Bachelorette parties are one of our favourite parties to decorate and host here at Pink Frosting.  You can be frothy, fun, and really girly because it really is a celebration of girliness, love and friendship.  And the best way to express all of these sentiments is with the girliest pink, feathery fluff and kitchiest decor you can imagine.  This is our Pinkalicious Bachelorette Party (No Boys Allowed)!

The Hens Party in a Box is the perfect start for any Bachelorette Party.  We took so many elements from this fantastic box of tricks and used them as stationery, decorations, labels, tags and favors.  The invitations included in the box are a great headliner for your Pinkalicious Bachelorette Party.

From top to toe, our Pinkalicious Bachelorette Party is fluffy and pink.  Starting with budget conscious hot pink paper lanterns strung from the ceiling with a satin ribbon.  Hanging from the base of the lantern is one of the small paper doilies which come in the fabulous pink Sweetheart Paper Doily packets of 72 pieces (can you believe that?  These are one of our favourite new decorations at Pink Frosting).

We’ve created some fun pink flowers for the table using the LollyPop Pink Party Plates by Paper Eskimo.   Super-easy for even the non-craftiest hostess, simply stick two paper plates back to back against a piece of dowel and stick the base into a clump of blutak covered with some fabulous feathers (to cover any nastiness).

We’ve filled two large vases on either side of the plate flowers.  One with water pearls and one with conversation hearts. 

For each place setting, we have placed the other paper doilies from the Sweetheart Paper Doily sets under each simply white plate.  It adds a pop of colour to the setting.  On top, we’ve used the fun stickers from the Hens Party in a Box which includes some fun nicknames for the guests and guest of honour.  Each place setting includes a glitzy antique acrylic place card holder   which is another of our favourite new products at Pink Frosting.

Finally, we’ve used the Bachelorette Party sign from our Hens Party in a Box and the Bridal Bouquet Table Centrepiece to give a little more kitch to the table.

Our fun toasting flutes are so fun, aren’t they?  With giant diamond rings in the centre, they are truly a bachelorette party must-have.

Finally, our gorgeous favors are the very popular With This Ring engagement ring keychain favors by Kate Aspen.  As we wanted a Pinkalicious look, we removed the thank you tag which comes with the favor, and placed on our own pink circle tags which make the favor really work for the party theme.

If you want to see our gorgeous set-up in person, come on down to see us at the Pink Frosting showroom at 35 Whyalla Street, Fyshwick in Canberra.

Happy Celebrating!

Here are some of the Pink Frosting team’s favourite bomboniere designs from Kate Aspen, but you can view the whole collection of 250+ favor designs here.

Butterflies Laser Cut Favor Box in Sage Green or Pink, including gorgeous satin ribbon and a finely detailed, silver finish butterfly charm.

Golf tealight candle favor and placecard holder with fun golf-themed place card is the perfect favor for a golf-themed event, or a fun enhancement to an anniversary, wedding or corporate party hosted by a true golf-lover. 

It’s a Shoe Thing stiletto heel shaped bottle opener is one of the most fun favors we’ve seen for a while.  It’s heavy-weight, so whimsical for a girl’s night out celebration, whether it be for an 18th birthday, a bridal shower, hens party or a gorgeous little Christmas gift for your friends and colleagues.

The nest egg scented egg-shaped soap in a nest and a gift box (in blue or pink) is by far our favourite new baby shower and christening favour.  It is just so adorable, I’m not even sure you need me to say more!

The topiary place card holder (also an adorable photo holder for your desk after the event) is just such a fun design we want to build an event around it.  Wait for spring and use these on your table to create such a buzz with your guests.

With this ring chrome diamond ring bottle stopper is such a great take on the ever-popular bottle stopper bomboniere.  We love it as an engagement party favor, for anniversaries and also as a girly wedding favor, perhaps with a complementary bottle stopper for the guys.

The Love-sicle lightly scented popsicle soap is so divine it reminds us of days in primary school.  What a gorgeous baby shower, kids party or bridal shower favor?  Oh so sweet!

Hand fans as favors are such a great idea for a beach or garden wedding and we have never seen a hand fan favor as divine as these silk hand fans in a laser-cut box (with a matching personalised tag if you like) in ivory or black.  Yes, yes, yes!

Oh so gorgeous.  With over 250 favors to choose from, you will surely find something for your wedding, baby shower or other special event!

Happy Celebrating!

Renowned around Australia as one of Australia’s leading wedding planning companies, we opened the Pink Frosting online store a little over two years ago and it quickly became a hit, representing brands never before seen in Australia.  The online store features invitations, decorations, favors and accessories for weddings, parties, baby showers, kids celebrations, christenings and seasonal celebrations such as Easter and Christmas.

Our new showroom is filled with glamorous ideas and products to help inspire brides, entertainers and everyone who loves to celebrate create a truly magical event.

Pink Frosting’s shop opened with the intention of bringing the world’s best wedding and party decorations to Australia.  As event planners and stylists, we know how difficult it used to be to source unique and lovely wedding and party decorations and accessories, so we simply started importing them ourselves.

The store’s strength is that the buyers are experienced event and wedding planners and stylists so customers can feel secure that the products really work.  We not only bring these gorgeous things to Australia, we also demonstrate on our website how to use them through our beautiful galleries and event planning tools and ideas.

Now with a showroom open to the public, a little gem in the nation’s capital, anyone who wants to see the products in the flesh, can do this in a beautiful environment, with the assistance of one of Pink Frosting’s wedding and event stylists.

Online shopping is growing dramatically in Australia, but there will always be a group of customers who would prefer to touch and feel the products before they buy.  Our showroom allows customers to do this with the added assistance of a professional stylist to show them how the products work as well as help them theme and style their event.

Pink Frosting’s team of in-house wedding coordinators are available to see clients by appointment at 35 Whyalla Street, Fyshwick Canberra.  For an appointment, please call us on 1300 855 633 or email Pink Frosting at info@pinkfrosting.com.au.  Customers outside of Canberra can still get their Pink Frosting fix by visiting the online store at www.pinkfrosting.com.au .

We hope to see you soon!

Some of the ways you could spoil your fella include:

* Pamper him like you do yourself. Add his name to the booking the next time you’re heading off for a spa appointment to ensure he receives some well-deserved pampering as well. Shout him a facial, a massage and other great spa treats to make him feel as special as you do.

* Buy him an engagement gift as well. I know it’s traditional for him to give you a beautiful ring, but it’s always lovely to return the favour with a handsome new watch or something equally as valuable to you to ensure he has a keepsake from the engagement as well.

* It’s becoming more and more common to have joint showers and bachelor/bachelorette parties. Why not do it together and mark your time together instead of your “last nights of being single”…

* Don’t forget lovely gifts for your man and his groomsmen. One of the most popular new ideas is to buy personalised cufflinks for the boys to wear at the wedding and then they have a great keepsake forever. Pink Frosting has some gorgeous designs for you to choose from and we personalise them free of charge for you.

Whatever you do, remember that the day is about both of you and try and involve your man as much as you can in the planning, parties and pampering!

Taking advantage of the auspicious wedding date (070707), the couple are planning a joint pre-wedding party in St. Tropez before their Paris nuptials this weekend at the luxurious chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte.

The couple have decided to dispense with the usual bachelor and hen parties, instead opting to hold a his-and-hers’ celebration at an exclusive VIP location in the idyllic French resort. Apparently, the plan is for his friends to have one-half of the club and Eva’s party to be on the other side.

In other news about the couple, Eva is said to have sold her wedding photos to OK! magazine for a whopping 2 million dollars. HEY NOW! That’s some wedding gift. No one will confirm the actual number. But the NY Post claims they have the figure right.

Now that you’re engaged, you and your man need to start planning your big wedding day together!

I guarantee it’s a good test of your relationship to plan such a significant event together. So, what kind of groom is he?

Our friends at The Knot have put together a fun quiz to see if he’s a master planner or just a master of the remote control!

Happy celebrating!
