Sweet New Product on the Horizon: Candy Cakes

We wanted to give all of our loyal readers a preview of something we here at Party411.com are working on.  We’re still in the planning stages and we don’t have all of the details sorted out yet, but these Candy Cakes Centerpieces are so fantastic that we had to show you all what we are creating behind the scenes.

How perfect will these be as a fun centerpiece for a candy theme party? Or a candy theme bat mitzvah?  We know each will be 3 tiers and will be available in 3 different sizes. You’ll also be able to choose a color scheme so that they are a perfect match for your event.

We all think they’re fantastic and can’t wait to share more designs!  Stay tuned…

If you have any questions email Amy. For more candy ideas enjoy a Candy Theme Party.

New Product: Custom Candy Sticks

We’re very excited about our newest product over here at Party411.com, Custom Candy Sticks!  These “sticks” are 8” long plastic tubes filled with candy and tagged off with a personalized message for your guests.  Choose from M&Ms, skittles and gumballs…yum!  You can even specify which color candy you would like! 

Try them placed together in a vase for a bright, fun and functional centerpiece!  Or put one at each place setting at a party.  You could even add a tag with seating information and turn them into seating cards.  There are so many possibilities for these adorable favors.

2011 Graduation Announcements

Your child has finally graduated, and you couldn’t be prouder. Finally, after Honors Bio and after school Key Club, and the early Saturday morning events your child is going to walk across the stage. As you bubble with pride, you wonder why Aunt Betsy hasn’t called to congratulate, or why hasn’t old neighbor Bob sent an email with his best wishes for a bright future.

You need to remind them all of this wonderful occasion. Graduating any level (whether it is high school, college, or medical school), is a big deal. Send a 2012 Graduation Announcement to let the world know!

These 2011 Graduation Announcements allow you to use multiple photos of your graduate, depending on your choice, so you can show the progression of your graduate from baby, to marching band member all the way to the future of the world. This is a good way to show the maturation of your young graduate who is now ready to take on the world.

These graduation announcements are a great way to spread the word on how happy and proud you really are. And remember this isn’t asking for a gift, so don’t feel guilty sending them out. This is just to remind everyone that graduation is a big accomplishment that should be applauded!

You can worry about your graduation invitations next week!

Sesame Street Theme Birthday Party

P is for Party... a Sesame Street theme birthday party that is!

The custom invitations and party favors for this Sesame Street birthday let you personalize the famous last words... "This party is brought to you by the letter J and the number 3".

The party ideas all revolve around bright primary colors and the fun characters we all know and love, like Elmo, Cookie Monster and Big Bird!

This is just the beginning of the fun. There are many suggestions and tips for your party in the Sesame Street Theme Birthday Party! If you have any more tips for a child’s birthday, leave a comment below and let us know!

New 2010 Christmas Invitations

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year. Parties, decorations, lights, and treats are all ingredients for a great holiday. The holiday allows for a variety of theme parties, from ugly sweaters to tree decorating to caroling to shopping. Any and all things are possible in the Christmas season.

Some people have the reputation of fantastically over the top wonderful Christmas parties. I honestly believe these parties start with an incredible invitation. We went all out this year and had Larry our artist draw and design a brand new line of invitations that will make your guests scream with delight, and then RSVP faster than you can say "Cheers!" 
We also went out and designed a corporate Christmas card; because we firmly believe your employees should want to come to the party.  With an invitation like this, nobody will be coming down with the (cough cough) 24 hour flu!

We'd also like to suggest that these invites can also be used as Christmas cards. We will help personalize them any way you want. So if you want these as Christmas cards, you got it!

We hope you enjoy our newest Christmas Invitations as much as we do!

New 2010 Halloween Invitations

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year. Costumes, candy and parties are all ingredients for a great holiday. Almost everybody gets dressed up, and more often than not I go over the top with my party and costume (of course).

Some people have the reputation of fantastically over the top wonderful parties (ahem). I honestly believe these type of parties start with an incredible invitation. We went all out this year and designed a brand new line of invitations that will make your guests scream with delight, and then RSVP faster than you can say "BOO!". 

You can see even more designs on our Facebook page in the 2010 Halloween Invitations Album. Let us know what you think. And remember Trick or Treat!

 

 

New Party: 80s Horror Halloween Theme

 
 

Here at Party411 we love Halloween. Why do we love it? We love the costumes, we love candy, and we love theme parties. The themed parties are probably our favorite part of Halloween.

 

There is nothing like getting a whole group of people together dressed up in the same theme clothing and getting to see their creativity flow. We have a new Halloween theme party that we absolutely love and want to share with you.

Who doesn’t love the 80s!?  The movies sure freaked me out and our newest 80s Horror Movie party is sure to be a hit theme this Halloween. We’re talking Jason, Hellraiser, Chucky, and Freddy all on our horrifically fabulous new party invitation.  Not only do we have an invitation, we also have a water bottle label, beer bottle label, and a banner to match.  You definitely have to check out this party, it is phenomenal! (The entire office is excited about this party.)  You can dress up as your favorite 80s horror character (we’ve got the costumes) or just go in your favorite 80s gear and be a “victim”.  The possibilities are endless.  You will have a great time with this Halloween theme party!

I want to enjoy the 80s Horror Movie Party!

Pro Football Hall of Fame

 

On August 7th the induction ceremony for the Pro Football Hall of Fame will be taking place in Canton Ohio.  If you can't make it in person for the speeches, exhibits and the signature jackets, be sure to catch it on TV.

You may even see some of Party411 there. Because once guys like Jerry Rice, Russ Grimm, Jon Randle, Floyd Little and Dick LeBeau are enshrined, we take over, throwing parties for all of these great athletes and coaches.

The atmosphere is phenomenal. All the players have their own tent on the grounds of the Hall.  Players bring in their family, friends, old coaches and owners. Players already inducted come back to welcome the new guys.  We will literally be surrounded by greatness, and throwing it a big party!

We can’t give away all the details of who will all be there (and there are always some big names in attendance). Rest assured, we’ll be taking pictures and posting them on the facebook fan page after the event. But give us a day to recover :)
