Girls Christening Party Supplies

The Christening of your child is a significant event for many families, and a wonderful celebration to bring people together. I remember fondly the Christening day of each of our children…here is a photo from our youngest child’s Christening in 2017. I believe it is a milestone to be celebrated!

 

 

We’ve seen a big trend in recent years for this special occasion to have as much style as a themed birthday party, with one of the most popular trends being a pink and gold colour scheme for girls.

So here’s our finds from our clever LLC Members to help you plan your upcoming Christening for your little girl.

5 must-know tips when planning your child’s party cake!

Choosing your celebration cake for your kids party, Christening or baby shower shouldn’t be hard. Here are some tips to make the process a little bit easier thanks to talented baker Catie of  Sweetly Baked Perth

 

1. Make a wish list

Before you meet with your baker, make sure you have an idea about what you like and what you don’t like. Meeting your baker with a list of what you love, what you like and what you would never ever want, helps with clear communication between you and your baker.

Bring with you decoration designs, invites, colour swatches etc that you’ll be using throughout your celebration to help with design ideas.

Keep in mind though, every baker has their own style and set of design skills and most won’t copy a cake exactly, especially if it is another baker’s hard work and ideas.

 

2. Research

Not all cake makers are the same. Some can create amazing sugar flowers and fondant creations, while others choose to only work with buttercream.

Ask for pictures of previous work, stalk social media and read the comments, look at the cake-maker’s website and see if that particular baker makes cakes in the styles that you like. Send them through pictures of what you like, and ask if they have made something similar beforehand. They will let you know if it’s something they can do.

3. Budget

Consider your budget! Be realistic about what you can and can’t afford.

You might really want that embellished seven-tier cake, but if it doesn’t fit in your budget, don’t be afraid to ask your baker for alternative suggestions that still give a wow factor. A good cake decorator will make helpful suggestions, while still meeting your cake dreams.

4. Flavour

Choose something that YOU will enjoy, not what you think others will like. Most of the time, you’ll end up with leftover cake and you’ll be the one eating it! Double check with your baker if they charge extra for “premium flavours and fillings”. Not everyone does, but it is something to keep in mind.

Most bakers will also offer cake samples/tasting boxes (usually for a fee that is deducted from the total if you go ahead with the order). Take the opportunity to taste cakes and meet with the baker if you can.

5. Something Different

Is someone attending your celebration who might not be into cake? Are you not that into cake yourself?

There are lots of alternative on offer if you’re one of those people. You could go for cupcakes, sugar cookies, baked donuts, bite size brownies, dessert cups.

All these things look and taste delicious and will still give you that awe-inspiring dessert table.

 

Thanks to Catie from Sweetly Baked Perth for these fantastic tips!  As you can see from the images above, her creations are gorgeous! If you’re in Perth you can get in touch with her here!

Paw-some Puppy Party

They’re cute, fluffy, make great friends, and as it turns out – a great party theme too!

Puppies have hit the party scene in a big way, from everyone’s favourite Paw Patrol characters to adopt a puppy concepts. It’s a theme that’s here to stay and is a great party theme for kids of all ages and perfect for anyone who loves their pup or begging mum and dad for one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

With so many possible variations of this theme, we’ve found some simple supplies from our LLC Vendors to help get you inspired. Just pick a puppy and run with it. Remember to CLICK on any of the below images to be taken to that business!

Puppy party invitations

A puppy party theme can be as subtle or over the top as you can like. Using characteristics we can all associate with puppies like bones or paw prints in your invitations is a great way to set the scene, leaving the puppies as the focus for the main event.

 

 

 

 

 

Puppy party decorations

A Puppy party theme suits either a neutral colour scheme similar to your pup of choice, or one with pops of colour. We love the idea of an adopt a puppy station with collar making and certificates, so use this as your focus and make it fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puppy party tableware

We have seen an example of dog bowls used as tableware for this theme, but if it’s not exactly what you had in mind, there’s plenty of puppy themed or neutral tableware to choose from too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puppy party cakes and accessories

Just like their puppies, owners love their treats! So make them puppy themed with cute paw print accessories and puppy inspired cakes and cookies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puppy party favours

Sending guests home with a doggy bag filled with treats and puppy inspired favours is a great end to a fantastic day. Don’t forget your puppies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lets the kids do some ceramic painting at the party and take home their creation for their party favour!

 

 

 

 

This is such a great paw-ty idea for kids with a puppy obsession!
