The time is nearing for this year’s grads to throw those caps in the air to celebrate their achievements. Be sure to invite and announce your graduation date early to make sure relatives know when and where to come (and where to send those gifts;). Check out these contemporary graduation invitations below:

“Love Birds” is a cute wedding theme that has been popular lately. From the cake topper to the event stationery you can make the little details work together to create an event to remember.

Here is a DIY tutorial for a “Love Birds” cake topper that you can try your hand at:

My motto for event design is, “why should weddings have all the fun?” Why can’t everyday events experiment with wedding decor inspiration – creatively and on a budget?

Here’s a cute and simple decor idea for your upcoming party or semi-formal (or even not-so-formal) social event. This is a great idea for Sweet 16 parties, other birthday celebrations, baby showers, celebration dinners, or any other event you might think of. If you like the look of chair covers but don’t have the money in the budget to get them, you can still make your chairs look fancy by tying colorful strips of cloth around them.

For a special women’s celebration I organized at Southern Methodist University, we ordered plain white table cloths and red and purple napkins, but we needed something else to spice up the tables. We conveniently found long pieces of sheer purple cloth hiding in our school’s attic.

Our event planner Vonna (from V Events) had the idea of layering each table top with a colored strip of cloth, then tying a bow around every other chair. With the other decor, the bows looked simple but cute and made the chairs look dressier then usual.

If you don’t luck out with a batch of cloth strips hanging out in your attic, visit your local fabric or hobby store and buy cloth in the textures and colors that will best fit your event. Try to find a fabric that will cut neatly and not leave you with ragged ends. Then make strips long enough to tie around the backs of your chairs. It’s a great way to make a casual event a little more detailed and out of the ordinary.

16 is a special year in any girl’s life, and you can make your birthday girl’s day memorable with simple steps and attention to detail. Here are a few tips for the party and creative invitation picks:

- When sending out invitations be sure to pick a design that expresses her personality and the theme and formality of the party – will it be a casual and laid back celebration or more dressy and formal? Be sure to note that on the invitation.

- Picking a theme or colors you can carry out throughout the invitations, response cards, thank you cards and decorations are the little details that make an event consistent and stand out. Have zebra stripes on the invitations? Maybe add similar accents to the napkins or another element of the decoration scheme.

Speaking of zebra stripes here are two bright animal print invitations by Envibrance, one of them which recently won a Zazzle Artist Award and is currently featured on Zazzle’s Sweet 16 Invitations page. You can click on a design to purchase and customize.
