ROUND UP :: One Smart Cookie Parties

      
Planning a graduation party? What about an idea for the end-of-year school party? Back-to-school party? Perhaps a good 'ol milk and cookies get together? Today I am sharing a round up of some fun & amazing One Smart Cookie parties!

A few years ago I got a request to design this collection: One Smart Cookie, to be used for an end-of-school party and it has continued to be a BIG seller in the shop for me and I believe it's because of the versatility of the collection. Since then it's been used for many end of school year parties but also graduation parties. It is the perfect theme for a younger kid's school graduation. It's also great for a back-to-school party to get kids all psyched to head back, by using this collection and making it FUN for them. I have also had many use it for a general 'milk and cookies' type party for a birthday just by altering the collection a little.

Here it is, the original collection done in the reds, when I first posted about the One Smart Cookie collection:

I also am providing the original party post from the person who FIRST used this collection. She used it for an end-of-year party/ kick off to summer party & has lots of amazing details! I think it's fun to see what different people do with the same collection.

My friend Stefani from Everyday Party Magazine, used this collection for her kid's graduation party and had the colors changed from red to a light blue color palette and I love her ideas she did with this! My favorite is using the nerd glasses for the party favors! ;) So cute!

My friend, Michelle from Maddycakes Muse, used this collection to throw her daughter & her friends a back-to-school party! You must check out the cute ideas she incorporated into her party!

Don't you just love all of the different ideas used with this collection? I have some pretty talented friends that have used this collection. As always, I feel so honored to be a small part of their memories they are making with their kids! =)

The biggest request I have had with this collection is to customize it to the school colors of the person buying it. I have a few alternate color options in the shop but have made plenty of them in varying color schemes. I have just added a NEW color combo to the shop: a GREEN 'One Smart Cookie' collection option but as always I can customize to ANY color you may need!

The colors I have done, upon request, are: burgundy & gold, navy & gold, royal and a red, white & blue. What colors would you like to see this done in? Feel free to comment below with your thoughts . . . thanks! =)

Are you loving the "eye candy" here?

PARTY :: One Smart Cookie Graduation Party

One Smart Cookie Graduation Party
by Stefani

      

Hi, it’s Stefani from Everyday Party Magazine sharing some fun party ideas using the One Smart Cookie collection.

My littlest man is graduating from preschool and I am IN LOVE with this collection for his celebration! 

Little stacks of cookies tied together are a great way to limit the number of cookies each kiddo gets. 

And of course you can't have cookies without milk!  What kid doesn't love drinking milk out of a fun straw? 

How adorable are the smart little cookies going to look with their party favor glasses on while they celebrate?!? 

I can not wait to see their performance and to celebrate their milestone.

{PARTY FEATURE} One Smart Cookie [My Party Passion]

Today I am sharing a fun party collection with all of you - the "ONE SMART COOKIE" collection!

TEAM Eye Candy contributor Melissa, of Melissa Newell Party Stylist and Planner/My Party Passion! told me her idea for this party & I loved it, so a new collection was born! 

(this is her having some fun!) 

This would be a great theme either at the end of a school year or for the beginning of school (which is coming up sooner than we'd like to think - uggh)

Here is what she had to say about her latest event . . .  

You’re One Smart Cookie!

The end of the school year means Summer time fun!  It also means it was time for my annual end of the school year/welcome Summer party for the moms and kids within our small circle of friends.  This year I wanted something different than the usual Ice Cream Sundae party (don’t get me wrong, I love a good sundae with the rest of y’all). I enlisted Laura over at Eye Candy Creative Studio to help me in creating the perfect party for our Smart Cookies!

 

I started by sending her a snapshot of a mock up that I made looking like a big smart cookie.  We now call him CHIP!

All the mothers were asked to bring 1 dozen cookies to share while I supplied the fresh farm milk (chocolate and white).  I purchased the milk the day before at our local farmer’s market!  The cookies were a HIT and the chocolate milk bottles were empty in an hour!  Everyone had fun playing in the play yard and a game of kickball even ensued. 

One creative idea I had with this set is on a few of the items, I glued some google eyes on “Chip” to make it POP a little and come to life!  I loved the look!

I just love this set so much and can see it being used for a birthday party or just a fun milk and cookies party for the fun of it!

Budget Party Tip:  Having a party at a “non meal” time and supplying a snack or dessert item can be cost effective and less clean up for you!

Thanks Laura for all your creativity!
