Halloween will be here before we know it!! 

Every year, I look for fun treats for my kids to pass out to their friends or to have at Halloween gatherings as take-away-treats. One of my favorite designs this year is this simple lollipop wrapper. 

Simply print, trim, then wrap around lollipops (the larger Tootsie Pops are best) and secure with tape, glue or glue dots. The tags are reversible with a cute space to write who the treat is TO: and FROM:.

Be sure to download your FREE printable this year! And, be sure to peak at our entire collection of Halloween designs, including personalized gift tags, cupcake toppers, and signage.

Happy Halloween everyone!

One of my favorite Halloween play on words phrases for treats is "Bugs & Kisses". My now 3 year old gave this treat to his classmates last year and it was a huge hit, with the little boys and girls. 

So, we had a little fun this year and came up with 2 different tag concepts and color combinations for "Bugs & Kisses".

To make your treats, simply choose your favorite clear container or bag, fill with Hershey's kisses and your choice of bugs (our favorite is the plastic spider ring), then add your personalized tag and you are all set!

One of our favorite treat containers is the 2" clear, square box. They hold just the right amount of candy for a small treat, are easy to assemble and beautifully display treats through their clear exterior. You can also use clear treat bags, available at craft stores such as Michael's or online. Or, to add a bit of color to your packaging, choose treat bags with black or orange stripes to fill with kisses and your child's favorite bugs.

So, have fun with this Halloween treat concept and give our "Bugs and Kisses" this Halloween to friends, neighbors and your child's classmates. To see our entire collection of "Bugs and Kisses" favor tags, be sure to visit our etsy store www.etsy.com/shop/crowningdetails. 

Alfonso’s 5th birthday party was a ROARING success! We had a blast partnering with Alfonso’s mommy to bring all of these fun Jurassic details to light.

Some details to look for include: 
-Amazing “Roar” cake with cookie toppers 
-Dinosaur egg cupcakes 
-Handmade dinosaur snacks & treats 
-Inflatable dinosaur centerpieces & hanging pterodactyl from the ceiling 
-Dinosaur stenciled favor bags

Main Dessert Table 
The centerpiece for this table’s design was the jungle mural backdrop. Hanging from the ceiling was an inflatable pterodactyl, and fun dinosaur balloons anchored the table ends. Alfonso’s mom created fun dinosaur inspired treats for the guests to enjoy; dinosaur track cookies, dino claws, dino bones, Cheerio volcanos and “herbivore” veggie sticks. As treats, guests indulged in the “ROAR” birthday cake and dinosaur nest/egg cupcakes.

Children’s Tables 
We wanted to bring a touch of dino whimsy to these tables, so we focused on a green paper grass inspired runner with carefully placed dino figurines for the children to play with. Inflatable dinosaurs, which served as a great toy for Alfonso after the party, were our table centerpieces. And waiting for each guest at their seat were foam dinosaur masks and fun party hats.

Halloween is almost here! 

I find that the simplest of ideas are often the most appreciated at Halloween parties, whether in school classrooms, church picnics or in your home!

These ghost inspired straw toppers take just minutes to make and are a great way to dress up straws for your beverage service.

Dress up simple black and white paper straws with grosgrain ribbon inspired ghosts. Simply tie a knot using 1 1/2 inch white grosgrain ribbon, trim the edges and then add eyes with a black sharpie. If you have a few extra moments, you could glue googley eyes on for an added surprise for adults or kiddos!

A superhero birthday party is just about every little boy’s dream!! We had a blast creating this colorful backyard birthday party for our friend Rowan who was turning 4.

Some details to look for include:

-Super Rowan’s custom super cape

-Custom created supercapes for each guest waiting at their seats

-3 tier birthday cake

-Flawless superhero sugar cookie favors

Main Dessert Table

The tiered snack stand and 3 tiered super hero cake were the centerpieces of this colorful dessert and snack table. Guests also had their choice of snacks; popcorn in individual snack cups or bulk snacks served in building inspired containers.

Children’s Tables

Black linens, superhero gift wrap runners and paper centerpieces created a fun setting for party guests. Waiting for each guest at their chair were multi-colored superhero capes for dress up during the party.

Party Activities

Spiderman making his appearance was certainly the hit of Rowan’s party! Guests were also entertained by balloon artist Michelle with Bugga Bugga Balloons.

Party Favors

In addition to the custom silk super capes, each guest was encouraged to take home superhero sugar cookies created just for Rowan’s birthday party by Whoo’s Bakery.
