Everyday Event Planner

Party Ideas

Introducing ... Your Personal Party Planner!

For party power in less than an hour....the envelope, please!
Event-in-an-Envelope™ is a new concept in party planning. It's like having your own party planner arrive with your order! Our invitations are designed around a party theme and each one comes with the ideas and inspiration that will help you plan a party that pops.

And when it comes time to make that special announcement or find the right words to show your gratitude, we've got you covered with Etiquette-in-an-Envelope™ ! All our announcements and thank you notes come with the scripts and tips you need to know when announcing baby or writing the perfect thank you note.

Event-in-an-Envelope™

In each invitation package you'll find:

Menu Ideas  No one has time to make 250 mini-pheasant canapés—no matter how elegant they are! Our menus are selected to work for real people with real lives. We use a range of food-styles from Modern Comfort Food to Tasty and Trendy to Casual Yet Exotic to establish the party's food point-of-view. Then we plan a menu that you can make in your own kitchen with lots of time-saving tips if cooking isn't your style.

Décor Ideas  The right décor helps to set the party's ambiance. We offer suggestions for colorways, centerpieces, and set-up based on our years of professional and personal experience.

Activity Ideas  No celebration is a party without something to do. Here we offer unique, unusual, interactive fun that party guests will be talking about for years to come! Henna Tattooing, Belly Casting, Geo-caching are just some of the activities we have planned for you.

Favor Ideas  Everybody loves a present, and your party guests will love a favor bag from the best party they have ever gone to—yours! There are lots of theme related suggestions that can be tailored to your guests and your budget.

Baby Gift Ideas  Picking a present is sometimes the hardest part of the party. Make gift-giving easier by choosing gifts that coordinate with the theme of the party. For a Zen Tranquili-tea Shower, give Tea Party-the Home Version favors bags filled with two exotic tea bags and honey sticks.

It's like having your own party planner arrive with your order!

Etiquette-in-an-Envelope™

In each announcement and thank you note package you'll find:

• The Five “P”s for the Perfect Thank You Note: Penned, Petite, Praise-filled, Particular, and Pronto
• Suggested Scripts: Greetings, content, and sign-offs for every gift type
• Elevators: Simple touches that “elevate” your note or announcement

Cupcakes for World Peace™

We believe that anyone who can plan a party—with all the organization, insight, thoughtfulness, compassion and diplomacy that successful party planning requires—is creating the connections that create the community that creates World Peace.

So, if you can plan a party, World Peace is a cupcake away!

With this philosophy in mind, we have created the CUPCAKES FOR WORLD PEACE forum, as well as a signature cupcake recipe which we think it's the best cupcake recipe on the planet. The best thing about it is that you add the creativity.

And we want to see it! Show us your cupcakes, send us your recipe variations, and tell us your CUPCAKES FOR WORLD PEACE story. We will post them on our site to share with the whole peace-loving, cupcake-eating world.

So download our CUPCAKES FOR WORLD PEACE recipe and start party-planning like World Peace depends on it!
