Party time: Personalised perfection

Initials look cute on party products

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, baby shower, bar mitzvah or a Christening, it's always nice to put your own stamp on things. And nowadays, there are lots of ways to personalise your party. Not only can you choose your own theme or colour scheme, to suit your taste, you can also add initials and even names to plenty of party products to give them a unique twist. 


We love these party packs made for a Christening with the guest of honour's initial on. We also personalised sweet boxes and paper napkin rings for this particular celebration. Not only do they look stylish, they're the perfect way to make a party your own.
You might also be keen to use your child's name on some of the party products, whether it's chocolate wrappers, a back drop or the food boxes. We had these bespoke milk boxes made with the birthday girl and boy's names on. It's small touches like this, that really make a party unique. And when the guests found they were full of yummy sweets, they loved them too.

For this particular party, we didn't stop there, we also had bespoke food boxes made for our tiny guests to eat from. We think you'll agree they look gorgeous. And it's exciting for the birthday girl or boy to see their name on lots of the party products, as well as being a great keepsake to show them when they're older. 

Personalised and packed with yummy sweets

Fantastic themes: Footie fever

Table for 11?

The World Cup has come to an end, and for many of us, it's time to recover the remote control from the firm grip of our husbands! Sadly for England, football was coming home sooner than they could say 'World Cup'. 

But football isn't forgotten about that easily and no doubt your sons and maybe even your daughters are already training for their next season on the pitch. And before we know it, the Premier League will be dominating our television screens again! 

But even if you're not a huge football fan, a football party is a great idea for a children's birthday party. A football party really offers a chance to personalise a party, choosing your child's favourite team's colours, whether it's West Ham or West Brom. 

At the party, kids can tire themselves out with games of football which also gives children a chance to get to know each other, while parents can mingle on the sidelines.

And when it comes to food and drink, you can bring the pitch indoors! Team colours can be reflected with the choice of balloons and tablecloths, right down to the straws. Food can even be served in football themed boxes and what football-themed party would be complete without these cake pops...

Who can resist a football-shaped cake pop?

Party ideas: On yer bike!

There was plenty of excitement in the Les Enfants office this week as the Tour De France raced past just minutes from our office.

Crowds gathered with banners to welcome the cyclists who had made it to stage three of the famous race. The atmosphere was electric and reminiscent of the Olympic atmosphere back in 2012. 

But even though we were busy trying to catch a glimpse of the peleton, we were of course still thinking about parties!

Sport can be a great basis for a party, and if you're having trouble thinking of a theme, you can always rely on sport whether it's football, swimming or indeed cycling. With BMX's well and truly back in fashion, and cycling a past time that never gets dull, a cycling party could be the perfect thing for your little ones. 

If not all your guests have a bike, you can rent them across the country and many companies also have all-weather routes for your party to road-test. 

If you're based in a city and worried about the logistics, you can always organise a coach to take you to a more leafy destination to get the most out of your cycle. It's all part of the fun and makes a great day out, that will of course tire your kids out too!

Just don't forget your helmets! 

We'll race you to the party

Fantastic themes: Red, white and blue

Happy Independence Day 

It's July 4th which means our friends across the pond will be celebrating Independence Day today. Traditionally, in the US, Independence Day is marked by fireworks, parades, BBQs and a general carnival atmosphere. You've got to hand it to those guys, they sure know how to party.

It got us thinking about themes for our own parties this side of the Atlantic. Whilst you might not be hosting your own Independence Day party, an American theme can look great for any kind of celebration.

You could choose to have a general American theme, with flags, cupcakes and balloons to really set off the red, white and blue colour scheme. Or perhaps you'd like to add some American traditions to your stars and stripes style party? Girls could have a cheer-leading party complete with pom-poms, and activities can include making up a cheer especially for the birthday girl. 
Boys meanwhile could have a an American football themed party, learning how to play the game, while dressed in all the gear, of course. 

When we started thinking about hosting an all-American party, out mouths were watering when we thought about what food we could eat. No American-themed party would be complete without burgers and chips, or should we say 'fries'... If you don't fancy burgers you could try hot dogs or chicken wings to keep to the theme.

For dessert you could have smores, where traditionally, marshmallows are sandwiched between chocolate biscuits and roasted on a fire, to create a gooey, sticky, tasty treat. An American delicacy, or so we hear. And to wash it all down? We suggest cream soda and root beer, naturally. 

Don't forget to put Miley Cyrus, 'Party in the USA' and One Direction's 'Kids in America' on the speakers to set the mood.

Happy Independence Day everybody!
