Party Paper: Pot(Luck) of Gold

St. Patrick’s Day never gets as much attention as some of the other holidays (especially when Easter is just around the corner!), but I think it’s always worth celebrating. With a potluck (of gold), that is! Throw a little gilded gathering at work, with friends or with the kids and celebrate that pot of gold we’re all searching for at the end of the rainbow. â€”Kelly

NYNOW Winter 2015, Part 8: Meri Meri

I may have let out an audible gasp and a few excited squeaks while walking around the Meri Meri booth at NYNOW. An entire booth full of the most amazing party supplies you’ve ever seen â€“ from donut plates and gift tags to seriously cool letter banners to confetti rockets and cupcake kits. Too much to squeeze into a highlight post, so I’m sharing some of my favorites from theÂ Meri MeriÂ booth here!

So cute, right?! That’s a wrap on the Winter 2015 NYNOW market â€“ but if you missed any of the previous posts you can find them right here!

NYNOW Winter 2015, Part 7

I always describe the Kate Spade and Ban.do booth as the happiest booth at any trade show. And really, with that much sparkle and color in such a small area, how could it not be??

1. I seriously covet that amazing watermelon cooler bag and leather totes (oh, and this striped duffel bag) from Ban.do â€“ and a sneak peek at their 2016 planners coming soon!

2. So much sparkle at Kate Spade, from a gold polka dot ice bucket (WANT) and hologram silver leather notebooks to gold glitter coasters!

3. Love the gorgeous fabric totes, bags, and zip pouches from Maika â€“ so many wonderful patterns and colors!

Jennifer + Michael’s Hand Lettered Gold and White Wedding Invitations

These elegant wedding invitations fromÂ Alex ofÂ Goodheart DesignÂ incorporate delicateÂ blind impression details, whimsical hand lettering, and a whole lot of gold ink! Simple, sophisticated, and absolutely beautiful.

From Alex:Â This was a super fun invitation to create! It was for a friend who wanted something simple and elegant with a little bit of a Spanish twist. All three pieces were letterpress printed by Czar Press on 110# pearl Lettra paper with gold ink for the lettering and wording and blind pressed (no ink) vines. The blind pressed vines added just enough Spanish detail without overdoing it.

The bride chose envelopes in three different colors, which was an amazing choice, and I hand addressed each outer and inner envelope with gold ink. I love being able to incorporate my hand lettering into the invitation as well as on the envelopes â€“ I think it adds a beautiful consistency to whole suite.

Thanks Alex!
