The Party Hat













The Party Hat

The Party Hat is such a fabulous part of any childs' birthday celebration. And these days, it isn't just the cardboard and elastic cones you find at your standard party store that you have to choose from.

We decided that party hats deserved to become an heirloom piece, stylish and fashionable, reusable, decorative, whimsical, personalized, customized and fun! Inspired by the imagination, our line of custom party hats allow you to choose from a variety of materials, from paper and elastic to festoon and streaming ribbons....from designer fabric and stitched ruffles to hand embroidered felt and velvet...we wanted to take the classic party hat and give it the attention it deserves!

Party hats allow the guests to wear something festive and celebratory for the birthday child. And of course the birthday child can wear something extra special, such as a birthday crown or hat with a monogram, name or other personalized detail!

We are happy to help you design a party hat perfect for your next party. Start from checking out our fabulous festoon trimmed party hats, our classic paper party hats, our exquisite felt party hats and our designer fabric party hats. Don't see exactly what you are looking for? Let us try and help you create it!

Our party hats are all hand-crafted, and vary in price to accommodate almost any budget!

Our classic paper party hats can be customized with colors and patterns. Our festoon trimmed party hats can be personalized with a name or custom colors. Our felt hats can be created in a number of fabulous felts and a one-of-a-kind design can be developed just for you! And the designer fabric party hats can be made in a number of fabric options, and custom table linens, favor bags--even a party frock can be made to match!

FABULOUS FELT FINDS AT KATE LANDERS EVENTS



























I was going to wait to do this post until January, but I simply couldn't, there are just too many darling goodies to share!!!!

I work with a number of incredibly talented and gifted artists and designers, and am thrilled to introduce to you some of the fabulous felt products they have created for us here at Kate Landers Events, LLC!

First, there are the fabulous felt party hats. These were one of the very first items I discovered and fell in love with at first site. It started with the daisies. Then came the sailboat, followed by the turtles and lion, and the farm hat was one we had planned for months but as you can tell, is perfection and took weeks to get it exactly where we wanted it to be. The designer of these darling hats has an eye for detail and is a perfectionist, so you know that every hat, which she makes by hand individually, is going to be stunning. We also created preppy whale party hats, a dinosaur party hat, and there are many more in the works. Have a design suggestion for our exquisite felt party hats? We would LOVE to hear it! Let us know, your thoughts mean a lot to us!

Shortly after the hats were in the works, I found a fabulous treasure in the monorammed felt hair clips. Each one is so precious, the monogramming is spectacular in quality, and the threads and felts used by the designer are the highest of quality. The scalloped edge is what put me over the top, it had that old fashioned appeal to it I couldn't resist. Who would have thought a monogrammed felt hair clip could have so much charm? The newest design are the classic round scalloped single initial felt hair clips, which I absolutely adore. Stay tuned for some darling new designs in January, as I know this designer has many fabulous felt tricks up her sleeve!

What better to go with a hair accessory that a fabulous pair of custom felt shoes?!?! I had to do a double take when I first saw these...the amazing fact that there is so much detail, so much charm in such a tiny little classic mary jane was beyond my greatest imagination. Wow! There are several new colors and designs that will be posted soon--think pink, fuchsia, chocolate! These shoes, created by yet again another brilliant creative genius, are available from the tiniest size to adult sizes! Yes!!! We love these, our customers who have purchased them have adored them, and we hope you will too. These felt maryjanes are simply darling.

When I was on the hunt for some unique cupcake toppers, I found these precious felt rose brooches, and I contacted the designer to see if she would be able to create an exclusive felt rose cupcake topper (two sizes, one for standard and one for miniature cupcakes) and was beyond ecstatic when she not only was able to fulfill that will, but exceeded my expectations and was able to create an exclusive felt rose hair clip as well. This felt is the highest quality I have ever felt, no pun intended! The cupcake toppers are available and will be posted in the Shoppe soon!

Whimsical fairy wings were something I adored as a little girl, and when I discovered this extremely talented artist, I was blown away by her creativity and ability to create such a perfect pair of fairy wings with no wires whatsoever! These wings are plush, soft, fabulously felt, and feature felt flowers and streaming ribbons to make any little one wearing them feel like she could fly away!

And who could wear fairy wings without a felt fairy wand and crown? There is something so dainty about the floral detail on these felt crowns that makes them incredibly sweet. Not only are these crowns comfortable to wear, adjustable with velcro, but they are also available in custom color combinations! Check back soon for the most amazing pink floral crown, you will be blown away! And the matching floral wand features streaming velvet ribbons with tiny felt flowers attached--the touch of the artist, of course!

On the subject of crowns, I have always loved products that are monogrammed, and our personalized felt crowns are perfect for any princess. Also available in custom color combinations, these hand embroidered monogram crowns are dreamy for the little royal one in your life! And of course we would never go without offering a coordinating beautiful monogrammed felt fairy wand to match!!!!

When I saw how precious the hand embroidered felt crown and wand came out, I wanted to see more hand embroidered monogrammed felt goodies. And thus, the perfect personalized present was created: the monogrammed felt toothfairy pillow. We have multiple designs that have yet to be featured on our website, if you are interested in ordering please ask! They are a sweet present and the little stitched pocket allows just enough room for the toothfairy's visit!

One of the last fabulous felt products I want to mention is the felt ruffle-trimmed full circle skirt, featuring a custom felt flower and ribbon brooch. These felt ruffle skirts are darling worn as is, and have even more flair when worn with a tutu or pettiskirt underneath! Available in an assortment of colors, custom made to order, these felt skirts are the perfect alternative to our classic birthday frocks. Paired with a darling pair of tights or rain boots, they are perfection! Don't forget, these were tested and we made sure they were washable and practical for all of lifes little spills!

Coming soon to our shoppe are the monogrammed hand stitched initial pocket felt placemats (beyond cute), the felt party games (I almost cried after we created our first one, it was so fabulous), felt dolls, felt table runners, and much, much more. So stay tuned, and I hope you enjoyed our fabulous felt finds feature!!!!

Thank you to all the wonderful designers who helped create these perfect felt confections!!!

I invite you readers to leave a comment for the designers, letting them know your favorite felt finds!

Monogrammed Calendar Update



My husband brought to my attention that our monogrammed calendar is terrific for men and women alike! He was a huge part of the design process for this project, and he himself has one on his wishlist this holiday season! He suggests the lime green and navy combination, or red and navy combination--something classic and preppy for your monogrammed calendar. Of course the aqua and lime looks great and the light blue and navy is fabulous year round!

We appreciate the fabulous response we have received for these monogrammed calendars, and look forward to offering you more custom monogram products you adore!

Preppy Monogram Calendar Exclusively Co-Designed By & Created For Kate Landers Events, LLC




I have searched high and low for a perfect personalized calendar--one that is practical, and stylish. After struggling to find one that was big enough to write all my birthday parties and other important appointments and events on while not cluttering up the calendar completely, I decided it was time for us to create one! And that is how our monogrammed calendar (custom, of course!) was born!

We designed our preppy monogram calendar so it can sit on an acrylic easel on your desk, or hang by a metal ring (adorned with ribbon, of course!) on your cork board/ribbon board/peg board) so you can easily grab it, see it, write on it, all the while enjoying a color scheme and your monogram to make it truly personalized! It is unlikely anyone else in the world will have a monogrammed calendar exactly like yours!

Birthdays are such important celebrations, we thought they deserved a special calendar. One fabulously unique feature about our preppy monogram calendars is that they do not start in any particular month--meaning you can order them YEAR ROUND--if you missed the calendar sales in January, order one to start in February. You get twelve months (or more if you wish!) starting in whatever month you so desire. We will even personalize the calendar with your own special birthdays and events for an additional fee--all typed up pretty and there for you so you won't forget--they will be part of the calendar!

At a wonderful price point of only $32.50, these 8.5" by 11" heavy white cardstock calendar pages each feature rounded corners, and come with your choice of the acrylic stand or metal ring.

We think they our monogrammed calendars are the perfect gift, and darling way to keep track of all the special celebrations in your life!

What an HONOR it is to be featured on the stylish tasteful entertaining blog, Thoughtfully Simple and their Candy Shoppe party! It was such a joy to be able to help add elements to her precious and sweet theme with some products from www.katelandersevents.com. I think she did a fabulous job tying everything together, keeping the theme througout every last detail. I am beyond impressed. Thank you for the opportunity!!!!

Check out some of my favorite items at the party exclusively from Kate Landers Events: the custom created felt pin-the-gumball machine game (a new take on the classic pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey), created by hand by a *brilliant* artist and especially designed for this event. We will soon be offering these at the shoppe at www.katelandersevents.com, so stay tuned! Need one sooner? E-mail us at info@katelandersevents.com. I also love the designer fabric table runner, a lovely match to the unbelievable Candy Buffet that Tori designed for the event (stunning, Tori!). These custom table runners will be available in January, in custom sizes and fabrics, with custom trims!

Of course I am always a fan of good old fashioned paper party hats, and the classic paper party hats we had exclusively designed in lilac and aqua by a fabulous hat designer matched perfectly. I am so THRILLED to hear that the fabulous festoon trimmed party hats were such a hit, and will be an heirloom. The beautiful streaming ribbons, the fabulous frothy tissue festoon, beautiful paper star, for the first time ever through Kate Landers Events, LLC, offering a personalized name. The always talented creator of these hats did a phenomenal job! Don't forget the personalized swiss dot paper party napkins, a personal touch for any event!

The tissue pom poms look smashing in the most vibrant colors Tori selected. These lovely paper confections are outstanding and will be a new item offered through Kate Landers Events, LLC, very soon!

Last but certainly not least, the Old Fashioned "Taffy Wands" give a true classic touch to the candy buffet. Displayed in Grape & creamy Vanilla, they match the color scheme and add a bit of whimsy to her candy buffet I consider perfection (Look at those darling labels for each candy type! What a brilliant idea!!!)

I hope you enjoy Thoughtfully Simple, a wonderful source of celebration inspiration!
