It seems like we’re all consumed with planning big simchas these days. 2008 is a big year for the girls in our family. Hazel, Petunia AND Ketchy will all be Bat Mitzvah before the summer is over and we are going party crazy! Between the studying and practicing and guest lists and debating about menus, themes and (most importantly) what’s for dessert we’ve barely got time to shop. Barely.

All that simcha shopping is SO much easier when you shop at Zara Israel Judaica Mart. From personalized kippot and tallitot to Judaica and just about the biggest selection of Israeli t-shirts around. They’ve got it all. It’s as if the best of Ben Yehuda street landed on your desktop. Only better. They’ve got rock bottom prices, no lines and you don’t need to schlep anything home in your baggage.

Baby Shower Bliss

Posted in Cake and Cookies, Entertaining, New Baby, Party Favors, Party Decorations, Party Planning at 10:51 pm by Deb Savvy

My friend Julie is expecting any day now.  Her nieces and sisters-in-law gave her an absolutely lovely shower a few weeks ago.  They thought of everything.  Decorations, place cards, elegant party favors, beautifully decorated cookies and petit fours.  The table looked like something from Martha Stewart Living.  It was unbelievable.  

We all gushed about how perfect everything turned out.  When I asked one of the hostesses how she managed to pull off such a perfect baby shower - she laughed and said it was nothing.  She ordered every thing except the lunch online.  The cookies, petit fours, decorations, favors and themed accessories were hers in only a matter of clicks - from Beau-Coup, of course.

Not Just for Cinqo de Mayo

Posted in Entertaining, Party Decorations, Fun Ideas, Party Planning at 7:43 pm by Deb Savvy

A pinata can add a festive touch to almost any kind of party.  Kids love the traditional ’smash and grab’ candy feeding frenzy, but there are many other ways to enjoy a pinata.  I was at a first birthday party a couple of weeks ago (the cupcakes were AWESOME, by the way) and the decorations consisted mostly of bunches of happy face balloons anchored by colorful pinatas - so cute!  And we’ll even be able to use the pinatas again!  You can even hang a pinata for a fun splash of color when you’re not having a party.
