FAQ: Wee Guide

After our last post, we thought you might be wondering about Wee Guides. After all, we haven't published one yet!

A Wee Guide is going to be an outline for an entire party theme covering five categories in five days: invites, decorations, food, favors & activities.

P.S.
We love to answer your questions.
Someday we'll make a proper FAQ to keep them all in one place.
Please feel free to contact us any time.

Inspiring Ideas: Princess Fairy Garden Wand

For those of you looking for princess party ideas, Wee Festivity encourages you to think outside the pink. Flowers, fairies and wands don't need to be pink to be pretty and magical.

Thirteen bucks gets your little girl the power to be the fairest ruler of them all at her party. The colors shown here will inspire the whole palette for the party. Wee Festivity imagines crisp white plates with orange and yellow linens with orange and yellow wide satin bows on all the chairs.

This wand inspires us so much, we're going to create a Wee Guide for princess parties.

The Xyron 150 is to a wee-tail as oxygen is to the body: fundamental. There is no easier way to add a personalized touch to every layer of your party.

This Little Sticker Machine is a must-have in your party planning toolkit. It is so important that next week I will have a tutorial on this subject.

Party Planning: Real Simple's Scoop Ahead Tip

Wee Festivity does not believe in reinventing the wheel and we lean on other resources when practical. We use books and magazines for inspiration and knowledge.

So we were reading the handy dandy book Real Simple: Celebrations and had to share this planning tip from the brilliant minds behind that publication.

Scoop your ice cream ahead of time! Of course! Wee Festivity can admit we hadn't thought of that ourselves. They recommend paper baking cups in a muffin tin and scoop the night before. When it's time to serve the cake, pop those puppies right out of the freezer and cups onto the cake plate.

Wee Festivity would like to offer this modifcation to the idea: use silicon baking cups instead.

They can be reused, they're exremely festive and colorful and you know what? Wee Festivity would just put the cup directly on the cake plate. Why mess around with dropping ice cream onto the plate? That's an extra step you don't need during a hectic party with kids. Or demanding sugar fiends aka adults!

Party Favors: Candy Creek Wicked Big Suckers

Kids love little plastic toys, for about five minutes. Kids also love candy, which also lasts about five minutes. At least candy doesn't step on the earth for hundreds of years afterwards.

For all of these reasons, Wee Festivity thinks candy makes a fine party favor (if you are so inclined to give one). The kids are already hopped up on excitement, friends and cake, so what's one more ounce of sugar? And party favors, if done well, are simply another opportunity for one more wee-tail that personalizes your event.

These Wicked Big Suckers from Candy Creek actually come in at 7/8 of an ounce. See, you don't need a handful of candy to make a kid's day, just a giant lollipop. Pucker up!

FAQ: Wee-Tails

This is a singular FAQ.

A beloved reader* recently asked me, "What is a wee-tail?"

A wee-tail, my fine readers, is a detail that happens in the Land of Wee Festivity. Therefore they are called WEE-tails, not DE-tails. And, UNlike Trix, wee-tails are not just for kids.


detail: (dee-teyl)
-noun;

1. an individual or minute part; an item or particular.
2. particulars collectively; minutiae.
3. attention to or treatment of a subject in individual or minute parts:
4. intricate, finely wrought decoration.
5. any small section of a larger whole, considered as a unit.

In other words, the details (wee-tails) are what make any party shine!
