BOWLING party

Most of the time, what we do is children's parties, but we DO also get adult party requests!

Here is one we recently did for a friend who was throwing her husband a surprise 30th birthday party at the bowling alley!

We hand designed and created the bowling pins and ball too! 

Such a fun banner and it translates to adult as well! :)

See this banner in our shop here

Hello from Japan!

Konichiwa!! Hello from Japan! 

Thanks to Rachel for holding down the fort while my family and I travel to Japan for two weeks to introduce my daughter and husband to my family and celebrate my cousin's wedding! :) 

Here are a few highlights from our trip so far!

Visiting the Ueno Zoo near Tokyo. They are famous for having a panda and all I heard from Natalie for the weeks before our trip was "Pandas in Japan!!" so she was very excited to go!

We visited the Ninja museum. As some of  your remember Natalie's Ninja Hello Kitty Birthday Party 

she had a blast and enjoyed the Ninja show! :) (pictured with her grandfather too!)

Visiting the "white phoenix" castle and proving baby #2 was there too!!

Natalie trying to see the Golden Pavilion :)  LOVE how she is standing on her tippy toes!! <3

Hanging out with her grandmother at a temple in Kyoto, Japan up in the mountains. GORGEOUS view!

Once we returned to my hometown of Kumamoto, we visited the pre-school that my mother and I attended as children. My aunt now is the principle there and arranged for Natalie to visit and play with the kids. :)

And the main event! My cousin Saori (who was really more like a sister to me growing up) married her sweetheart, Daisuke on Sunday, April 28th! Natalie was a flower girl equivalent. :) She was a little overwhelmed by the whole experience, but I did manage to get a cute photo of her calm. :-p

It's been a great trip and there is still more to come, but I will be returning soon to the US to hit the ground running on all of our upcoming ADORABLE parties! 

See you soon! :)

Fun with Toddlers- coloful eggs

For Easter we made some colorful eggs! I got six different containers and filled them with water and emptied the yoke out of the eggs.

 

Then I gave him the little dye tablets to put in the water and mix.

 

 

He loved putting the eggs in the colorful water!

 

 

The dye was pretty faint since I used farm raised eggs from my neighbors chickens, so we used food coloring and dripped it directly onto the eggs for a fun design!

 

 

Real life parties- Pink preppy whale party

A mama in our playgroup, Emily is ready to POP with her 2nd baby girl! But even though that may be the case, she put on an adorable and fun party for her daughter Ellie's 2nd birthday!

Here is a family shot! Ellie was really excited!

Natalie exploring the back yard. She had lots of fun activities outside for the toddlers to do!  I also matched Natalie's outfit to match the party since I knew the colors! :)

The birthday girl! Adorable pic and such a cute outfit! (also coordinated, of course!)

And here is the banner we did for her! 

She did a great set up for it with a chalkboard showing all of Ellie's' favorites at age 2

Friday feel the love- butterfly party

"Excellent workmanship and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend this shop to my friends. Everything turned out so cute. I can't wait to decorate for the party"- Tina in Florida

butterfly baby shower centerpiece

Here is a butterfly baby shower centerpiece we did for a client in Hawaii!

She was doing an all PINK party and so this is what we came up with! :)

Close up on the butterflies!

LOVE the stroller! how cute!

And the big announcement..... It's a girl! :)  (for that mama to be, not ME! lol! I don't find out until May 7th! can't wait!!)

paper doll cupcake toppers!

A mama who has worked with us before requested that we help her with a "career day" themed birthday party for a nine year old girl!

She asked us for some cupcake toppers that would fit that theme and specifically requested a teacher, a writer and a fashion designer! I decided to go with adorable personalized paper dolls!

Here is the whole gang!

Close up on the cops! She asked for just a few boys since there were be a few boys at the party, so I made both girl and boy cops!

Next up, the writer! Her note pad sticks up with a 3D block!

Speaking of 3D accessories, the teacher also has a 3D apple! (along with adorable roman sandals!!)

Then we have a little fashionista--- the fashion designer!

Now the pair of doctors! (wearing.... crocs! It's the little things....)

Finally, the ballerina! :)

Hope she has a great birthday!!

farm mini centerpiece

Mini centerpieces are all the rage right now!! 

They are smaller and adorable and make a simple statement without overtaking the whole table!

Here are two farm animal centerpieces we did recently in our barn animal theme!

Personalized with the child's age and age, along with animal of choice and "Happy birthday"

We can do horse, sheep, cow, pig, chicken, you name it!!

see this in our shop here

sesame street party!

A mama in New Jersey held an adorable party for her son, Pricey who is turning 1!

She wanted a SUPER rush order of a name banner with Elmo and Cookie and also some "1"s for mini centerpieces she was putting together herself!

We love helping DIYers especially in today's Pinterest world where ideas are boundless! Speaking of which, be sure to follow us on pintrest!

This is one of my favorites  visually. I just love all of the different patterns, ribbons and bold colors! SUCH a fun one for a one year old's birthday! And what one year old doesn't LOVE sesame street!

Fun with toddlers- Dress up!

Dress up is ALWAYS fun at this age! Parents love how cute they looks and kids love the costume! It's a win-win!

We checked out all the gadgets that went with this costume!

He was talking into the megaphone and spraying water from the fire exstinguisher!

He loves fire trucks so this costume was perfect for him!

elmo party

A friend of mine, Jess is having a party for her son Johnny who is turning 2!

She had us do some invitations and then loved it all so much that she asked us to help with the rest of the party!

Here are the matching thank you notes including a 3D Elmo!

Favor bags featuring Elmo and all his friends! 

And a welcome sign!

Unfortunately, Natalie was sick with the flu that weekend so we had to miss his big event at the Little Gym, which we were bummed about!

But I'm sure it was a great event if Jess had anything to do with it! 

Friday feel the love- brother monsters!

"I'm a repeat customer and have come back to RandR Creations because Rachel and Reina treat every order as if they were making decorations for their own children's parties. They listened to my ideas and comments and always provided me with sample photos of the items they were working on. I placed a huge order for my sons' joint birthday party that I was hosting overseas. They kept me informed throughout the entire creative and production process. The items arrived earlier than expected, which helped since I was mailing them overseas for the party. The party was held on July 28 and it was a huge success. Everyone commented on how wonderful all the decorations were. I will return for future parties!"- Charlotte, NYC

real life parties- YGG again!

Avery turned 1 and his mama was MORE than prepared for his big day! :)

His party was in December and she is already planning his 2nd!! 

She was kind of enough to share some photos of the big day!!
