There is something about a styled event that leaves a lasting impression, don’t you think? Small details are discussed for months as guests recall moments from the big day, and the joy experienced by everyone in attendance seems to last that little bit longer, making it all worth it.
Baby showers are already memorable occasions as it is, but this particular one styled by LLC partner and Celebrate sponsor – Sweet Heavenly Events Hire is beyond words. Collaborating with many other talented vendors from the Life’s Little Celebrations directory for the dessert buffet, flowers, backdrop and matching sweet delicacies, we love everything about it and wish we were guests!
Using many of their own props (also for hire) and working closely with their trusted vendors, the Sweet Heavenly team created a special mint, green and white theme with splashes of silver to present what can only be described as a jaw-dropping setting for this special occasion. We’re guessing inspiration came from the incredible dining table!
Details right down to the cupcake toppers ensured a talking point at every bite, making them (almost) too good to eat. Displayed on gorgeous marble and silver cake stands (also for hire) to coordinate everything beautifully.
These chocolate pyramids even mimic the marble table which is just so subtle and so clever.
Laser cut cake toppers are proving to be a popular choice for all occasions, and this one in silver is on point perfection, sitting pretty atop a frilled two tier show stopper.
Props like this wooden rocking horse and chair (also available for hire) are perfect for the theme and give the room that extra WOW factor.
Working with a stylist like Sweet Heavenly has so many advantages, but if you have the creative flair and want to give it a go yourself, their beautiful items for hire will help get you the look you’re after and provide that stylist’s touch. I love how seamlessly this whole theme has come together, and hope it has inspired your next occasion.

When planning any event or party – attention to detail will be what sets it apart and makes it memorable for guests. There are many inclusions to think about but the addition of signage and print material can be the element that creates the WOW factor.
Many people worry that it may be costly or not readily available to use printed items but today I am introducing you to LLC partner Jo’s Sign by Design who dispel this myth by helping you create both large and small printables that will complete your event styling with maximum impact.
So you may ask, what do you mean by printables and what are my options?
Here are a few ideas that may help you.
- Backdrops – Printable backdrops can be used for candy buffets, dessert tables or even just to cover a bland wall. Themed parties can be beautifully enhanced with a large format backdrop. You can attach these to a board or display or blu-tack to a wall.
Here are a few examples of backdrops printed by Jo’s Signs by Design:

I personally used Jo’s Signs by Designs recently when I needed a large sign to cover the bottom of this Ice-cream parlour stand for a Doc Mcstuffins party for my daughter. Jo printed the sign to the custom size requirements and the quality was fantastic!
- Milestone Boards – These vintage boards have come of age and the brilliant design elements of names, place, memories and milestones artistically displayed for a special event of any kind will bring a smile to all who stop and read. The added benefit is the event recipient has a truly personal keepsake to cherish forever.
- Social Media Frames – For a special birthday – having a fun photo frame to use for photos creates a memorable prop for photos!
For business events – having your event trend on Social Media is the ultimate recognition of a great event. Help it along by having a custom made Instagram or Facebook frame. You can add your event title, hashtags, keywords and more.
Guests can grab the frame and get into the picture instantly. Perfect icebreaker and great promotion tool

Gold and glitter are huge at the moment in kids and adult parties and if you love yourself a bit of glitter and shine then you will love what Sugarlicious can create!

A first birthday is always a special celebration and if you’re planning a first birthday party then Sugarlicious has some gorgeous “One” cake toppers available (cake in pic by Art of Baking) and I also love these iron on decals which can be used to customise any birthday outfit!
Sam, the owner of Sugarlicious, is a mum who has always had a passion for parties. Even before her 1st baby boy was born, she used to daydream about his birthday parties. She loves lollies, chocolate, cake, parties, the odd glass of champagne & glitter!
She has always been the friend / family member that gets excited about planning amazing parties, whether a birthday, baby shower, christening, wedding or kids backyard birthday.
She would love to help add some sparkle to your next event and as you can see Sam creates gorgeous party decor which are on trend!
Despite heading into winter there is still plenty of pineapple and flamingo items around – this is one trend that is not going away! So whether you’re planning ahead for a summer tropical party or adding some pineapple or flamingo party items to a winter party – you will love these toppers and garlands!
Most cake toppers / accessories are hand made from glitter / plain cardstock and since a commercial electronic cutting machine is utilised it allows Sugarlicious to custom cut ANY number, letter, word or image up to 30cm.
With the release of the new Alice in wonderland movie this is another popular party theme and I love these toppers that Sugarlicious has created for a fun Alice in Wonderland party theme!:
If you are looking for a special themed cake topper, party accessory, iron on glitter decal or foil print, Sugarlicious can custom design party products to suit any theme.

Gold foil prints are appearing everywhere lately in kids room decor and Sugarlicious also covers this range of items! These lovely prints could also work into some party decor and then be placed in your child’s room after the party:
On a personal note I have used Sugarlicious a few times for various party items and have met Sam in person – she is down to earth, humble and dedicated to providing wonderful service to her customers!

Ah, shopping around for party supplies… some love it, some hate it. For those that would prefer to spend their Saturday afternoon hanging with the kids or enjoying some ‘me’ time, I’ve got something to share with you today that I know will help!
You will be thrilled to discover what I’m introducing to you today from The Kit Source who want to make it as simple as possible to prep for a party. They create stylish kits of party supplies, so you can have your party sorted quickly.
But they realised that wasn’t enough, many people wondered if they could create their own Party Kit. Well, now you can, using their proven party formula and the CUSTOM KIT BUILDER.
As an extra bonus – as a fan of the Life’s Little Celebrations blog, The Kit Source is offering you a HUGE 30% off the first Custom Party Kit you build – that’s a saving of up to $40! Simply use the code LLCPARTYTIME by 31st May 2016.
WHAT IS IT?
Their exclusive Custom Kit Builder is a handy platform that guides you through the process of choosing your own plates, cups, napkins, cutlery, straws and favour bags, to match the party theme of your choice!
I know that I love to be able to coordinate partyware and using this custom party kit builder I can visualise how all the different items will mix and match together on the day!:
WHY?
Lel from The Kit Source explains where the idea of their Custom Kit Builder originated from: “With all the amazing, unique party themes out there, we simply couldn’t create a Kit for all of them. We all love to customise what we purchase, to match our own style or preference. So now you can create a Party Kit for any theme imaginable!
We know that there are tonnes of other party stores, all with amazing products, but rarely do they help you purchase exactly what you need, for the amount of guests you’ll be having. Most stores leave you to your own devices, to style everything on your own, while struggling to working out how many of each item you’ll need. With our web-app, we’re taking the guesswork out of party planning.”
WHERE DO I START?
It’s easy! First, launch the Custom Kit Builder.
Next, you simply work through the steps, selecting your number of guests, then each of your party items.
Once you’re happy, you simply add it to the cart and you’re done. Too simple!
BUT THERE’S MORE!
They also have a great range of party decorations already in Kits, but are working furiously behind the scenes to launch a Custom Decoration Kit Builder. It sounds like its going to be amazing – hanging decorations, confetti balloons in a range of colours, streamers, bunting and more!
Oh, and if you need inspiration for your own Party Kit, they’ve put together a number of sample looks into a swanky lookbook; some of my faves are the Tropicana, Natural Chic and Minecraft themed creations!
I’m sure you’ll have fun creating your own themed party kits, and just a reminder that as a fan of the Life’s Little Celebrations blog, The Kit Source is offering you a HUGE 30% off the first Custom Party Kit you build – that’s a saving of up to $40! Simply use the code LLCPARTYTIME by 31st May 2016.
So what are you waiting for?
Time to party plan and build your own party kit!
