It's always fun to plan birthday parties, but be sure to not stress out too much about it. Be in the moment and just enjoy the planning process. We are sure it will be worth it once you get to celebrate with your loved ones.

It's always fun to plan a party, but it can also be a headache, especially when things go wrong. But we cannot always make things perfect. There are some common mistakes that people make when planning a party, but you can definitely try to avoid most, if not all, of them! Here are some common mistakes when planning a party that you should avoid:

1. Not making a guest list. This is important, especially when you are planning a bigger party than usual. You have to know the number of people you should expect, as well as how you can handle the seating arrangement. This will also help you out when you only have a limited space for the party.

2. Not deciding on a theme. A theme is important when throwing a party. This gives the party more fun and excitement. You can search for ideas on the internet, or even ask your friends for inspiration. Or... The best choice would be asking the celebrant what they want the theme to be. This way, everybody is happy!

3. Invitations are sent out too early or too late. When you are inviting people over, you should know the best time to send out the invitations. The invitations need to reach your guests at the right time: not too early or too late. If it gets to them too early, then the event could be forgotten. If it's too late, then the guests might not have enough time to plan to attend. The best time would be far enough in advance to guarantee guests won't already be booked, but close enough to the date that they will be looking forward to attending.

4. Not planning ahead. Just so you have everything organized, you need to make a checklist of essentials. List down the things you have to do in advance and the things you need to do right before the event or on the day of the event. You should avoid rushing around last-minute things on the very day of the party so there's less stress for everyone. Find people who can help you out with errands and tasks.

5. Not giving important details to your guests. You have to keep in mind that your guests need to know the important details such as the directions to the location or even just contact details for getting directions. You should also let them know what type of food will be served, just to ensure that no one leaves hungry. If you have a dress code, then that should also be included in the list of details you have to let your guests know.

Back in the days, it's difficult to find the perfect gift for your loved ones or find the most amazing tokens for your next event or celebration. Now, there are so many options that you can choose from, and to make it even more special, you can simply customize!

We all deserve a little fun now and then, and we've got the perfect thing for you! If you love candies and lollipops, here are some interesting facts we've found just for you:

The word “candy” comes from ancient Indian Sanskrit. Khanda means “a piece of sugar.” Years later, the Arabic version moved one step closer with qandi. The Middle English word “candy” began to be used in the late 13th century.

The first candy came to America in the early 18th century from Britain and France. Only a few of the early colonists were proficient in sugar work and were able to provide the sugary treats for the very wealthy. Rock candy, made from crystallized sugar, was the simplest form of candy, but even this basic form of sugar was considered a luxury and was only attainable by the rich.


Machine-spun cotton candy was invented in 1897 by the dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton, and first introduced to a wide audience at the 1904 World’s Fair as “Fairy Floss” with great success, selling 68,655 boxes at 25¢ per box (equivalent to $6 per box today).

Nobody knows for certain who invented stick candy. The name lollipop was first coined by George Smith, owner of a confectionery business called the Bradley Smith Company. George Smith named the stick candy after his favorite race horse Lolly Pop. George Smith trademarked the name lollipop in 1931, the name has since fallen into public domain. However, George Smith’s story of how he thought up the name might be a true horsetail, since in the northern part of England, “lolly” means “tongue” and the word lollipop may have first originated in England.

Americans buy approximately 600 million pounds of candy for Halloween every year. If you’re not sure what exactly that looks like, consider this: The Titanic weighed about 100 million pounds. Now, picture six Titanic ships made of candy. That’s a lot of candy!

The largest candy was made by Nidar, Trondheim, Norway and weighed 1.6 tonnes (3,527 lb). The Smorbukk variety of candy was displayed at the Nidar factory on 12 August 1997. The giant candy measured 1.54 m (5.02 ft) x 1.54 m (5.02 ft) x 45 cm (17.7 in) and was a scaled up version of the original product which is commercially available in Norway.
