Mary Poppins Birthday Party

Twins might be double the trouble, but they're also double the fun! Especially when they celebrate their second birthdays with the cutest party theme ever! Twins Abigail and Archer recently turned two. To celebrate, their mom threw them an up, up, and away Mary Poppins birthday! We helped make their party supercalifragilisticexpialidocious with adorable birthday invitations and coordinating party swag inspired by the iconic Disney movie.

With our help, Archer and Abigail's mom transformed their home into a wonderland straight out of the film! Using umbrellas, brightly colored balloons, and some fun Mary Poppins party swag, she gave the party a spoonful of sugar that delighted party guests! Since the movie is one of the older Disney films (it originally premiered in 1964), both children and parents attending the party appreciated the musical theme!

Chim chiminy, chim chiminy, chim chim cher-ee! Abigail and Archer's party is as cute, as cute can be!!

Fun in the Sun Summer Birthday

Happy weekend, y'all!! It's Friday...we made it! There's no better way to celebrate the weekend than with a fun party in the sun for a little guy turning one! Try saying that five times fast. Major tongue twister!

Today we're sharing Brody's first birthday! His mom, Annie, came to us early in the summer for help with planning his big day. We thought...what better way to celebrate a summer birthday than with a bright "fun in the sun" themed birthday?! Using bold colors, fun summer accents, and of course, Brody's monogram, we created his beachy birthday invitation. When designing his party swag, we stuck with those same summery accents to help add flair to Brody's birthday! Annie is an amazing party planner...just wait until you see how amazing his summer birthday turned out!! Kick off your flip flops and check out the final product below!

Annie used one of Brody's sunny invitations to add a little flair to her beachy wreath on the front door!
 Annie even set up a colorful photo booth for guests to enjoy during the party!
 Guests were thanked for swimming by Brody's party with fish shaped cookies and take home sand buckets filled with summer goodies!
Happy birthday, Brody!! Hope you had so much fun turning one under the sun!!

Huge thanks to Annie for including us in Brody's fun in the sun summer birthday!! To see more pictures of his party, be sure to check out Annie's blogpost covering his birthday, over on her blog Home of Malones!

Summer Chic Engagement Party

Hey y'all!!

And we're back...from ACK! We took a small blogging break over the past week, as it's been quite busy in our studio! We've been working on swag for two gorgeous weddings--one here in Chicago, and the other in Texas. Both weddings were beautiful; we can't wait to share pics! N&L also just got back from a trip of a lifetime to Nantucket! We got to fully experience everything the island has to offer, see the sites, and met up with some amazing wedding friends from the island! We even got to have a little photoshoot fun with Zofia of Zofia & Co. Photography! We just got our pictures back this morning....we are OBSESSED!! We can't wait to share them with y'all, and put our swanky new pictures up on our website. Keep your eyes peeled for a blog post detailing our trip SOON!!

Today we have a picture perfect engagement party to share!! We teamed up with party planner extraordinaire Dori Waller of The Social Office to create an engagement party under the stars in honor of Sara and Jeremy. We recently helped the pair create a nautical save the date, which was die-cut and featured their custom wedding monogram. Their monogram included an anchor, which paid homage to the groom's career in the navy.

While the pair aren't officially tying the knot until October, their close friends wanted to throw them a summertime engagement party. Using both the couple's wedding colors and their nautical wedding monogram, we helped Dori create the perfect event to celebrate Sara and Jeremy's engagement. While the event came together perfectly, our favorite touches included the ice cream bar and an ice sculpture in the shape of their wedding monogram! So fun and creative!
