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! =)

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.

COLLECTION :: One Smart Cookie - Back to School

I recently had someone request a collection for me to design. She home schools & was having an end-of-year party to celebrate with her moms group. So we made it happen & here it is!

This collection would also be PERFECT for a milk & cookies party . . .a BACK to school party, graduation party or ANYtime you want to celebrate how 'smart' your child is!



Introducing the . . . .

'One Smart Cookie" collection!

Here's what you get in this collection . . . 

(pictured above}

1. banner - the banner included is pennant style & says "CONGRATS" & includes our cookie character

2. tags / toppers/ circles - use for accents to your table decor - simply cut them out or use a punch, glue to lollipop stick or toothpick & done!

 

3. drink flags - comes in 2 different designs with the red gingham & the chocolate chip background - attach these to straws or toothpicks for a fun way to coordinate the party decor

4. food / drink / decor labels - comes with 2 different designs of the gingham print - each will have "one smart cookie" at the top & you have plenty of room underneath so you can write in whatever you need to label

 

5. paper pack - use for accents to your table decor - simply cut them out for what you need - around bowls, vases, mount behind the toppers, use as napkin wraps, place in frames, etc.

6. table signs - you will receive 2 different designs that will fit a 4x6 frame - one will say chocolate milk & the other will say white milk  

7. framed art - 8 x 10 print can be framed to use as decor on your table. Says "CONGRATS - You're one smart cookie!"

 

Hope you love this collection as much as I do!
