Big Dot of Happiness Review & Giveaway Announcement

I recently started shopping at BigDotOfHappiness.com and I’ve been really happy with their products. They have over 30 unique vibrant colored and fun shaped themed tableware – so many to choose from that you’re sure to find what you’re looking for to perfectly compliment your next party! I’m VERY excited to announce that they will be involved in the upcoming Moms & Munchkins Fan Appreciation Giveaway – stay tuned for more details! Let me tell you a little bit more about them & their products because I’m sure you’re going to be as excited as I am about the big upcoming giveaway!

I really like their unique squiggle shaped plates and I’ve recently purchased some for my son’s first birthday party (photos here) and an upcoming Sweet Pea baby shower for a friend. They are a great place to go for birthday, baby shower, bridal shower and anniversary party supplies.

They sell convenient party packages with all the accessories you need for a fabulous party. This  means fast & convenient shopping for  you with perfectly paired themed items! Check out a few of their fun party pack themes:

 It's A-Boy Mates! Pirate  - 16 Baby Shower Party Pack  Funfari™ - Fun Safari Jungle  - 8 Birthday Party Pack  Monkey Neutral - 8 Birthday Party Pack

I recently held my son’s first birthday party and we did an Under The Sea theme. We ordered the plates, napkins and return address labels from Big Dot of Happiness. The plates & napkins are brightly colored and so sturdy! We ordered enough return address labels to go along with the invitations and thank you cards. Unfortunately, I only found Big Dot of Happiness after I had already ordered his party invitations. If not, I would have loved to order their unique squiggle invitations with the 11 lines of personalization.

 Under The Sea Critters - Personalized Birthday Party Invitations With Squiggle Shape  Under The Sea Critters - 30 Personalized Birthday Party Return Address Labels  Under The Sea Critters - Personalized Cookies For Baby Showers

Now let’s talk a bit about baby showers, shall we? They have many fun themes for baby showers. They also offer many sets personalized for twins and triplets – how cute is that?! They have many unique games – the cutest games that I’ve seen. I don’t know where they come up with these great ideas! If you’ve been following Moms & Munchkins for a while, you may remember that I featured their Who Smells The Stinky Doo Scratch ‘N Sniff cards in a past giveaway.
Who Smells The Stinky Doo? Baby Shower Game -  20 Scratch 'n Sniff Cards - CaucasianI’m planning a baby shower for a friend and the Sweet Pea theme is exactly what I was looking for. I purchased the squiggle plates, mini candy bar wrappers, napkins and I will be purchasing the squiggle personalized invitations once we have a date chosen. I really like the mini candy bar wrappers because they are stickers that you can easily place on mini chocolate bars. Yes, you read that right – no more messing around with the glue stick to try to get on candy bar wrappers! Now my only concern is trying not to eat the chocolate before the baby shower!

Here are some other cute accessories for a Sweet Pea Baby Shower:

 Sweet Pea Caucasian  - Personalized Baby Shower Banner  Sweet Pea Caucasian - Mini Personalized Birthday Party Favor Boxes  Sweet Pea Caucasian Birthday Party Tableware - 32 Big Dot Bundle

It was tough to choose just two games for the shower but I chose the Itty Bitty Baby Parts Game and the Dirty Diaper Game. Check out more of their fun baby shower game ideas here.

 Itty Bitty Baby Parts - Ultrasound Picture Baby Shower Game - 12 Pictures and 25 Player Sheets  Pink Dirty Diaper Game - Girl Baby Shower Game  - (10 diapers)

The Itty Bitty Baby Parts game is so clever! It consists of 12 different ultrasound pictures with a baby’s itty bitty part pointed out in each image and the players must guess what that part is on their playing card (25 playing cards included in every pack). It’s such a cute idea for a game! I remember going to ultrasounds for my son and being so excited to bring the pictures home…and then not being able to tell what I was looking at later once I got them home. Funny how you can’t really make out what most of the parts are in the pictures yet they are the cutest pictures you’ve ever seen. :)
The Dirty Diaper Game is a great party ice breaker and a great game for even the shy guests. As guests arrive to the party, give each guest a diaper pin to wear for the party. Don’t tell them why just yet! When you are ready to play the game, say “I smell something stinky? Does anyone else smell that? Can everyone please check their diaper?” the lucky winner is the one with the brown fake poo in their diaper. Cute, right?!
As I mentioned earlier, I’m very excited to announce that BigDotOfHappiness.com is participating in an upcoming Moms & Munchkins Fan Appreciation Giveaway. Stay tuned for more details! In the meantime, pop by their site to view some of their great products or join them (along with over 22,000+ fans)  on Facebook – BigDotOfHappiness.com.

Sweet Pea Baby Shower – Games:

Big Dot of Happiness has a large variety of unique baby shower games that are sure to entertain. Click here for a listing of some of my favorites. Games aren’t necessary at a baby shower but they do help by getting the guests interacting with each other.

A fun & simple idea for a baby shower is to host a diaper raffle. Each guest that arrives with a package of diapers is given a raffle ticket to win a prize. This is a great way to stock the mommy-to-be’s home with one of the essentials!

Sweet Pea Baby Shower – Food:

Dainty, bite-sized appetizers are the way to go for baby showers. Serve light snacks such as puffed pastry appetizers, dips, small sandwiches and vegetable trays. Try this delicious Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip (and it’s green so it will match right in!).

You can go with a green themed food table with items such as guacamole, dill dip, broccoli, celery, snap peas, green pepper, cucumber, salad and spinach dip.

Sweet Pea Baby Shower – Dessert:

Small cupcakes, cream puffs or other bite-sized desserts are excellent choices. Really…you can’t go wrong when choosing desserts, right?! If you want to stay in the same green theme, you can serve kiwi tarts, green grapes and cupcakes with green icing.

Another fun idea is to add a few drops of green food coloring to a white cake mix to make green cake. Turn this into cake bites rolled in green meltable wafers. When done, you’ll have some oversized peas – sweet pea cake bites!
