Etsy Party Vendors

One of the first places I look when I plan a party is Etsy of course.  It seems that the sky is the limit for finding the exact thing you are looking for big or small.  Not to mention all the customizing that most shops will do if you see something you like but want it tweaked a bit.  And the small details are really what gets me excited...I even found heart twist ties for the cellophane heart bags I laid out on the candy table.  They were shipped to me from Hong Kong and the whole transaction was $5!  Here are some sources I recommend and search terms I used if you are looking for items for your next party:

Bake Me A Party: Heart Straws

This shop has patterned straws in just about any color, patterned treat bags in coordinating colors, bakers twine in multiple colors (can be really hard to find!), and miscellaneous other accessories all at really good prices.

SucreShop: heart wood utensils

I don't think utensils for a party can get any cuter than the wooden ones from this shop.  They have so many great patterns and can even customize as well.  I had seen a fork with one wood heart on the site. I was set to order when the owner suggested a custom order with multiple hearts, and I loved how they turned out:

KrystalsJewelNDesign: Heart Cello Bags

I used the red heart cello bags on the candy table.  This shop also sells paper goods and jewelry.

Handmade Hair Bows: Custom Birthday Bib

This cute bib was printed with my daughter's name, and she did some extra customization by adding the "1" for me.  Lots of bibs and onesies on this site in stock patterns you can personalize.

SaraLukeCreative: heart washi tape

There are so many uses for washi tape at a party I was so happy I had this on hand.  But this purchase doesn't do this shop justice, there are over 40 pages of paper goods, invitations, personalized favor bags, and more choices.

GoodiMochi: Heart Twist Ties

The aforementioned twist ties from Hong Kong.  Speaking of washi tape, this site has a ton!

cupcaketree: personalized conversation heart stamps

I ordered these customized small heart stamps you can see at the top of the favor bag: one says "Riley," the other says "one," and the third says "thank u" (not pictured).  These can be used well past her birthday for other projects. There are so many other stamps that can be personalized on this website that are so adorable, I can see myself getting a little obsessed!

IlovedielineStudio: valentine return address label

I purchased these return address labels for the thank you cards.  I think personalized return address stickers are a great alternative to customized stamps, as they are a fraction of the cost and still provide a theme touch as a final hurrah!
