wants & wishes

Sweet, sweet friends, do I have a treat for you today {and an ahhmazing giveaway below}!!  I get to share one of my very favorite shops and clue you in on something that will hopefully make your life a little easier the next time you're throwing a party!  For those of you who fit the following description, keep on reading!!
  • You squeal (literally) with excitement when planning a party (to the teeny tiny party for two or a big sha-bang with oh, say a mini donkey).
  • Your heart is happy when you've made anything extra special, personalized or exceptionally memorable.
  • You "pin" some ahhhhmazing parties, but don't have a go-to source to help actually make a party like that happen!
<--- 
If that describes you at all [then stop reading and email to meet up - we'll likely be real-world bff's in no time], then you'll love Wants & Wishes Party Printables & Supplies just as much as I do.  I started working with Debbie of Wants & Wishes shortly over a year ago when I stumbled upon her awesome owl treat bag toppers in her shop.  I emailed her and asked if she could change up the color scheme, to match my 4 month old's owl Halloween costume (thankfully, she gets my kind of crazy).  Because you know, I've lost it every first time mom thinks she should hand out custom Halloween treats to her baby boy's "friends".  That was just the start.....and now, SO many fun projects and parties later (hello, Jackson's First Fiesta that I will never, ever forget!), I'm SO VERY THANKFUL that I randomly stumbled upon Wants & Wishes!  Debbie is not only a joy to work with, but she makes throwing a fully customized party affordable!  Yes, please!
I'm really excited to announce that Wants & Wishes is the very first sponsor ever for this little blog AND I'm hosting a fabulous giveaway for a $50 gift card to their studio {SEE BELOW}!  I'm really and truly flattered and excited!  I have always felt passionate about sharing good finds and I love a well planned party like no other....so Wants & Wishes is a perfect fit!

Here's a little "hello" from Debbie, the owner & designer of Wants & Wishes!
***check out a small glimpse of her work in the gorgeous photos at the bottom!


I'm so honored to be Darci's first sponsor and be able to share Wants and Wishes with all of her readers {YOU}! She has amazing style that shows through each blog post. I have worked with her on many projects, including Jackson's First Fiesta..... what a darling party! 

Wants and Wishes is a design studio.  We sell party printables for every occasion, including: birthdays, showers, wedding suites, stationary and logo/ branding. I have an interior design and graphic design degree. I was an interior designer in Southern California for 8 years with a passion for dishes, baking and paper! When I realized my love for paper was growing I went back to school for a graphic design degree and couldn't be happier! It was only natural that I ended up in party planning... so Wants and Wishes was born. I now use both of my degrees everyday working and design party printables! I love learning and gathering inspiration from everything around me! 

With each party designed and stylized by Wants and Wishes is fun and unique. For each celebration we create an atmosphere that will build memories to last a lifetime, including treats you can make with you little ones and some of our favorite recipes! If you don't see a party theme you are looking for we do custom collections also!

An Adorable Pool Party

LOVE them all... and hip, hip hooray for your first sponsor!! I cannot decide which is my fave-- the farm, the Valentine's Day stuff is so cute, loving those popsicles, and love the cookie exchange party! So much cuteness.

KariBeth and Josh Gentry said...

Love them all!

Melinda said...

Yes, pease!!! LOVE the farm party. That is super cute. And soooo Tennessee. HAHA!

Katie @ Chronicles of KT said...

There are far too many I like!! I am loving her holiday stuff and the circus/carnival theme is so cute!

The Little Man party is too cute! I am throwing a shower for my BFF (we don't currently know the gender) and I'm praying she has a boy because I so badly want to throw her a Mustache Bash!

BTW, I share your love of party planning and told my BFF I was planning her shower long ago when she got married! I've been squealing with delight ever since she told me she was pregnant and I can't wait to find out the gender so I can really get this going. I already have boards on Pinterest for both genders...just in case!
