If I were having a Quinceanera, I would want Hugo Benson of Hugo Benson Photography to be my photographer. He’s based in San Diego and doesn’t come cheap (his packages starts at $2,000), but he gives his Quinceaneras the experience of a lifetime and turns them into bona fide celebrities!
Hugo is one of the main [...]

I was just talking to Sharon Chase, otherwise known as Princess Sharon. Sharon throws high-end princess, fairy, rockstar, and spa parties for girls, teens, and adults in the Boston area.
What got me interested in Sharon is how one-of-a-kind her parties are. In fact, I’ve never seen anything like it.
For her Musical Princess Tea Party, Sharon [...]

I consider myself a mild foodie, I shop at the farmer’s market almost weekly, and I go out of my way to avoid trans fats.
However, my husband and I were recently in North Carolina visiting family and we went to a local Walmart, walked down the snack aisle and couldn’t resist the Hostess Cupcakes. [...]

I was talking to LA based party planner, Suzanne Carvlin, also known as Suzanne The Party Girl. She specializes in throwing parties that are a little less conventional than your typical hotel ballroom wedding with rubber chicken.
So I asked her some questions to get her expert advice on how to approach throwing a [...]

I think I’m in a nostalgic mood. Today, my two-year-old daughter, pretending to be a doctor, gave me a shot, then offered me a pretend lollipop to make me feel better. Remember when all it took to make you feel better was a lollipop?
Well, I found this cool site called the Sweet Lollipop Shop that [...]

This is a brilliant cost-saving idea. Let’s say you’re throwing a party and want one of those beautiful designer cakes but don’t want to spend the money, what do you do? Buy a fake cake instead.
The fake cakes are covered in fondant, which is what cake designers use, but underneath it, pure Styrofoam. And the [...]

You can now have your Quinceanera at Disney World and be a real Disney princess. The prices for the parties range from $1,800 to $20,000. Definitely not cheap. But since Disney is also doing princess wedding dresses (they ain’t cheap, either) http://www.disneybridal.com/ this is the obvious next step. So where are the [...]
