Why Lightweight Bags Are Best for Young Kids
Choosing the right bag for a child involves more than picking a fun design. Behind the colors and characters, one of the most important features is the material, and how much it weighs. Lightweight materials offer several advantages that can make a big difference in your child’s daily routine.

If you’ve been following thus far, let’s keep it going (and conclude) with all of the non-fashion items that played a big role on my big day. In my opinion, it’s the small details that can drive a bride crazy. Today, there are tons of DIY brides or brides who just want to save a buck or two. Here are some websites and things I did to add that little touch to my wedding.
-Stationary-
When getting married, being a printer’s daughter is a huge plus! All of my printing needs were taken care of (by myself of course). Fortunately, I knew a thing or two about graphic design so I was able to design my invitations myself. I did, however, need envelopes. I have lots of experience creating invitations for weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, you name it. My go-to online stores are Envelope Mall from Chicago, IL and Cards & Pockets from South Easton, Massachusetts for all my envelope, cardstock and pocket needs. They have a vast selection of stocks from kraft paper, metallics, neons, pastels and so much more. In my experiences, their prices are the cheapest. Envelope Mall, I find is a better choice for larger quantities, while Cards & Pockets caters to small to large quantities.
I found some luck finding my translucent/vellum and grey mailing envelopes at The Papermill Store. Don’t be afraid to order paper swatches before you make your big order. All these websites allow you to order swatches because we can’t always rely on our computer screen.
Yes, being a printer’s daughter makes printing cards easier. However, sometimes you have to weigh out the pros and cons of making your own versus ordering them from another company. For my bridal shower thank you cards I decided to try Minted. I had signed up for an account and received a free credit so I gave it a try. Browsing through their large collection of cards was a little overwhelming because there were just so many lovely designs to choose from. Ultimately, I chose Dappled designed by Olivia Raufman – a personalized rose gold foil print on kraft-like paper. It arrived carefully packed, exactly as pictured on the website.
Why didn’t I make this myself? 1) I do not have the capability of doing foil print 2) I didn’t have to order materials 3) Prices I thought were reasonable and most importantly 4) Time was of the essence. It felt really nice to receive this package promptly with no assembly or work required! Overall, my experience with Minted was a plus.
-Favours-
Deciding on what to give for favours took some time. I always loved the idea of giving a donation on behalf of my guests to an organization but, I still felt like I wanted my guests to be able to take something home with them and use. Finding something useful was key for me. One evening, I was shopping at my favourite store, Marshalls (yay!) and came across a water botter with an infuser. I loved it and knew right away that I could try to make my own version.
Voila! After several weeks of browsing through Alibaba.com, I found it. Alibaba is a source for exporters to sell their goods. Products are made in China and you can pretty much find anything you want here. The downside to this website is that many exporters are looking to sell large quantities and therefore, have large minimum order quantities. If you’re having a large wedding, I would take a look here. If you need less, I would suggest checking out AliExpress which is a sister website of Alibaba but for lower quantities (Prices may vary). You can create one login account to access and purchase from either website. Since I was ordering over 400 pieces, I was able to find what I wanted from Alibaba. The prices were great but do remember, items coming from overseas will have customs fees, higher shipping (in most cases) and require more time for shipping.
I also ordered these paper straws from AliExpress and had a great experience. Shipping was speedy and free! Like all websites, I still recommend reading reviews and checking all shipping policies as they will vary from vendor to vendor. Through my process, I contacted several vendors for quotes and they all responded in a timely manner.
-Photobooks-
I am a big fan of Shutterfly and making photobooks. Yes, I have all my photos on my phone and my computer to look at, but it’s just 100 times better when it’s published! For my guestbook, I wanted guests to sign something that I would be able to keep forever. You all know how much I love my cards. This guestbook would be like one big 30-page card! We also had engagement photos taken and I thought it would be a good to have those photos displayed also. I have always used Shutterfly for my photobooks and decided to try a new website for kicks. I went with Blurb and was very happy with my book. Their software for creating the pages was easy to use and the overall quality was very good. I have to say the main advantage is that their Canadian website offers cheaper shipping and shorter delivery times.
-Dancing shoes-
Thanks to Pinterest, I knew I had to get my wedding guests some dancing shoes! What a brilliant idea to have flip flops on the dancefloor. And, what a horrible idea it is to pay full price for this brilliant idea! Brides, if you have the time, plan ahead and time out this purchase. I bought my flip flops at the end of two summers ago when summer clearance happpens. Joe Fresh had these on sale for $2 each in my colours, grey and black and enough quantities to avoid me going to multiple stores! I would also check Old Navy for their clearance also. My mom loved the idea and I assume my guests made use of these because there were none left at the end of the night.
-Miscellaneous-
Any wedding or party is always in need of some ribbon, bags, and tissue paper. Do you hate settling for the tissue paper colours at the dollar store or buying twenty rolls of ribbon because there’s only 3 yards in a roll? Well, I have some solutions for you. When I first walked into a Creative Bag store, I was in party planning heaven. I told my friends about it right away, while I was still in the store. Don’t let the name fool you because it sells more than bags. We’re talking a huge selection of bags, boxes, ribbons, name cards, lanterns, tissue paper, wedding favours, tags, and more. I snagged these gift boxes for my bridesmaids here. Creative Bag is a Toronto area based store but of course, has an online store as well.
Another great website for party planning necessities is Paper Mart which is based in California. Their selection is even larger than Creative Bag as they also offer containers, shipping materials, and other paper items. Ribbons from both stores come in spools of 25, 50 or 100 yards depending on widths at significantly lower prices. I don’t even want to imagine how much it would have cost me to buy ribbon at Michaels or a fabric store for all my favours, and my 75-feet aisle runner.
Friends, that concludes my series on my wedding finds! I hope that you have gathered some helpful tips for your own wedding and party planning needs. Please do share any tips and great sites you have come across in your own search. I would love to hear more!
Until the next party (or wedding! Kidding.)

A Party for the Fellas
The men in our lives rarely get thought of when we enter party planning mood. After all, the ribbons, pastel colours, and flowers don't exactly scream "man." But with Father’s Day approaching we put the focus on the fellas on our newest episode on Petite & Sweet TV. This week, our wonderful partner, Creative Bag and ourselves will put all our girly instincts aside to teach you how to plan an event for that special man in your life. Whether it’s for Father’s day, a birthday, anniversary, or just simply because, make him feel special with these simple tricks.
We wanted to show our viewers how simple it can be to create a theme that the men would appreciate. We chose to focus on a "Business Man" theme for our first table. As always, we took our inspirations, including cigars, newspapers, suits, and oranges and created a mood board to organize our thoughts.
It’s a fact that all men love food, but the "Business Man" tends to enjoy the finer things in life. Keeping our tale sophisticated, we placed chocolate covered almonds in glass jars, chocolate cupcakes with orange zest buttercream topped with pistachios, and chocolate cigars on our table. Treat your guy to delicious cupcakes by following the recipe below!
This week we brought a special guest on the show, Sabrina Greer, who designed a specialty cocktail for our “Business Man." Take a look below for a recipe to the delicious Not-So-Old-Fashioned signature cocktail with bourbon and orange zest.
Whether they enjoy it or not, the business men in our lives wear suits daily and often read the paper. To add a special touch to this table, we covered our table with Newspaper printed wrapping paper. We also placed napkins folded as dress shirts on the table. To learn how you can create these original napkins at home, follow the six easy steps below.
Printables are a must on any Petite & Sweet table as they add an element of creativity. We wanted the guys to have some fun at his party, so we created some funny photo-booth props that you can download and print for free below!
Please follow link.
When the business day is over, there are few men who wouldn't want to unwind by watching a game on the couch. For our second table, we took cues from favourite sports like golf and baseball as well as the colours white, green, and red.
This table featured delicious chocolate covered bacon, chocolate cupcakes, white chocolate caramelized 'baseball' macarons that we drew on with red edible marker, and cake pops. Bacon is definitely an all time favourite food, if you’d like to make chocolate covered bacon at home, just follow the recipe below.
Sabrina Greer worked her magic once again to create a specialty cocktail called The Gold Medal. Made with tons of cold beer and topped with pickles and more bacon, the lucky guy in your life will definitely owe you one when you make him this satisfying drink by following the recipe below.
To customize this table, we used wooden risers from Creative Bag, and painted them green with white field lines to complete our “Sporty Dad” look.
Once again, for a little fun, we created a large foam finger with MVD (most valuable dad or most valuable dude) written on it. You can download the printables for free below!

Popcorn Done Two Ways
Popcorn is a food everyone enjoys, mostly when they're curled up on the couch by the T.V. This week on Petite & Sweet TV we wanted to disprove the misconception that popcorn is just a food for lazy movie nights. For this week’s video we’ve created two mini tables along with Creative Bag, to prove that popcorn can be used for any occasion!
Our first table is inspired by an old-fashioned movie-going experience and the colours red, white, and black.
We’ve used two different types of vessels for the popcorn. For those who love a bit of extra flavour, we chose to use a closed box with pre-measured seasoning that guests can just pickup and shake.
We’ve also included open boxes filled with plain popcorn and set out salt shakers with vinegar, ketchup, and cinnamon seasoning so that guests can have some control over the amount of flavour they would like. Both types of boxes fit perfectly with our old-fashioned experience and can be purchased from Creative Bag.
Candy always makes a great addition! For a combination of salty and sweet treats, we’ve laid out jars of raspberry jujube’s and chocolate buttons. Whether you add it to your popcorn or not, it’s always nice to have a little something for those with a sweet tooth at your party.
Keeping our theme in mind, we chose to offer old-fashioned coke bottles for refreshments along with red and white stripped straws from Creative Bag!
Creating an invitation for your event is a great way to set the tone for your party. We've also created movie stub labels to let our guests know what they'll be nibbling on. You can download both the invitation and tags for free below!
Please click here!
We love keeping our tables interactive, so we created a vintage T.V. out of foam core for guests to take some goofy pictures with. Watch how the pictures will become sillier as the night progresses!
Our Second table is inspired by shades of purple and fresh lavender.
To create an elegant look, we drizzled white chocolate and lavender over the popcorn. This is an easy and fast way to add a bit of flavour and sophistication to your popcorn. If you would like to try this at home, just follow the instructions below!
We placed the popcorn into paper cones that we wrapped in purple wrapping paper. We also used scalloped boxes that we customized by painting purple flowers overtop.
To carry our lavender theme throughout the table, we used purple ribbon over various vessels to create different levels on the table.
Its always nice to have a single floral on the table. We placed fresh lavender on top of a stack of old books to add some height to our table. We also placed a single strand of fresh lavender into each of the straws in the champaign flutes.
