I'm taking you all back a few years to 2019 when this simple yet beautiful event was held. And i feel before i can show you *todays* events, I feel i need to take you all back in time, to show you all the things I was apart of that I never got to *really* show you! Including all the feels and lessons learnt! I was apart of ALOT of (free) collaborations in 2018/2019 - 26 to be exact-ish ( from what I can remember lol) and while they were ALL soo stunning, some of my fav events to date and opened a few non profitable doors, I learnt very quickly ( yet stubbornly didn't act ) that doing free collabs didn't pay the bills or put food on the table despite "exposure". It was a hard lesson to learn and took me 3 years to really understand the lesson and how valuable my time and skills were. I struggled to say no or ask to be paid, even just for my time or for materials. I truly believed that there would be some sort of R.O.I ( return on investment), but there wasn't, well, not financially anyways and not instantly either. Having said all that, though, I do see the "value" in doing the "right" collab. Not every collab will be in your best interest, but if you land your ideal one, it can do wonders for you. Some things I've learnt: - make sure their target audience is your target audience. - check their insights and engagement rates. Ask them for it! - make sure they are a brand that actually cares about you and your business and not just after freebies. ( that never ends well) - a green flag would be they pay for your time or materials at minimum ( you shouldn't be going out of pocket for their event. Exposure is not payment.) - a red flag would be a last Min request ( can you do xyz in exchange for exposure by this weekend ) note: if they pay you for it, it's a green flag and their organisation skills are prob just lacking ( which is common in the industry). - if they mention they will tag you, do story mentions, etc, make sure you have a contract stating all these wonderful things. Especially when they will do it, how many times and what photos/videos they will use, etc. I know it sounds OTT, but come the event, sometimes they "forget," and there goes your r.o.i.

I love options! And i hope you do too as I bring to you 13 party favours - with options AND available in packages. Diy - perfect if your on a budget, have lots of time to sit down and apply labels and purchase items. IDIFY - perfect if your running short on time and need a hand. Hate applying labels. I do it for you means everything is good to go come your event, all you gotta do is take it out of the box, assemble it ( if the product requires it , eg. Party boxes may be flat packed so they don't get squished in transit) and put it on the table. 1. bottle wraps - to suit 600ml or 350ml bottles 2. Choc wraps - with or without foil detail 3. Pop Top bottle wrap - diy or I do it for you (IDIFY) 4. Party Box - little or Large - filled or empty - label only or IDIFY 5. Pencil Box - Flat or Tube - label only or IDIFY 6. Bonbons - label only or IDIFY 7. Cutlery Sleeve - with or without cutlery 8. Mini m&m labels - diy or IDIFY 9. Placemat - arch or rectangle. 10. Labels - all sorts of sizes and shapes to suit 11.

Favours is the name, Party is the game! Did you know I do party favours??

SO here it is! An event from 2019 and what it would look like today if they got the whole kit. ( well not the "whole" kit coz that would be too much stuff but you know what I mean). What's featured: - A6 activity book - mini pencils in custom box - placemat - cutlery wrap - lollipop stickers - choc wraps - little lunch box ( filled or empty) - water bottle wrap #melbournepartysupplies #partyfavoursmelb #favours #ballerinaparty #melbevents #handmade #partygifts #birthdayfavors #partyideas #partydecor #pinkparty

When you get shots of your products at their event, doing their thing! The sign being the signage and the topper becoming a cake topper! Thanks so much @starrieee for having me 🥰

When a split decal is applied flawlessly. You can't even tell that it came in 3 separate pieces. 🫢 yes the top 5cm is split aswell ask @willowtreeevents haha. Since the start I learnt how to split decals, they were generally the once every now and then sort of decals that I only got ..once every now and then, and couldn't justify upgrading my equipment with at the time. I eventually upgraded but just the next size up and here I am cutting the "once every now and then sort of decal" on my upgraded cutter haha, it's not a bad thing, it's growth but until I get more large scale decals, there's no rush to upgrade especially with this split decal technique down pat. Have you ever applied split decals? Was it scary? Was it a fail? Did you manage? Letme know in the comments below! Maybe I can help with ur techniqe ☺️

When I get asked how quickly I can turn around an order, most times, the answer is within 48 hours from the design being approved for print (yes, I've mastered my craft 😊). The part where it takes the longest is the design stage. If you don't know what you want, then I don't know what you want and this can prolong the design phase with an overload of "too many options" and not knowing what you're after. With all of my products, the price I charge includes 4 rounds of proofs. So the more information you give me, the higher the chance I'd get the design you're after in the first 4 shots. Some tips: 1. Details - Send me as much detail as you can. This may include your colour palette, theme, the feel you're going for, fonts you are using, if you want me to match the invite, what decorations or event stationary you may already have. 2. Create a mood board with lots of inspo pics. There's nothing wrong with saying you want this sort of design with another pictures feel and vibe. 3. Check your emails or dms regularly. There is nothing worse than having a proof sent over sitting in "sent" but not read for half the day. More often than not if proofs were checked regularly, the order would process the next day instead of still being in the design phase.
