New! The perfect party decor kits from Minted.com. Now your parties can look like Those Parties without much effort at all.
We've loved the beautiful cards and invitations from Minted.com ever since we discovered them on day one, so it makes perfect, brilliant sense that they'd evolve from cards and invitations, and launch a gorgeous new Party Decor line. Hooray! Plus, like all their items, these are also sourced from talented indie designers, many of them moms themselves. Back as one of our favorite sponsors (yay!) we love that we have the opportunity to pick some of our very favorite party themes and designs from the new Minted Party Decor line. They're perfect for busy parents like us who are short on time, but still want the beautiful customized banners and cupcake toppers we see in magazines and on those Pinterest boards that make you think "yeah, I'll never do that..." Psst...now you can. Nesting Bird Baby Shower Party Theme by Fatfatin (above) Although there are so many gorgeous baby shower party themes to choose from, the neutral Nesting Bird caught our eye. What a sophisticated choice for a mom expecting a surprise, or for someone who's not too keen on the regular rotation of pink or blue. Like all the packages, this one comes in three different options and price ranges, so you can spend as little or as much as you want, with everything customized and delivered to your door but the cake.   Foilage Thanksgiving Party Theme by The Occasional Hello With cups, plates, and placecards included, this collection lets us cross the pretty paper goods of your list so we can focus on our favorite parts of this holiday: cooking and eating. Mostly stuffing. Sometimes thirds.   Vintage Racing Party Theme by El Bandel We know plenty of boys (and a few girls) who would love a race car theme at their next party, and here's a way to do it old-school, without a licensed talking car. Just think of all the fun party games and favors this kit inspires.   Pretty Thaumatrope Party Theme by Kelli Hall Here's a smart idea: Snatch up a lovely themed box and pop it away in your closet so you're always prepared--think a last minute celebration, or an impromptu "shoot I forgot it's my best friend's birthday weekend and she's coming over.: This way you've got all the party supplies you need right on hand.   Princess Crown Party Theme by Snow and Ivy For the princess-obsessed little girl (know anyone like that?), we are absolutely in love with this sweet option. Wow, what a huge change from the blingy, violet and fuchsia princess stuff that tends to be everywhere you search. And if we know one thing about real princesses: they tend to have exquisite taste.   Vintage Reindeer Party Theme by Griffinbell Studio Are you thinking about the holiday season yet? It's not too early to get a jump on it, and we are keen on the idea of having all the invitations and decor you need on hand, even party favors. This retro-inspired Vintage Reindeer theme is just lovely. Party on! -Kristen   You can purchase the new Minted.com party decorations on their website. There are three levels of packages starting at $66, all including chic neutral plates and napkins and a combo of ready-made items and a few simple DIY favors like, pinwheels.
