There are so many events in life, big and small, worth celebrating. This is Kate Landers, here to share with you a personal event, along with some tips on creating your own simple and unique party.

Our son Noah was diagnosed with severe plagiocephaly and torticollis as an infant, and underwent treatment including a helmet. You can read about our story here.

When Noah completed his physical therapy and helmet treatment, we decided to host a little celebration! You can also celebrate your own “Hooray!” moments, such as running in a charity race, performing in a recital or finishing a thesis, with very little prep time. Here’s how we did it:

1. Simple Decorations: In our light green and blue color scheme, we decided on two simple decorations for Noah’s party: Fluffy tissue poms on the cake table and surrounding floor (no need to hang from the ceiling with fishing line – this kept set up very quick) and a “Hooray for Noah!” garland.

2. Handmade Party Products: Handmade party products are on-trend, whether you craft them yourself or support your favorite handmade party business. My dear and incredibly talented friends of Icing Designs custom-created pennant garlands with festoon trim, ruffled crepe and hand-glittered letters, along with matching invitations, cake topper and rosette pins reading “Hooray for Noah!” for guests to wear.

3. Ruffled Cake: If you follow wedding and party sites, you’ve probably seen many ruffle frosted cakes. Whether frosted on the sides, top or all over, they add a festive touch. We went with a pale blue cake ruffled only on the sides so the cake topper would stand out.

4. Bamboo Cutlery & Paper Party Products: Finally, opt for simple and classic paper party products! I love using the ever-popular bamboo cutlery at my events. We kept ours plain, but there are many options to decorate with tape, stamps, glitter and more. In addition, we used rectangular paper plates with coordinating napkins. The best part? Each place setting fit perfectly into a darling matching paper favor bag, creating a pretty display of meal essentials that guests could easily grab. Noah absolutely LOVED sliding the plates in and out of the bags, so it served as a surprise dose of entertainment for the littlest guests!

Lastly, don’t stress with steaming those fabric table linens… a simple white table works perfectly. We even repurposed a desk drawer to display the place setting pouches as described above. These touches kept everything so simple, especially due to a quick and easy set up and clean up!

I am THRILLED to say that Noah’s helmet is nothing but a memory now, and we cannot wait for our next “Hooray!” moment as an opportunity to gather loved ones and enjoy cake and laughter.

We love the fresh palette of playful prints in mint, coral and lavender that is popping up this Spring. Cynthia Vincent’s Lizard Color Block Dolman Dress embraces the trend flawlessly by putting a spin on a classic animal print.

X marks the spot with one of the most versatile furnishings you can own: the Jonathan Adler Rider Bench! Known as an “X bench,” this style easily transitions from one room to the next. We explored a few different looks, beginning with this sophisticated bedroom design where one (or even two) X benches positioned at the foot of the bed serves as a functional seating or dressing area.

In a foyer (above), the X bench tucks neatly away beneath a console table, ready to pull out and use as extra seating when you entertain. The X bench is also an ideal option in the living room (below), placed directly across from a sofa as an alternative to chairs, especially when a chair would block your view of the television or out the window.

Whether you decide to place your X bench in a bedroom, foyer or living room, the best part is that its small size makes it easy to move, so you can experiment with new furniture placements to your heart’s content! Shop all Jonathan Adler furnishings >>
