Invitations

Teddy Bear Party Decorations

Is there any better teddy bear party than a picnic? We don't think so! For a picnic, the ideal venue is in your garden or a local park. Decorate with cute picnic baskets, gingham picnic blankets, and helium balloons. Featured Image: Mind My Beeswax For an indoor party, decorate with gingham bunting and lots of cute teddy bears around the room.

Games

Once everyone has arrived, its time for some activities and party games! Here are our favourite ideas. Build-a-bear Kids will love a build-a-bear party - whether that's at the shop itself or DIY. Featured Image: Par-T-Pets Why not buy your own bear making kit, and spend the afternoon getting creative at home? It's an amazing idea for smaller birthday parties, and will leave kids with their own bear to treasure, too. Colouring in For quieter parties, a bit of colouring in is ideal. Hand out cute bear print outs and have the children colour them in. The best one could win a prize, such as tasty gummy bears! Sleeping Bears An adaption to the traditional sleeping lions. Have children pretend to be sleeping bears on the floor, and the adults can be the hunters! Whoever moves or laughs on the floor will also become a hunter. The last bear wins!

Food

There are so many cute food ideas that are perfect for a teddy bear party, especially an adorable picnic. Firstly, you will want sandwiches or pizzas in teddy bear shapes. To really get into the bear theme, honey sandwiches are ideal! For a lighter snack, add 'Pombear' crisps, fruit, and tasty cupcakes. Featured Image: Hungry Happenings Cupcakes in the shape of bears and paw-prints are perfect.

When you're getting married, you may be unsure of who should receive a wedding invitation. Does every individual guest get one? Do couples and families share an invitation? We've written a quick guide to help you out:

Individuals

If you are inviting a friend to your wedding who is single, you will just need the one invitation for them. Featured Product: Botanical Heart - Wedding Invitations Make sure to mention if your friend is allowed to bring a plus one or not, or you might end up with surprise guests on the day!

Individuals with a plus one

If you have a larger budget, or are wanting a larger wedding, you may want to let your guests bring someone else to your wedding, too. Specify that they can bring a plus one by adding 'and guest' after their name, e.g. 'to Lucy and guest'. Featured Product: Ornate Heart - Tri Fold Wedding Invitation & RSVP If they have been seeing someone for a while, you may want to write both of their names on the invitation. It is only polite.

Couples

If you want to invite someone with a partner, it is common etiquette to invite their partner too, if they have been together for a while. For couples, you can share an invitation between the both of them, e.g. 'to Lucy and Liam'.

Couples with children

For couples with younger children, add their names onto the invitation, e.g. 'to Lucy, Liam, Harry, and Emily'. If their children are aged over 18, you may want to send them their own invitations, especially if they don't live with their parents. Featured Product: Rustic Mason Jar Flowers - Boutique Wedding Invitation & RSVP However, if you are on a strict budget, don't worry too much about sending everyone an individual invite. For child-free weddings, you will also want to specify this on your invitations or guest information cards. We hope you have found this blog useful!
