The cutest little truck party you've ever seen!

Hi there! I'm super excited to share this absolutely precious truck birthday party I came across on Smile and Wave. Rachel Denbow is a crazy creative mommy of two, and she came up with this simple but oh-so-cute party for her son Sebastian's birthday.
Let's start with the invitations!
She made these amazing postcard invites just using card stock, graph paper, and some layered washi tape! She made all of these with things she just had on hand and they came out so cute!
Inspiration for sure!


The cute doesn't stop with the invited either...the food table looks just as good ( and might I add healthy too! )

This is my favorite touch! Duct tape garland!! The woman is a genius!
I'm not sure when but I am all over this idea for a future bash!
Such a simple and inventive idea , especially since you can get duct tape in all sorts of festive colors these days!
This party is downright perfect!
Check out some more of Rachel's ingenius ideas at Smile and Wave!

Cupcakes in a Jar!

Check out this business!
I always love unique and usable party favors...the key being usable ( and in this case delicious!).
I saw this lovely idea at My Cakies blog.
First there was cake, then cupcakes, mini cupcakes, and now cupcakes in a jar! Oh, I'm loving this! You can get jars at the supermarket for crying our loud, how easy is that? Add either your favorite frosting/cake recipe or just use a boxed cake mix...simple and adorable!
The possibilities are endless with a party favor like this!
For full directions head on over to My Cakies.




Happy Friday all!

Sex and the City Party Inspirations!

Hello! It's been a while my lovely readers, but I am FULL of ideas! May is officially Sex and the City month here on Party Obsessed! All month long I am going to share ideas, inspirations, recipes, and real parties!
I am having a Sex and the City party for the release of either the second movie or it's DVD debut. (I haven't quite decided yet)

My first inspiration as I was thinking about this party was Carrie's re-decorated apartment from the first movie! I love the combination of bright turquoise, deep plum, and crisp white edges all pulled together with eclectic accessories!

Here are some photos that inspire me to this end.

Every time I see the trailer I get so excited! Anyone else share my excitement and love for Sex and the City?
