Roll up everyone! There’s a wonderful business to introduce you to tonight – Beth from Kids Prints is one of our talented members who loves to design stationery for children’s parties!
One of the most popular themes from Kids Prints is a Circus Carnival theme which I am sharing tonight with some customer images from a party using her stationery.
This is a great example about how choosing a great invite and stationery design, helps coordinate ALL the party elements and make party planing so much easier! The stationery really brings the circus theme to life and gives the party that carnival feel!
As you can see – from the carnival signs to the favour tags to the food labels – the carnival stationery was used throughout to create a fun setup which is coordinated, using the design by Kids Prints
Kids Prints offers a range of other themes also for kids parties , and you can browse their range easily on their ETSY store! We’re proud to have this talented business as part of our network!
I’ve recently shared some girl Christening supplies and ideas on the blog and now it is time to share a gorgeous boys Baptism by Melbourne stylist Style by Luxe!
There are some favourite boys Christening themes but it is wonderful to create a modern and new take on these themes!
Yiota from Style by Luxe created this modern take on the nautical theme!
Modernising traditional themes is another way to create new styles and concepts. Their modern take on the nautical theme using a beautiful silver boat as the central attraction for this baptism of twin boys, ended up being such a beautiful display.
The theme was brought through from invite to personalised lollipops and to the final end product which of course was the dessert display.

Its not easy coming up with new themes and styles for every event, however Style by Luxe loves creating custom events to suit everyone’s theme, colour and concept. At times, minimal items can still make a real impact when designing and styling a space. Their “Angelo” blue and gold baptism with the cake being the main display is one such example. With a beautiful floral arrangement, great props and balloons they were able to make a real impact!

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.

If you want a unique and modern take on a Dinosaur party, then you will absolutely love this collaboration shoot styled by Enchanted Party Hire in Queensland! This shoot was for Issue 5 of “Celebrating Little One’s” – our online e-magazine which you can view here!
The shoot brought together a range of Life’s Little Celebration members all collaborating to create the incredible shoot – set to inspire a new range of dinosaur parties! As you can see below…the result was AMAZING! Just look at that giant dinosaur balloon and huge slumber tent:
The black and white stationery – from the invite to the backdrop and more – really helped set the modern tone for this dinosaur party:
All the desserts were created to match the design and colour scheme and worked together to add some “raw-some” deliciousness to this dinosaur party!:
Take home favour options included these dinosaur lollipop holders, chocolate bars, cookie mixes and lolly boxes!:
The kids party table continued the modern look with the mix of black/white and copper touches along with cute dinosaur tails on the stools!
I could certainly spend a whole day relaxing in this huge tent which was a feature of this dinosaur party! Just look at the space!:
This truly was a rawsome celebration that any dinosaur lover would enjoy!
