Inspiring Ideas:

Papermoth's shop is full of images that can inspire a party or an entire room for that matter. For example, I could see easily see this print framed in a child's room inspiring a calming palette of colors from paint to bedding to furniture.

Perennial Moment

Since we're here for party ideas though, I would use this image as a jumping off point for a wishing theme. I am envisioning a tea party. For the invites, I would go with this dandelion stamp from Paper Source. 

Imagine clear glass jars with dandelions inside and pale blue and yellow squares of paper around for guests to write down a wish for the birthday girl (of any age!). I would use all white plates and linens and have a tea party with pale blue candles and small bouquets of yellow flowers.

Like dahlias...

Party Favors: Mini Purses

Not everyone is a fan of the party favor, but I am if it's a useful item and not designed to be disposable. The minute I saw this dainty little purse, I thought it would make a wonderful party favor for a young school-aged girl.

Princess Party Favor by sweeteventide on Polyvore.com

The Container Store is using the purse as a wedding favor obviously, but I would just fill it with a small lip balm, plus a couple of stickers and maybe even a rubber stamp. How cute! What little girl wouldn't love to receive this as a parting gift?

Take the princess party idea beyond the world of Disney!

Dreamy Invites: A Pirate Halloween Party

Wee Festivity would use the following card stock from Paper Source:

an A2-sized Poppy Ric Rac flat card

on top of an A6-sized Black flat card.

We would print our party details on the bottom 2/3 of the poppy card and then stamp HOOT at the top and the adorable pirate owl under "HOOT." We recommend black ink from Clear Snap's Color Box line and clear embossing powder to make the image nice & shiny.

Warning!

The entire Clear Snap site is Flash. It does not provide direct linking and will resize your browser! Wee Festivity finds that highly annoying but we don't hold it against their products. Their ink rocks. You can find their stamp pads at a multitude of stores.

Paper is a world unto itself in the Land of Creativity. With all of our experience and love for paper, we are but newbies in the grand history of paper products. While we truly advocate getting inspired and creating a vision for your party from start (invites) to finish (favors), in a rare case we will approve of a {gasp!} ready-made invite.

Behold such an item:
