DOOR HANGERS
I love a festive front door wreath or decorative hanger, as well as sweet options for the girls bedroom doors. We have Home Themed Home hangers for nearly every occasion and the simple balloons motif is the one we pull out for birthday week! I also have embroidered banners that work great whether you use them on a door, or on the back of a chair for a birthday dinner. It’s even portable if you happen to be traveling.
DRINK STIRRERS
These stirrers are new to my arsenal and are great to have on hand for celebrating any age. Once again, they’re easy to transport, which is nice if you need to party on the go for any reason. You can even get super personalized with your stirrers and send in a headshot of your choice. It could be a beloved pet (maybe even in a birthday hat!) or a vintage throwback photo of the birthday boy or girl! Plus, they’re great for more than just birthdays! Reunions, retirements, bachelorettes, baby showers, football season, holidays – they’d be the perfect touch! Use code GRACE10 to save on any purchase over $40.
ON-DEMAND PAPER PERSONALIZATION
Sign up for Paper in a Pinch to get themed paper suites on demand from the digital library! Your monthly membership gets you access to a huge selection of pretty paper goods that can be immediately personalized and printed out at home or you can send it to your favorite professional printer. This printer is the BEST by the way! Or sometimes we’ll print out big block letters on 5×7 cardstock that say HAPPY BIRTHDAY (whoever’s birthday we are celebrating) and have the girls decorate and color it in to make our own banners.
CUPS:
There are tons of customizable cup options out there but I’ve most frequently ordered from this site, as well as these Katie Corley cups to match Catherine’s invitation last year. Lastly, we’ve been testing out the Amazon options where you can upload your own graphic, and the delivery times are so quick!
SUNGLASSES, HEADPIECES and SASHES:
If you know me, you’ve probably seen me in Happy Birthday sunnies! I keep these on hand to bring to birthday celebrations, tie on to gifts, and add fun flair on the go! Those plus headpieces like these and these and of course, sashes, make any birthday boy or girl feel extra special!
NUMBERED CANDLE HOLDERS:
The smallest touches can make the biggest impact and reusable these silver number candle holders do just that! Whether you’re celebrating 4 years or 44, you can personalize any treat with these! I’ve been known to pack them or stuff them in my purse and sneak back to the kitchen if we’re out for a meal, or even at home! We put it in a pile of beignets when we celebrated Catherine’s birthday in New Orleans the year we evacuated to Texas! I also spotted these adorable Tricia Lowenfield candle holders too. Those or a customized birthday plate that can be used each year, would make a unique gift too!
EMBROIDERED BIRTHDAY HATS
Not only do we have embroidered birthday hats for Margaret and Catherine, we also have some miniature hats that are perfect for American Girl dolls and beloved stuffies. They are fun to pull out throughout the year for impromptu celebrations and add a touch of whimsy. These crowns from Petite Keep are also precious and can be personalized for a variety of occasions, not just birthdays!
