provided with a magical and galactic looking plate, topped with slime.
Once the food is over the fun begins. Everyone got a chance to make their own slime. Budding little scientists mixing and measuring their own personal gooey slime.
This event was organised and coordinated by Chantelle at Silk and Cedar along with a group of amazing vendors. All their services can be booked and their details are below. Check them out below.

Today we are sharing a delightful first birthday by Martina of Mar-valicious Bites. We love this unique theme and this sweet setup!
Martina tells us more about it here…
“We wanted to have a small intimate celebration for our little man Ashtyn’s 1st Birthday with close family & friends.
We kept everything beautiful but simple.
We wanted to do the theme a little different than usual….using leaves as Ashtyn absolutely loves being around leaves & nature. The baby fox was a cute addition to add we thought. Theme colours were leaf greens, white & gold.
I am lucky enough to be able to make my children’s cakes & cookies having my own cookie business called MaR-Valicious BiteS.
The cake was a 3 layered vanilla & chocolate buttercake, filled with buttercream layers & frosted with an ombre of greens in buttercream also. The additional touch was my decorated cookies with a gold baby fox, green monsteria leaves & his initial in gold.
Amazing dessert cups made by Queen of Cups. These were absolutely delicious…we had Lemon cheesecakes, passionfruit cheesecakes, white chocolate cheesecakes, nutella cheesecakes & sweet chocolate mousse with a gold strawberry on top. Thank you Natalie from Queen of Cups!
The green, gold & white balloon garland & gold confetti balloon were such a special touch to bring our dessert table together! It looked beautiful all set up! Thank you Bridal Blooms & Balloons by Kate!!
The final touch of our dessert table was the gorgeous custom wooden cake topper made by The Cupcake House! Thank you Leigh & Steve!
The cake, dark chocolate & milk chocolate chunk cookies & decorated cookies were all made by me MaR-Valicious BiteS.
We also had deliciously glazed donuts brought in by my best friend Kylie & a warm peach & raspberry cobbler made by my mum.
There isn’t much left of 2018 and as I look back it has been a big year with a few things ticked off that had been on my mind to do for this year….
The year kicked off with our Celebrate Conference day which was a huge success bringing together biz owners from around Australia for a fabulous day of networking, listening to inspirational speakers, enjoying great food and views and leaving with an amazing swag bag! Our last Celebrate Conference was in 2016 so it was fabulous to run it again!
Later in the year I also hosted the first Celebrate mini- masterclass which was something I was hoping to trial this year. Our guest was Mary Ronis and was an AMAZING day with everyone requesting MORE! Hence why we are running another on Tues 26th March with Mary and more in the future!
We had 3 issues of our magazine put together which included some amazing shoots demonstrating the talents and products from our members and I am truly so proud to be able to help bring these collaborations about!
We also hosted wonderful guests in our members monthly biz training sessions such as Astrid (Paper Playground) , Jen Lo (Bakedown Cakery), Mary Ronis (Mary Ronis Events), Amanda Lee (Sugar Sugar Cake School) as well as experts in branding, PR, copywriting, marketing and more!
This was also the year I launched “The Celebrate Society” – a new version of our membership which better summarises what this membership has evolved into! As part of the rebrand I had a fun photoshoot with Hipster Mum:
The launch of The Celebrate Society went so well, we welcomed many new members and I’m excited about 2019 and the opportunities for our members! The new launch also included a package which included some mentoring which I was excited to put out there!
In 2019 we will have more in-person Celebrate events as well as some networking events in Sydney, Queensland, Melbourne and Perth, more amazing magazine issues – while still showcasing our members on our blog, directory, social media and helping them connect and collaborate and receive business support!
Let me take this opportunity to THANK YOU for being a part of this community, following along and enjoying what I share! Thank you also to all who have been involved with Life’s Little Celebrations this year and all of our members!
I look forward to sharing more with you in 2019! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and the joy of Christmas carries through into 2019! Dream big goals for yourself as we head into a new year….anything is possible!
Are you (or someone you know) expecting a bub in 2019? Gender Reveal parties are becoming super popular and the team at Opulenticity Party & Buffet Styling put together this spring themed gender reveal.
You will LOVE this floral and bright baby shower which brings together so many clever concepts and styling ideas!:
The detail and time that has gone into setting up the event is magnificent. A very fresh, natural and spring like feel to the whole room bringing a feeling of celebration for the impending arrival!
Platters of food and drinks all looking so fresh and inviting!
Beautiful freshly made snacks and desserts presented and readily available for snacking on throughout the event. With fresh cream and fruits topping the desserts, they are hard to resist.
The detail that went into each individual piece of decor and food is perfect. Look at that cake! Showing the spring colours and almost too good to eat.
Everyone including mum to be had a lovely day celebrating together. Laughing and smiles all around.
And of course, the reveal itself!
