Rainbow Birthday Party Supplies

A rainbow party theme has to be one of the brightest, happiest party themes for any age, wouldn’t you agree? There’s just something about so much colour that makes you smile, even on a gloomy day.

 

This is one theme you can’t go wrong with when coordinating your tableware and decorations – just think bright, bold colours and as much of it as you can find! Yes, your room may end up looking like a rainbow exploded, but that’s what we’re aiming for!

We’ve seen some gorgeous examples of rainbow party theme styling this year, and to help you save time finding all the bits and pieces you’ll need to bring it all together, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite items for you to simply click and add to cart. Your welcome!

 

So let’s get this party started – and remember to CLICK on any image to be taken to where you can purchase / order that partyware from!

 

Rainbow party invitations

Turn an ordinary day into a bright one when your guests open an invitation full of colour and the fun of a rainbow party to look forward to. Choose from preprinted or customised invitations and send them in brightly coloured envelopes filled with confetti for a n added surprise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rainbow party decorations

Remember, we’re aiming for an explosion of colour, so think bold and don’t be shy. Alternatively, a table covered in a crisp white tablecloth will ensure your colourful treats and decorations shine bright, and doubles as a fluffy white cloud!

 

 

Love the concept of setting a rainbow dessert table against the black chalkboard look to make the colours really stand out!:

 

Recreate a rainbow party setting with these items to inspire you:

Rainbow party tableware

A rainbow explodes in my head when I think of how many table setting options this theme lends itself to! From cups and plates in bold primary colours, spread across the table and littered with confetti, to striped coordinated tableware on a crisp white table cloth – let your imagination go and get creative with this one. There is no such thing as too much colour!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few items for the birthday child!:

Celebrate unwrapped: the beauty of balloons

When you have a large space to decorate and with limited time – balloons are the perfect option! They create a huge impact but are easy to setup once you have collected them from your balloon supplier. So they were the perfect decoration for the Celebrate conference day where we had less than 2 hours to decorate our lovely venue.

Balloon queen Michelle of Party Splendour worked alongside Shannon of Born to Party to create balloon magic at the venue  and today I am showcasing some of Michelles amazing work on the day of Celebrate as well as some of the new balloon trends and decor she has been creating in events around Sydney:

 

 

 

You can see here how the whole room was made beautiful through the gorgeous touches of balloon decor:

 

Here is more of a sample of the gorgeousness Michelle of Party Splendour has been creating around Sydney:

 

 

Balloon walls and arches have become a popular trend for dessert table backdrops:

 

 

 

I am also loving the orb balloons as seen here in rose gold mixed with confetti balloons!

 

 

Balloon hoops are another fun trend which make such a stunning decoration:

 

 

 

Party Splendor really can create balloon magic at your next event or kids party! You can speak to them about a particular arrangement or developing something unique and custom for you.

If you’re not in Sydney you can still shop from the Party Splendour website where you will find a range of partyware and balloons.

We were so grateful to have Party Splendour on board to help create such a lovely look and ambience to the venue for Celebrate and we highly recommend their services!

 

 

 

 

Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Style

With all the Christmas preparations happening it is easy to leave NYE planning until last minute…but now is the time to organise what you need  – so to help you get organised I’m sharing some NYE party supplies early to ensure they will arrive in time!

New Year’s Eve celebrations are one of my favourite – there is something special about a new year beginning and celebrating with close family or friends!

 

 

 

Our little ones are still quite little however for those of you with slightly older kids it is a perfect chance to organise a gathering that doesn’t centre just around the kids!  It’s a chance to get together with friends and family, letting the kids stay up a little longer than usual before having a slumber party on the floor, and then it’s all about letting the adults relax into the New Year with a more adults only style occasion (aka, champagne!).

When I look back at all the many amazing new trends in themes we’ve seen this year, there’s one in particular that I’ve been saving for NYE and just screams sophistication and ‘Happy New Year’ to me, and that’s the classic black and metallics with a touch of marble. Adult opulence at it’s best!

So if like me, you’ve had a big year of parties filled with flamingos, doughnuts and unicorns and are just craving something a little more grown up, I’ve sourced the perfect pieces from our LLC Vendors to pull together the perfect New Year’s Eve celebration for the adults (and kids, until bedtime!) so you can start your planning now, and have something to look forward to after the Christmas ham is finished.

 

New Year’s Eve Decorations

Whether it’s a backyard BBQ, seafood buffet or canapés after watching the fire works, this theme looks stunning in the evening as the metallics shimmer and glisten when styled with plenty of candles, and black or metallics make a great backdrop for these to pop against in the evening.

So start with black as your base, and build on it with hints of metallic (either gold or silver) and marble accents for depth and interest. Use your marble kitchen bench top, a black trestle table or one covered with a table cloth for a more polished look, and create drama and interest with varying heights of stands and platters to serve your food, or set an opulent dinner table complete with candle light.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why not take cues from the countdown and incorporate giant helium number balloons.

 

 

Or mix and match decorations with a mix of black, white, gold

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For real wow factor, a gold sequin tablecloth creates the perfect setting for a gorgeous New years eve dessert table!:

 

 

Don’t forget the confetti at midnight! This would also look great scattered down the centre of your dining table.

 

New Year’s Eve Tableware

Whilst it’s always nice to bring out your best dinner set (you know, the one you received for your wedding that’s still in the box ?) no one wants to be washing dishes on New Year’s Day – so opt for some stylish disposables instead!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How gorgeous are these Kate Spade coasters?

 

 

 

 

 

New Year’s Eve Sweet Treats

Finish the year off with a bang and start your diet resolutions the following day – it’s time to eat cake! Nothing beats a glass of champagne and delicious dessert now, does it? Here’s a sample of what LLC partners in the Directory can create for your event!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the kids are a part of the NYE celebrations – why not setup a cute table setting for them complete with colouring, board games or other activities to keep them entertained? You can hire some stylish children’s table and chairs from LLC partners around Australia – here is a sample!:

 

 

 

How great are these take home bags? Perfect for the kids who would have missed out whilst they were sleeping!

 

 

Another fantastic idea are these labels for mini wine or champagne bottles for your friends:

 

 

Attach these tags to any take home gift for your NYE guests for instant NYE style!

 

 

Like all celebrations, New Year’s Eve is a wonderful excuse to get your nearest and dearest together and get creative with your styling. So say farewell to another big year by going bold, and celebrate the prospect of new opportunities, milestones and adventures together in style – cheers!

 

Celebrate Unwrapped: Gorgeous Signage

How your friends or guests are greeted at an event can really help set the initial tone for the celebration. So when it came to planning Celebrate I knew that some welcoming signage would ensure that attendees would not only know they were at the right place, but felt welcomed and excited!

I enlisted the help of Jo’s Signs by Designs which is THE place to get signage or banners printed for any celebration or event. They are located in Sydney but can post Australia wide.

As guests arrived at The Deckhouse we had a sign in the carpark to point them in the right direction (unfortunately I don’t have a photo of this carpark sign to show you) and then another welcoming sign at the door:

 

I just love the colours and how well they were printed on this welcome sign. All the graphics for the Celebrate signs were by Pretty and Print

 

Jo’s Signs by Design also printed this pull up banner so all who were attending had a snapshot of what Life’s Little Celebrations was all about.

Again fantastic quality (colours were more vivid in real life) and a banner I can reuse – and this type of banner is perfect for all of you who do expos and markets.

When printing this banner I know that Jo had to do a few modifications with her printing machines and worked extra hard to ensure the colours were coming out JUST right – and that is the type of service you want when it comes to such large signs compared to the service you may receive at a larger printing chain store.

 

 

Jo’s Signs by Design also create a range of other signs for both large and small celebrations! Everything from fun Instagram photo frames to large scale photo walls:

 

 

 

Beautiful signs and backdrops can be printed to welcome your guests to any celebration (design below is by Eve and Co):

 

 

 

Such a pretty backdrop printed by Jo’s Signs by Design! Graphic design by Edge House Design and name sign by Foamtastic Party Decor:

 

 

 

 

An easy way for adding some decorations is by using decals and Jo’s Signs by Design can also print decals to use for your party – how cute is this idea?:

 

Whether you need a backdrop designed and printed or just need a printable file printed – make sure you speak to Jo from Jo’s Signs by Design and see how she can assist you with her range of printing services!
