  • Vintage Valentine’s Day Party: A Sweet Celebration of Nostalgia

    Vintage Valentine’s Day Party: A Sweet Celebration of Nostalgia

    I love nothing more than vintage valentines. They are so sweet, lovely, and just magical to get. It feels like a bit of the past that I can treasure. Step back in time this Valentine’s Day and host a party that oozes vintage charm, creativity, and heartfelt connections. This isn’t your average gathering; it’s a chance to relive the days of hand-made valentines and whimsical childhood memories.

    Picture this: soft string lights twinkling, lace doilies scattered across rustic wooden tables, and the comforting crackle of a classic vinyl record playing in the background. Guests arrive dressed in cozy pastels or vintage-inspired outfits, ready to immerse themselves in the warm glow of nostalgia.

    The centerpiece of this dreamy party? A Valentine-making station. Set up a craft table stocked with all the essentials: delicate floral-patterned papers, heart-shaped stamps, glitter, ribbon, and a rainbow of markers. Add in some vintage postcards and retro stickers for extra flair. Encourage guests to get creative, crafting their heartfelt valentines to give to loved ones—or exchange Secret-Valentine style with other party-goers!

    To keep the mood sweet, serve treats that feel like a trip to Grandma’s kitchen. Think frosted sugar cookies, chocolate truffles, and strawberry cupcakes adorned with dainty heart toppers. Pair the desserts with a cozy hot cocoa bar featuring marshmallows, whipped cream, and vintage teacups for an elegant touch. Additionally, a lovely little vintage cake would be to die for!

    As the evening winds down, hand out small party favors, like tiny jars of jam or classic candy hearts, to thank your guests for making the day so special. The night will leave everyone with full hearts and a reminder of how timelessly beautiful it is to celebrate love and friendship.

    This Valentine’s Day, ditch the ordinary and embrace the charm of yesteryears. Your guests will leave with keepsakes and memories to cherish forever. Plus, it will be so aesthetic for Instagram.

  • Feeling Lucky? A Saint Patrick’s Day Party

    Saint Patrick’s Day is coming up and surely you are wondering what you are going to do for this very green holiday. My first choice would be hopping on a flight to Dublin to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in the motherland, but obviously, this is out of the question for most people.

    If you are going to Dublin for Saint Patrick’s Day, I envy you. It is a great and very fun city.

    Anyways, since we cannot go to Dublin, let’s bring the party back home!

    If there is one thing I learned while in Dublin, it is that people love to party and drink a lot of beer—especially Guinness. I gained a new appreciation for it when I went to the Guinness Storehouse (and even learned to pour the perfect pint!).

    So, rule number one for this party: get some good ol’ Irish beers. If you do not drink, no need to fret, make a fun punch, or invest in some non-alcoholic beers. The energy will be incredible with good music, vibes, and people!

    Decorations will be pretty easy for this party. I am sure we all love to hear that too. I think doing a rainbow balloon arch is a great way to add pizazz without feeling fussy. Party Place is the perfect place to get the materials for this, and our staff would be more than happy to help you out with executing the arch.

    If you click on this link, you can see our balloon options and even request a costume balloon order.

    Go for either a classic-colored rainbow arch or you can stick to a more monochromatic, green-only party palette.

    This one from Celebrate You Events is a good example of a green rainbow arch!

    For table decorations just think green and gold! Get those gold chocolate coins and spread them all over your tablespace; you will be  (literally) golden. Check out the Saint Patrick’s Day section to get a good overview of all the party supplies we offer.

    For a more elevated look, get some fresh greenery to get that spring feel and luscious look.

    Food is pretty much up to you on this one! I suggest beer, cupcakes, and soft pretzels! Pretzels go well with beer and cupcakes just go with anything. However, you can feel free to do anything else. I like to keep it simple and festive for parties like this. You can set the vibe and provide some snacks, but unless you are planning a full dinner, your guests do not expect you to feed them a four-course meal.

    I am using these cupcakes as inspiration.
