Trolls Party Supplies

It may have been released over 12 months ago, but the hit movie TROLLS is here to stay in the land of parties! And at home on DVD just quietly too – such a great movie!

The colour, hair, characters and messages make this is fantastic kids party theme – just channel your inner Princess Poppy and go all out we say. We’ve found some great items from our LLC Vendors to help get the party started (cue music).

 

Trolls party invitations

Use colour, brightness and florals as your inspiration for this theme. We love this sparkling invitation:

 

 

We also love this contextual watercolour design:

 

 

Trolls party decorations

This is where the fun starts! Think rainbows, pastels, swirled marble effects like their hair, glitter and confetti – just like Poppy’s pop up scrap books!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trolls party tableware

You won’t be stuck for choice when it comes to finding enough coloured or licensed tableware for your trolls party. Mix and match for an explosion of happiness in the room!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trolls party cakes and desserts

Cake makers are in their element with this theme! Cookies, cake pops and the cake itself is a great way to bring the movie characters into your styling if you haven’t already found a place for them.

Guests will love taking home their own Troll novelty! Some ideas for unique party favours or bright party favour bags!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And to finish off – the perfect finishing touch for the birthday boy or girl! Choose a custom Trolls party hat or a Poppy inspired floral crown!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now all that’s left is the fun tunes of the soundtrack, and you have yourself one VERY colourful and happy Trolls party! Hug time!

 

Kids party theme inspiration

Inspiration for a kids party theme can come from anywhere! Sometimes if your child is old enough they can tell you what theme they would like. However if they are little (or perhaps indecisive) you may need more ideas – whether it be from looking online at parties, invitation designs or even cakes and desserts!

Today I am sharing some amazing cookies from Flyawaypineapple to inspire you with some popular kids themes. Rhian’s amazing cookie creations can be posted Australia wide and are perfect for kids parties as you will see.

Summer party themes:

With the warmer months coming up around the corner, now is the time to be dreaming up inspiration for all those summer parties! You can’t go wrong with bright colours and fruity themes as well water-related themes for that time of the year!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On-trend themes

Popular themes featuring teepees, cactus and donuts have been high on trend this year, along with unicorns, carousels, modern safari and mermaids! The advantage of picking a theme such as this is that it is much more easier to source partyware and decor to suit:

 

 

 

Character Parties

Then of course there are all the much-loved parties based around specific characters, toys and movies that your child loves! Simply seeing what your child loves to play with or read or watch will give you inspiration for a theme such as this!:

 

 

 

Themes for older kids

For kids 8+ it can get a bit trickier when it comes to party planning! Science parties, bowling parties or sports based parties (eg soccer, gymnastics) can work very well not to mention parties involving craft or a cooking based activity or a movie party!:

 

 

 

 

First Birthdays

For the little ones and their first birthdays – the sky is truly the limit! However I have loved the rise of animal based themes which suit a first birthday perfectly. Go with a cute Deer, bright Flamingo or pretty Giraffe…or for boys you could go with a monochrone Panda theme, a woodland fox or bear or a modern safari animal!

 

 

 

 

I hope these stunning cookies have inspired you ! Flyawaypineapple post their amazing cookies Australia wide so contact them via their website to enquire on an order!

 

 

 

 

 

Disney Pixar’s Cars party supplies

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would have heard the news that has Lightning McQueen fans VERY excited.

Cars 3 is due for release in cinemas around the country June 22, just in time for school holidays, sending mini race car drivers into a tail spin of anticipation! I must admit though, it’s been a fantastic franchise that has been enjoyed in our family, so I’m sure the new movie will also be well received.

Judging by the popularity of Lightning McQueen and the movie over the years, as well as the trend for movies to quickly become a favourite party theme, we’re predicting a lot of red with requests for Cars parties over the coming months! So we’ve found some great finds from our LLC Vendors to get your engines racing.

 

Cars party decorations

You won’t have any difficulty finding licensed party ware if that’s your preference, but to avoid Lightning overload, take inspiration from the colours of the characters and the Grand Prix to create your own creative spin on the theme. We love the use of red or yellow, white and black as a base, which you can build on with any licensed products or character inspired desserts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cars party tableware

If you are trying to avoid using too much licensed party ware, a great compromise is to alternate between plain bold colours and licensed tableware, or use licensed plates with plain napkins and cups. That way you’re still letting the mini’s enjoy the star appeal of the characters – because let’s face it that’s what they want!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cars party cakes, desserts and accessories

We all know the hero of the day (besides the birthday boy or girl!) is the cake! Add some character cookies and you’ve pretty much taken them inside the movie and given them the greatest day ever!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For your party favours there is always some fun items in the stores for this Cars party theme – so here are some quality party favour packaging options which you can fill up with Cars goodies the kids will love!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you looking forward to seeing this movie with the kids? If you’re lucky enough to be continuing the excitement of the race and the roar of the engines with a party then I hope this has provided some inspiration and quick shopping finds for you.

 

Enjoy the party!

 

Rainbow Inspired First Birthday

 

A rainbow party theme is always popular – beautiful and bright for any children’s event! So when it came time for a special Life’s Little Celebrations collaborative shoot for our friends at Lenzo this theme was chosen with the challenge to bring a new twist on this well loved theme – view the Lenzo feature here.

Chantelle from Tiny Tots Events in Melbourne coordinated and styled the shoot and worked with many vendors from Life’s Little Celebrations (vendor credits at the end of this post) to create this truly stunning and unique rainbow party setting.

The balloons featuring in this party from the rainbow arch, to the gold confetti balloons to the gorgeous grey balloon backdrop are totally mind blowing and the work of talented Boutique Balloons in Melbourne:

 

 

 

I love the uniqueness of the 3D backdrop with a little girl painting a rainbow in soft colours with the ribbons flowing down !

The sweet rainbow colours  work beautifully with the metallics in the shoot along with the greys/blacks showing how a rainbow does not have to be strictly only about rainbow colours:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The kids setting is just stunning with florals in various colours and a setting any child or adult would love!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dessert table was adorned with an array of colourful rainbow inspired desserts. Rather than going with rainbow shaped desserts , the desserts were inspired by the pastel watercolour shades of the rainbow featured in the backdrop:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This sweet invitation which coordinated with the backdrop set the scene for the event with it’s beautiful watercolour rainbow and gold foil:

 

 

The design was carried through into the sweet favour tags:

 

 

 

I hope this colourful rainbow party has left you with a smile on your face and feeling inspired for your next celebration you are planning!

What’s Love The Occasion’s top tips when planning a celebration?

• Keep it simple and plan ahead!
• Prepare party decorations a week or two before and plan food that can be prepped in advance.
• Do a practice run of your table (or draw a sketch so you have something to follow on the day).
• Set up as much as you can the day before.
• And most importantly, allow yourself plenty of time to get ready and have a moment to relax before your guests arrive!
