GOOD ON PAPER - Printable Parties

ice cream social


One thing I love about the warmer weather, is the fact that eating ice cream everyday seems almost compulsory. And for us non-bakers out there it gives us a good excuse to throw an Ice Cream Social Party. Like for my friend's baby sprinkle I did just that, but in this case as a baby was on the way and her surname is "Pick" it seemed perfect to add in some pickles too! Our printable party collection also includes some very cute Wishes for Baby Cards and if you like the collection sans pickles we have that one too!

SOMETHING GOOD - A Good Idea

quick quips


Agonising over a guestbook for your next function? How about buying a whole stack of postcards and have your guests write messages on each one. Try and find some that suit your theme or style of your function. As a bridesmaid, you could even collect these afterwards, stamp them and send a few every month to the newlyweds new address!

p.s. Mimi don't you think this will be cool for your Aeroplane themed baptism?

GOOD LIFE - Real Life Parties

vintage tea party


I love having the opportunity to help my friends with their parties, and even moreso when it is for raising money for charity. Natalie hosted a Starfish Dinner of Hope, or rather a High Tea of Hope for Women's Day and In Good Company sponsored all the stationery, décor, flowers and favours. It was a lovely morning spent drinking tea, chatting, eating cake and all for a good cause.


World's Aids Day is on the 1st December, so why don't you start thinking about planning your own Dinner of Hope. Plus, we will be more than happy to send you any of our Party Printables for free! Like how about this Starfish Printable Party?


Or if you are looking for something a little easier - how about pulling up a seat at their Long Long Long Table?

GOOD TIMES - Our Events

let's celebrate


Oh happy days! Next month is our 2nd birthday and we are planning lots of fun things! One of which is the very, very exciting Book Launch of "Let's Celebrate". Debbie O'Flaherty and Allison Brand have written the most gorgeous entertaining coffee table book ever! I can't wait to see it (and have only seen one or two sneak peek photos) and we are thrilled that they are going to be throwing a party at our place.

So please, pop in for some bubbly, meet the lovely ladies and get your signed copy of the book! What's more, three of the book's party scenes are going to be set up in our shop - so the book is literally going to come to life! What a way to par-ta!

GOOD TIES - 101 Ways with Ribbon

ribbon revelation


Here is a quick pic of some of the new ribbons that we have in stock! And more to come... All of our ribbons are Petersham and of excellent quality. I often joke that we should have a sign in our shop that says "CURLING RIBBON FREE ZONE". I actually had to bite my tongue the other day when I bought a gift here in Switzerland and the lady pulled out paper ribbon and started curling it. I nearly died! Needless to say when I got home off came their "creation" and on went some pretty Petersham!

say it loud


Typography is a huge trend at the moment, and one that I think works seamlessly for parties as it does for room décor. I have quite a variation of "letters" in home and I about add one or two of these new wooden words that we just got in. The great thing is that these also make for original "table numbers" at a reception or how about using all different ones to create a ceremony backdrop - like a 3D visual of your vows that can be later displayed in your home.

little ladybug


A cute addition to our Printable Parties has been our Little Ladybug Collection. Naturally, it features lots of little ladybirds but not in the traditional red and black (albeit we do have the collection in these colours too) instead it is done in candy floss pink and chocolate brown. And by far the cutest item must be the water bottle labels.

GOOD ON PAPER - Printable Parties

if you go down to the woods today


You are in for a big surprise! Our Teddy Bear Printable Party Collection has been such a hit for little girls and boys birthday parties. It is the perfect theme for a neutral baby shower and one of my personal favourite first birthday or twin birthday party themes. Largely because at this young age, they really do love their teddy bears and it makes for some great party ideas:

INVITATION Fill in the printable party invitation, and be sure to remind your guests to bring their favourite little bear along.

DECORATIONS Print coloured paper and cut into triangles, as well as the printable party teddy bears; attach to dowel sticks, stick in grass for quirky little grass decorations.
Print out the printable party bunting in a phrase like TEDDY BEARS PICINC, string onto ribbon and hang up. Blow up giant red or white balloons and stake into the ground to designate where the party is at!

TABLE Create the party area with picnic basket centrepieces on blankets with scatter pillows all around, set alongside lots of soft toy bears to play with.  Serve the food on our red with white polka dots paper cups and plates with bamboo cutlery and tie with bakers twine. Fill galvanised tin buckets with all white or red flowers and trim with red and white ribbon.


MENU Fill galavanised tin buckets with ice and old fashioned coca cola bottles with our red and white striped retro straws and use Consol glass jars to serve good old fashioned lemonade, decorate straws with the printable party circles. Cover water bottles with printable party patterned paper. Set up a large galvanised bucket with ice filled with slices of watermelon, and have a watermelon eating competition. Set up a traditional "bake sale" table and ask all your guests to bring a plate of baked goodies. Use the printable party tented place cards to label each item like "Tracy's To-Die-For Chocolate Cake". Fill glass jars or buckets with marshmallows, biscuits, chocolate and skewers for a SMORES BAR. You could even hire our blackboard hearts to write up the menu.


FUN AND GAMES Buy bottles of bubbles and customise with patterned paper. Hire our Bocce Set or Croquet Set, or bring along a big ball or frisbee. Have a best dressed bear competiton, sing the Teddy Bears Picnic Song, or go one a Teddy Bear Hunt (hide small little teddies for the little ones to find!).


DRESS UP Make a customised t-shirt for the birthday girl or boy, simply iron on the transfer from the Printable Party, and top it off with some printable bear ears (these you stick to an alice band). The ears also make for a cute and easy accessory for all the little party guests.

FAVOURS Make the smores into mini kits: fill sweet paper bags or gables boxes with marshmallows, skewers, chocolates and biscuits. These kits can also be made up per family. Or simply fill little bags with Woolies Teddy Bears Picnic Gummi Sweets, or and I just thought of it now: Caramello Bears (drat! now I am really craving one:). Add the printable party THANK YOU favour tag to the top.
