Hop into Spring When I first got into party planning, I was researching ideas and resources for my own wedding back in 2010. Candy buffets and themed parties had just started to gain popularity, so basic things like striped paper bags and straws were few and far between (hard to believe, right?). It took me an entire afternoon to find bright pink and white striped treat bags for my circus themed wedding, and once I finally tracked some down I was willing to pay any amount for them! Everyone sells them now, and I mean EVERYONE. There is no reason to pay a premium price for items that can be found at Walmart and Target. Now, If I have a client
that is looking to throw an all-out amazing party for their child with no expense spared, I’m not shopping at those stores.
