The Invitations Range - Launching March 6 at Mathilda's Market!

It's been a crazy start to the year for The Party Studio! We've been busy not only celebrating parties for our own little ones, but also in bringing a new level of class for everyone to share in!

Between us, with 3 daughters and 8 little-girl oriented parties under our belt, we'd explored a whole realm of parties for girls. But when it came to planning our first Mr 1's big event, it was all a bit new. We could have done trains, or dinosaurs, or pirates, but nothing seemed to suit the little man but a Little Man party! The search was then on, but despite looking high and low, nothing really fit the bill. It was time to invest our own time and effort into making it happen. And here's what we came up with.












Not wanting to do things by halves, we didn't stop there. We loved the Argyle Print theme of our Little Man invites that the whole party was based around it! Mealboxes, juice bottles, placemats, even the cakes and the birthday boy's outfit were all themed to suit!




And just what did the Little Man think? Of course, he slept right through it! But never mind -- we had so much fun doing our own design work that we decided to go ahead and design some more! Actually, designing our own invitation range had been on our wishlist for a while... so we are thrilled to bits to be launching The Invitations Range from The Party Studio at Mathilda's Market in Sydney on March 6.

The Invitations Range is The Party Studio's brand new line of personalised invitations made just for your little darling! Designed and made in Australia, these quality invitations come in a range of delicious themes and are customised for your child. Each invitation comes complete with a magnet, high-quality envelope and co-ordinated envelope seal, and is bound to 'wow' your guests even before they arrive!



Don't miss the Sydney Mathilda's Markets for your chance to get the first glimpse at this exciting new range!

To invite or not to invite

...that is THE question!

Here's how my list always starts out:

MUST invite
- child's 'best' friends
- other good friends
- other friends who child sometimes plays with when their best friends or good friends aren't there
- all the other boys and girls in the class in case they find out that there's a party and you really don't want them to be left out because you know how terrible being left out makes you and your child feel.
- relatives - part 1: your aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins
- relatives - part 2: child's aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins
- mothers' group friends and children
- playgroup friends and children
- neighbours and children
- your long time friends and their children who are nowhere near your child's age
- your friends who have children your child's age but wouldn't know your child from a bar of soap (but don't you think it's awkward when the birthday guests don't know who the birthday boy or girl is and wishes some other kid "Happy Birthday!" ??)

The party list just seems to grow and grow and when you step back and count the numbers, you are completely overwhelmed at the huge task ahead...culling back your list!

For those of you who have culled several times over and still have a big long list of invitees, check out our new megaparty pack! Now there's no reason to compromise on size or style!

Zero more sleeps!

We've been waiting for this one and are soooo excited.

Thanks to the hard work of our resident tech-head (aka Bec) and Matt from Webnovation, our new website will be up and running from tonight. These two have been working so hard on getting everything just right so that shopping at The Party Studio is even easier.

So many exciting features have been added like being able to save your wishlist, but one thing we are really excited about is 'Create-a-Party'. This function pretty much takes you through the whole thought process of what you need to buy to create an absolutely fabulous party or design your own theme. Of course, for the time poor parents out there (aren't we all), our packages are still there for you to choose from.

So, when you get a spare moment, please do check out our new-look website.
