Pink Eared Birthday Party
We just talked about birthday party packs and I tell you I just love, love, love creating these things. I love all things Disney® and wanted to create something for my little girl’s 1st birthday to incorporate pink, cupcakes, and of course my all time favorite character….THE mouse. However, I also wanted it to be free, or to the best of my knowledge, free from any copyright infringement issues. Because when I was done with it I wanted to be able to offer it commercially, to you, my adoring fans, customers, and supporters.
So here is how my whole design process started. I have an online membership to www.iclipart.com where I can download unlimited amounts of clipart and use it royalty free for my small home based business. Believe it or not I found a hat with some circles that looks very similar to…well you’ll see what kind of hat and you’ll say, ah…okay. My husband came home one day with one of those large cupcake cake pans to bake for her party and it was then I knew I definitely had to use cupcakes in the theme. Of course pink was a given because, duh, she’s a girl. I had some food clip art with a really cute cupcake and went to town on my design. This is what I “threw” together. I know I mentioned that I created this for
my 1 year old girl’s party but this picture is better than the other one I had from her party and this includes all elements that come with a party pack. With the exception of the balloon on a stick, it’s not pictured here.
I mailed this party pack out this week and I can’t wait to hear from the customer when she receives it. I just love getting feedback when a package arrives. I mean yeah, it’s not like it’s a total surprise because they have seen the design online and they have seen proofs for their personalization but there is something about seeing this stuff in person, all put together and as a part of the actual party. Pictures aren’t always the best “light” to see something in. You HAVE to see these in person.
For me, and one of the reason I chose this type of business, is that a birthday is about something very personal. It’s a milestone, it’s a celebration of another year of life at any age. Sure, after we turn 35 we’re not quite as enthused about adding another year but at the same time birthdays are fun. I love designing for birthdays and I love celebrating with a special cake that’s just for the birthday boy or girl. I let my kids choose their theme and I make it happen! I plaster their names all over everything because it’s the one day in the whole year that is absolutely about them just like the day they were born! Think about it, the day they are born their name is plastered all over everything at the hospital, on your bags, their diaper bag, etc. Why should that be any different for the rest of the birthday celebrations? It shouldn’t!
A little more about this design. The beauty of pretending to be a graphics artist, I’m not one, is that I can change the colors in this design to make it perfect for boys and adults. Just a little tweaking and I can take this and make it all about YOU! I can change fonts too but the font used is very fitting so why would you want to change it?
Seriously, it’s what you like, not what I like.
If you are interested in a party pack you can start your order now even if you’re party isn’t for several weeks or months. The best time to order is at least 2 weeks before your party date to ensure timely delivery without having to pay for expedited shipping. I love these things but man do they take a while to put together. If you order your party pack between now and January 31, 2012 you will automatically get 12 cupcake toppers included with your order. Say what? That’s right we are going to begin offering cupcake toppers soon so we are giving them as a freebie to get more experience in putting them together. So yeah, you may be the guinea pig but hey, you’re getting another personalized item for your party.
