A Royal Tart Giveaway

In just a few more days, spring will have sprung and if that’s not reason to celebrate, I don’t know what is! I am more than ready to start planning outdoor events and of course, hosting a few indoor celebrations as well. If you recall, Royal Tart is the establishment that catered our Tea Party last year with such success. We all loved them so much that we were just dying to see what they had up their pretty little sleeves for us in the upcoming months.

I think we have all felt the economic crunch and so, feel the need to be more cautious in our spending. That’s why I’ve taken to long term investment purchases like a Celebration set from Royal Tart. Any one of these lovely sets are perfect for starting a tradition ; just think what a special heirloom they would be to pass on to your children! Each time they set their very own table for a celebration, they would be reminded of days gone by, the days when you hosted celebrations of … them. Besides, all of the Celebration themes have so many options and variances of what you can do that you may find yourself using the sets on many different occasions. That’s what I call an investment! I just love the Flutterby Birthday Tea Celebration and I can imagine many uses for this set. How about a special Mother and Daughter Tea on Mothers Day? These are the things that memories are made of. With the perfect setting and some guidance, helpful tips (and incredibly divine recipes!) from Royal Tart, it’s sure to be a festive celebration.

Spring and summer are such a grand time for celebrations; here comes the birthday parties, the ice cream socials, Mothers Day and garden parties. I just love to host such events and I insist that they be extra special; presentation is everything! Compare a birthday party with paper plates in the dining room to an outdoors Flutterby Birthday Tea and you’ll see what I mean. Butterflies have always been extra special to the youngest of little girls and Royal Tart notes that your tween will absolutely adore a butterfly celebration in her honor. Imagine your little girl’s delight when you lead her out to the yard full of butterflies ; she will indeed feel like a garden princess. Royal Tart provides directions for wands (a definite must have at this party) and butterfly bracelets for the girls to make as well. What a lovely spring afternoon birthday!

One of the reasons I adore Royal Tart is not only the fine, reasonably priced themed sets but the fact that their services don’t stop with the sale of the set itself. Celebrations require much more than a place setting and Royal Tart goes that extra mile to ensure that yours is a success. How many companies like this have you run across that also offer you crafty fun projects and befitting recipes for your themed celebration? Tricia, the proprietor of Royal Tart, wants to make sure you’re not stranded with no support when planning your big celebration. She is just the sweetest, most helpful and talented person; you are going to love her as well!

Tricia has added other new celebrations to the Royal Tart inventory as well and if you celebrate St. Patricks Day, you are in luck! With an amazing 40% discount, you can use this celebration for more than just St. Patricks Day! I also like the A La Carte items and I am currently adoring those Red Metal Pedestal Plates. All of the items in A La Carte are meant to supplement the celebrations I know but I can’t get over the singular beauty of those and since they’re on sale, they’re only $34.80 for two of them! Talk about butterflies fluttering; my little heart is all aflutter over those! While you’re there, be sure to check out the Easter offerings as well. What a delightful hatbox Easter basket ( she can keep her girly things in when Easter is over, how sweet!).

Tricia has very generously offered Fractured Toy readers the chance to win a $50 gift certificate to apply to your purchase at Royal Tart. You can use that towards any celebration set you like or you may choose to use the $50 gift certificate to purchase an item to start you off on your way to collecting a very special heirloom quality set.

Celebrating in Royal Style Made Easy as Pie!

An attorney-turned-entertaining guru recently launched a new company in North County. When she became overwhelmed and tired with her busy life as a working woman and mother, Tricia Blum, Esquire, decided to start a new business that would help other women that were in her same situation.
Blum remembers how the innovative concept of her company, www.RoyalTart.com, was born. “I was really busy last year, transitioning out of consulting. I was working tons of hours, trying to be a good mother and a wife, and hold down my job. I was busy and overwhelmed. Then, one night I got a call from a close friend, and she asked me if I would throw her a baby shower.”

While Blum was frantically buying party favors, decorations, and planning menus for the baby shower, she realized that delivered-parties was something that every busy working woman and mother of young kids needed. She also realized that women wanted easy party planning for birthday parties, weddings, and holidays, too. So, Blum decided to start up her own company that would offer “entertaining solutions.”
“Now busy women can entertain with style and ease,” the founder of RoyalTart.com admonishes.

Indeed, Tricia Blum has made entertaining easy. Blum has taken countless seminars and classes, and now puts all that knowledge into her party packages. Blum and her staff at RoyalTart.com shop, design, style, and organize pre-packaged celebrations. The prepackaged celebrations on RoyalTart.com include invitations, decorations, cloth napkins and table linens, ceramic dishes, a suggested menu, recipes, celebration tips, party favors and specialty food items.

Ordering the complete party package online enables anyone, regardless of time or skill, to host a stylish celebration, with minimal effort. RoyalTart.com sells prepackaged parties and celebrations for every occasion, and at varying price levels. Themes include: St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Fourth of July, birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, anniversaries, and all holidays.

RoyalTart.com has several “Green” components to it. All party packages come with ceramic or china plates, natural cloth napkins and tablecloths so the host can reuse the elements again and again (or something like that) No paper products are used. Also, by ordering through the Internet, there is no need for paper receipts and no waste of your gas; all business can be done electronically. “We believe in offering quality products. We also believe in reducing the landfill waste (we recycle all our shipping boxes and packaging) that so often happens when people gather together to celebrate. By offering ceramic plates and cloth linens…Royal Tart has successfully married the beliefs of quality and waste reduction.”
“More people are celebrating at home now,” Blum offers, when asked about the economy. The company concept works with the downturn in economy since people will continue to celebrate their milestones, but will spend less money doing so, and are more likely to celebrate at home.

“Women are busier than ever, working and trying to hold down the household.” Royal Tart saves women time and aggravation. Throwing a party requires a few clicks on the Royal Tart website and nothing more. All the party favors, china, cloth linens, teas, recipes and party tips will be sent to your door step.

What’s Tricia’s motto? “Royal Tart makes celebrating life’s occasions as easy as pie!” See for yourself at www.RoyalTart.com
