Introducing our newest blog sponser – Saffy & May

I’d love to introduce you to the newest blog sponser of Life’s Little Celebrations: Saffy & May who are based in Queensland (Alexandra Hills)

 

Saffy & May is a children’s party boutique, born from the love of gorgeous parties and endless inspirations from their own beautiful girls!
They have experienced first-hand, how time consuming and exhausting is to find every detail to create a gorgeous party. So they have created gorgeous themed party packs for birthday parties and special events such as baby showers, christenings, naming ceremonies and first communions. Here are 2 from their party pack range:

 

They also sell a range of party goods including:

  • Lanterns
  • Balloons
  •  Pompoms
  • Party Stationary
  • Buntings
  • Table clothes, including our gorgeous ruffle tablecloths
  • Table runners
  • Table centerpieces
  • Party bags

They also hire a range of items such as cupcake stands, table clothes, table runners, children sized table, chairs, etc.

On top of this they are also available for party styling!

Their range continues to grow and they will be launching their own party stationary in the New Year.

Please email them at saffyandmay@yahoo.com.au for further information.

Meet our Blog Sponser – Tiny Tots Toy Hire

I’m excited to introduce you to Tiny Tots Toy Hire as one of our fabulous blog sponsers.

I love this business because not only do they have fantastic toys (such as the ever popular ball pits!) but they have some gorgeous other items for hire such as unique props, drink dispensers and cute kids tables and chairs!

Since so many of us mums love to have a theme for a party it can become expensive having to buy theme specific items. So it’s great to find items that you can hire such as garden placemats, dinosaur ride on toys, pirate and fairy playhouses etc which can work into your theme but won’t take up space after the party! I also love the idea of being able to hire items such as drink dispensers which add that special touch to a table without storage issues afterward!

Have a look at some of the many items they have available and then read on to find out more about Dalia and Tiny Tots Toy Hire

 


 

 


 

 

 


As you can see, there is a WIDE variety of items they have available and I can’t wait to have some of their lovely items at my own daughter’s birthday party!

Dalia who owns and runs the business fulltime is a mum herself with 2 children (daughter 1.5yrs and 3.5yr old son). She is absolutely passionate about business and Tiny Tots in general and is friendly, warm and down to earth too (as I found out when I had the pleasure of meeting her!)

She is someone who is constantly dreaming up new ideas of ways to make her customers experience unforgettable as well as incredibly simple! Over the last few months I’ve seen the Tiny Tots range grow immensely especially with unique props – testament to the fact that Dalia is always seeking out the next unique and sought after party items to offer for hire!

She aim’s for 6 star professional service and for Tiny Tots Toy Hire to be the leaders in their field!

If you are in Sydney (or know someone else who may find these items useful) please visit the Tiny Tots Toy Hire facebook page and website. Their toys are also available to hire if you are coming to Sydney for a holiday and just want a few items to entertain the kids while you are here! Sounds perfect.

I look forward to sharing more with you about Tiny Tots Toy Hire in the future =)

Mini Blog Break

It’s just over 2 weeks until my own little daughters ‘s 1st birthday and I have decided to take a blog break so I can focus on getting ready for her celebration and enjoy this time with her!

All of you know how busy life can be leading up to a special birthday celebration, on top of all our motherly duties and other bits and pieces! So I’m sure you will understand me taking some time out from my party theme blog posts for a few weeks!

My daughters birthday is on the 21st November and I’ll be back after this and then will be launching a new Party Directory page on the blog in early Dec, where you will be able to easily find links to some great suppliers of Party products and services! If you wish to be listed please email me at lifeslittlec@gmail.com for more info =)

 

Hopefully all will go well for her celebration and everyone will have a lovely time! I’ll be putting together my first proper ‘dessert table’ so go easy on me =) I am not as talented as so many of you stylists and mum’s but I’ll do my best and more than anything – aim to enjoy the day and celebrate our daughter and celebrate the best year of our lives since she arrived =)

In the meantime, you may want to have a look through some of my previous posts that you may have missed =) For custom inspiration you can always contact me about my inspiration boards and more detailed online party planning assistance.

Thanks again for all your support and reading my blog =)
