Graduation Sign In Board for 
Brad.....BRADUATION!

Or....
maybe a Gift Card Box themed just for you.

One or several pictures can be added.

 

We love making custom gift card boxes for 

those envelopes that graduates receive.

We also have fun making 

CUSTOM CENTERPIECES.

We can add several themed items into a centerpiece or
make something with your hobby or an electric or
acoustic guitar or maybe a school logo.

Visit our other website at:

www.guitarcenterpieces.com to see more like these.

Here's an idea that would work with

ANY SPORT or HOBBY. Even a

photo would work well at the top.

A centerpiece/gift card envelope box like

this can be made in ANY COLOR and

personalized specifically to you.

Just give us the components like schools, 
name and colors and we can make something
one-of-a kind.

Gift Card Boxes can be school related or

more focused on favorite hobbies.

 

Dribbling a ball and cap.....funny fun stuff.

 Elaborate or elegantly simple...we can do both.

Spring Fling/ Sign In Board & Ceiling Decor

Spring Fling in purple, fushia, yellow and lime.

Here's a Sign In Board we did that is one of the few that we

have done without a photo. I loved it!

We also did some ceiling decorations over the dance floor.

We took purple tulling with cracked ice rope lighting inside it.

We swagged that first all around 3 sides. Then we took one #40 sized

ribbon on the top of it and 2 under it.

In each swag that was pulled up to the ceiling there was a cluster of

3 big gerbera daisies, some leaves, some gossamer, some 6" tulling and ribbon streamers on both sides. We pre-made those clusters and just needed to lift and place them all around the perimeter.

So pretty and so much work climbing the ladder..up and down a million times.

Well...maybe not a million....it just feels like a million.

Name in lights for big stage

Here's the actual party setting for the big centerpieces from the last post.

Stacey and I also made really BIG 4 foot letters that were loaded with lights. Actually over 1,000 lights between both the names. We poked holes and inserted lights for hours! But what a cool effect it made on this really big stage that was over 40 feet wide.

I made Stacey and our superdupper helper Ryan stand next to the letters so you could get a sense of how big they were.

The venue, The Royal Oak Music Theater, was very dark and we even had to set up in semi-darkness. The beautiful silvery linens and those big lighted names on the stage made the party glow and sparkle.

I think this is one of my most favorite parties and we loved working with the party planner Andrea Solomon.

Funky Musical Keyboard BIG Centerpiece

These centerpieces were over 4ft. tall.

Big and Swirly.

These funky keyboard spirals had purple

cracked ice foil on the keys.

The poses of the twin girls were very fun and

in the style of real ROCK STARS with

microphones, special clothing and party makeup added.

The 3D musical centerpieces looked interesting and

different from all angles.

These Bat Mitzvah centerpieces were for a party

in Michigan. Unfortunately, they would not be easy to

ship or to assemble if they were mailed. You'd have to fly us out

to assemble them on the spot because not only were they

very large, they took some finessing to get them just right.

But I think they'll be remembered.

My FAVORITE THINGS: PART 2: ZIPPER POCKETS

It's about time to give up my polar fleece jacket with all the wonderful zipper pockets.

I stopped carrying a purse almost 12 years ago when my sweet grandboy Jacob was born. It was just too difficult to worry about a purse with all the baby paraphernalia. It had to go and I haven't missed it a bit.

I now go for anything with zippered pockets. The more the better. There have been moments when I've had too many pockets and was overwhelmed with all the choices but now I can't cope with life without wearing something that I can zip zip zip!

They have to zip. I discovered that after my cell phone sat outside on the ground by my van all night because it slipped out of my unzipped pocket as I slid out of the door. That never happens when things are all zipped up!

Look at these great new capri pants with the perfect...and I do mean PERFECT.....iphone pocket. They definitely do fall into the category of My Favorite Things.

"Night Club" theme signs and foamcore kleig light

Whether you need SIGNS or CENTERPIECES or maybe a GIFT CARD BOX...we can make something fun and creative with a Night Club theme.

This gift card box had a battery operated light wire.

I think a Night Club theme is a fun and easy going theme.

You aren't locked into the "expected elements" like you are with sports or fashion or movies. You can branch out to something like zebra prints & fringed lampshades or make it disco or just do flowers and a custom logo.

Pretty much any colors will work but bright and bold neon colors are dazzling.

This D.J. sign had 2 very faux kleig lights at the top of the sign.....very fake, flat and one dimensional here but don't they look realistic. These lights look good too with actual little lights poked in the light area. They also look cute in a little skirted dance stage centerpiece for a dance or Broadway theme. They sit on the edges and face upward.

I also see a trend towards more "Open Seating for Kids" signs instead of placecards for kids. Great on the budget. And, of course, the important "Welcome" sign to greet the guests.

Here's a simple sign and matching simple free standing centerpiece.

UPDATE TO THIS POST:


Now in 2010 we have these very cool battery operated foamcore kleig lights. They would be GREAT for a night club theme. You could use them as table centerpieces. They light up and look cool on the table without any electrical cords needed. The light can be steady on or rotating colors. The light is not harsh so it would not be distracting at a dinner table. But they also would work well on a specialty table like the a Candy/Sweet Table or Welcome/Placecard display.  Think Creatively!

Here's a picture that shows the little bulbs that are in the light that give it such an amazing effect.

Sweet 16 V.I.P. Sign In Board

Here's a lovely SIGN IN BOARD that

was so much fun to create.

Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp

walked the red carpet with

Samantha in her special dress for

the evening.

All our younger kids around here cracked us

up when they asked why "Larry" from

"Howie Do It" was on the board with her.

We had to explain that was Johnny Depp.

Ah....he does resemble him though.

Samantha's name was in 3 separate

cut out layers and black sparkly glitter.

It was so pretty and very dimensional.
