Little beane Boutique

By Lisa Hill, Contributing Writer

These days it seems that if you aren't planning your kids party 6 months in advance you are doing something wrong!  I love how much thought and planning, we as parent's, put into our children's parties!

From custom invites and fancy labels to elaborate tablescapes...the more unique the better! And don't think it's just your children's birthdays!  These over the top themes apply to holiday parties too!

First you need to begin with a paperie company and Little beane Boutique is a one stop shop!  Just about every invitation is hand drawn and is unique and original.  Such a treasure to find on Etsy!

Here are a few favorites!

Look at what you can do for your holiday parties!

So many designs to fit your party theme.  All the finishing touches are available too! Favor bag tags, stickers, thank you cards, address labels and more! I love the attention to detail! 

Something else that caught my eye was the custom wall prints!  Cute, colorful and personalized... and you can choose ANY artwork in her shop!

And still that's not all! 

But I can't tell you everything!  You need to head over to the Little beane Boutique to see what else she has to offer! Her designs have even been seen on Hostess with the Mostess, Sweet Designs by Amy Atlas, Glorious Treats and Celebrations at Home! I can assure you what you see will impress you beyond belief!


And of course you know we love all things cupcakes! 

Make sure you check out the new blog too here for great party ideas and more! 

current obsession --- paperless post

Just yesterday we were introduced to Paperless Post - the brainchild of Alexa & James Hirschfeld (brother and sister) and have been completely obsessed with it since. For those of you like us - who are obsessed with thank you notes, cards, stationary galore - well, this is the PERFECT site for you. 


As we all live our super busy lives sometimes we fail to send that thank you card, birthday card or even wait until the last minute to send invites to that summer pool party - Paperless Post fixes that problem. In an instant you can send oh so chic thank yous, cards, invitations, and even birth announcements. While we still like to hand write notes sometimes life gets in the way and this is the perfect option to send fine stationary online.


At Paperless Post, they seek to redefine the tradition of paper stationery so that people can send custom, personalized invitations and announcements with the same thought and care as previous generations, but the way we communicate today: online.


Paperless Post stationery is as tasteful as its tangible counterpart, but it also makes life simpler. In minutes, members can send out invitations for any occasion- dinner parties, anniversaries, save the dates - whenever they want to send something more personal than a simple email or awkward PDF. After sending, they can then monitor as guests receive and reply to their invitations. You literally can track what you send!


Paperless Post is not supported by advertisers so your invitations will always remain personal and free of pop-ups and ads. We believe that discretion is an integral part of good service, and will never abuse the privacy of our users and their guests by sending unsolicited mail or releasing their personal information.

  

Father's Day is right around the corner and this is a fast, 
easy, eco-friendly way to send Dad (or Grandad!) a greeting, 
whether near or far, and perfect for those who might have waited until the last minute! Check them all out here!

Why are we so obsessed? Paperless Post is a website where users design and send cards digitally without sacrificing the traditions of classic, custom stationery. The cards have the look and texture of what you would find in a high-end stationery store, but the ease, eco-consciousness, and cost effectiveness of digital communication... and it will get there before the big day! 

You can even pick lined envelopes --- no more cheesy "e-cards." There are some really fabulous cards and the best part -- it's free to join and you get 25 free stamps included with sign-up -- that is 25 free cards! 

So what are you waiting for? Spread the word and sign up now!  Check them out on Facebook and Twitter too!
