Personalised Party Invitations from TinyMe.co.uk

October 25, 2014/ Claire Spence

Tiny Me have taken the hand cramp out of writing dozens of birthday party invitations for me this year. I featured their smartly designed school name tag labels two years ago, and the illustrations to choose from are similarly crisp, clean and professional.

There are dozens of templates to choose from, boys', girls' or unisex, as well as options to include your own photograph within the design.

Once you choose the perfect template, you then have a choice of colour swatches to pick, to further customise the invitation.

Invites are sold in packs of eight, with the option to add envelopes and/or magnets to your order for a little more. They really do look smart and you can avoid the hand cramp of writing out the party address and RSVP telephone number a dozen times.

My son chose this monkey print design, which matches his school stickers & labels which he loves. Turn around for us was around a week from ordering, so bear this in mind when judging when to place an order. What design would you choose? Check out the Tiny Me full party range online now.

The Super Duper Heroes Birthday Party- The Aquabats

November 04, 2013/ Claire Spence

Thank heavens for Birthday Express! The UK doesn't stock Aquabats merch yet, as the first series has only been shown on CITV so far. I was able to source everything for my son's Aquabats Party in one place, and I think you'll agree, for a hired room in a leisure centre it looked really cool.

A word to the wise though- if you are having 24 kids in one room, all eating Haribo and feeding off each other's hyperness, keep the matching blowouts for the party bags. Do not put them on the tables. 24 excited children blowing 24 Aquabats party blowers is very, very loud. Still, the reviews from his friends were that it was the 'best party ever', so thank you Birthday Express for helping make it look so groovy.

birthday boy, very sweaty after the soft play area beforehand!

Birthday Express Has the Best Party Supplies. Anyone For A Legend of Zelda Party?

October 25, 2013/ Claire Spence

It's my son's six birthday tomorrow. He wanted an Aquabats themed party, which is how I came across the US site Birthday Express. They have literally hundreds of party themes, including dozens you wouldn't be able to get in the UK. They ship to the UK too, just make sure you plan in advance and don't leave it until a week before to place your order.

Each party theme is carefully crafted with links to absolutely everything you will need. Plates, cups, bowls, napkins, tablecloth, party bags, stuff for in the party bags, it really is a one-stop shop kind of place, all you'll need to sort out is the food.

You can also make completely unique party themes buy adding photographs and text of your choice.

I'm going to show you all our Aquabats' gear set up for the party tomorrow, there's a sneaky peek below, but in the meantime, check out these exclusive themes that I think you will love.
