When it comes to custom-designed paper goods, no one does it quite like RSVP Stationers. RSVP owner Curry Blanton and her sister Whitney Wieck know precisely how to help clients wow their guests through all things custom-made and personalized. When Whitney started planning her daughter Virginia's third birthday, she knew exactly how to create those extra-special details that make a party unforgettable, even for a three-year-old and her friends.
Virginia's tea party was every little girl's dream: sweet, whimsical and filled with charming personal touches. The theme? Join us for tea; Virginia is three! From paper cups designed to look like fine china to a strawberry cake—her absolute favorite—every detail reflected the birthday girl's personality.
Of course, the custom invitations and napkins from RSVP Stationers set the tone. "The invitation is the first impression," Whitney says. "If it's cool and interesting, your guests won't forget the party—it gets them excited before the event even starts!" Her other pro tip? Always order extra personalized items like napkins and cups so you can keep using them long after the party is over. Whitney takes it one step further: "If you don't include identifiers like the date of the party, then you will have personalized cocktail napkins to break out anytime you're hosting!" A gift that keeps on giving.
Lush florals from Le Fleur brought the tables to life, and a cookie decorating station was a hit. Three-tiered stands overflowed with flower-shaped sugar cookies, bowls of bright sprinkles and piping bags filled with colorful icing. And for a final special touch, sunglasses and friendship bracelet party favors added a bit of spunk to the day for a birthday girl who loves to accessorize!
As a creative force behind RSVP Stationers, Whitney knows that personalization makes all the difference—whether for a child's birthday or a wedding. "Etiquette is important, but so is making sure the invitation feels like you," she says. "If you really listen, it's easy to tell when a client wants your opinion, and when they just want guidance."
From the pink invitation to the last bite of strawberry cake, Virginia's tea party was a celebration filled with fun, creativity and thoughtful details—proof that a little personalization goes a long way in making memories that last.
