Some ridiculously fabulous parties of 2010.

I am a lova of parties. I adore the unique and meaningful.

2010 was an interesting year in Children's Parties...Lots of staged, fake photo shoot ones-devoid of any actual children...and...lots of brilliant, heartfelt & original parties-with real, live kids!  Printables ruled the scene. Dessert tables dominated. Labeling all items on food and dessert tables still going strong. Cake balls, cake pops in any and every variation are a dessert table staple. Vintage making a thunderous comeback. (sidenote: turning something into silhouette form does not make a design vintage) Striped paper straws everywhere. Mini Cake Buntings surging in the second half of the year. Donuts adding serious cuteness to so many parties. Kandy Kones taking over the world.


Here are some of the parties which I found to be clever, novel and beautiful. So much extraordinary inspiration out there. Ecstatic to see what 2011 will bring.
