ROYAL TART – Forum/Blog

On behalf of Royal Tart I would like to personally thank Mannequin at Fractured Toy. Mannequin wrote a lovely blog about Royal Tart last week and offered a giveaway as part of her Blog Carnival. Below is her May 3, 2009 Royal Tart blogspot. If you have never had the opportunity to check out her site please do you are in for a treat. Mannequin has a wry sense of humor. Thank you Mannequin!

It doesn’t matter what kind of party you plan, what foods you’ll be serving or what’s up for entertainment. Unless you set the stage, your party is going to be just another {ho hum} regular old gathering.

I think it’s a very wise woman that invests in a nice set of celebratory dinnerware. Chances are you’ve noticed at upscale restaurants just how much difference a nice set of dinnerware can make. Even a simple pickle or a slice of chocolate cake can look like a work of art. And it is art!

You can be an artist when you have the right tools, the right dinnerware. The dinnerware is the background and the foods you place upon it complete your masterpiece. Get creative and match your food colors to your celebratory dinnerware , tell your guests it’s a costume party (and meanwhile, it’s not), buy some red dinnerware and have a devilishly good time outdoors.

Being a hostess should be fun, it’s your time to shine. It’s your dinner party and you’ve got a captive audience. Now you just need to wow them.
Royal Tart celebratory dinnerware is worth every penny, girls. Consider the price of a meal out and consider a lifetime of memories. Memories as in; “Her table was divinely set. I asked her where she had purchased the dinnerware and she said Royal Tart.”

When you order a celebration set, you get so much more than dinnerware. Tricia also includes recipes, tips and menu ideas. It’s the complete package for the busy hostess right at her fingertips. What a wonderful company, the Royal Tart store reminds me of the finer, simpler things in life like our tiny little family, our friends and always, always good food!

Thanks again to Fracture Toy and its author Mannequin!

Cheers,
Tricia

Delivering Prepackaged Parties to Your Door

If You’re an April Fool it’s Your Lucky Day. 50% off every Celebration you purchase today—April 1, 2009. This is no Joke! Enter “Aprilfool” at checkout.

Royal Tart is the premier provider of prepackaged celebrations for discerning adults and families. A Royal Tart includes everything a host requires to celebrate in royal style including invitations, decorations, ceramic dishes, cloth table linens, suggested menu, recipes & celebration tips, party favors, and some prepackaged specialty foods.

Royal Tart offers celebration variety in premier, royal style. No matter if your party is a sumptuous feast, bridal shower, or a first birthday we have sourced multiple vendors, suppliers, and manufacturers, as well as created handmade finishing touches such as celebration banners, favors, and some invitations ourselves. These handmade products take countless hours to design and create. We know these specialty items will bring the personalized celebratory feel people embrace when hosting a celebration or special occasion.

Royal Tart designs the Celebration. The host goes online to www.royaltart.com, selects a party from a variety of offerings and then purchases the Party. Royal Tart ships the selected party to the host’s door. The host uses the party and keeps the party incorporating the Celebration elements into their entertaining wardrobe for future parties or for everyday use.

In other words: Pick the party. Buy the party. Receive the party at your door. Keep the party!

Royal Tart’s goal is to bring value along with style. We create a premier, boutique celebration for the price of a new outfit and pair of shoes, about $300 to $500 for a party of eight—after all, we all deserve an entertaining wardrobe as great as our personal wardrobe.

Fine print: A La Carte items not available for discount unless purchased in conjunction with Royal Tart Celebration. One day only on any Royal Tart Celebration for 8 or for 12 or for any Royal Tart Celebration, I want it ALL for 8 or 12. Shipping charges apply.

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.

Hi All,

Just wanted to share another great product review Royal Tart received for one of our new Celebrations. Royal Tart garnered the review from Steals and Deals Blog.

Steals and Deals reviewed Royal Tart’s latest Celebration…Flutterby Birthday Tea. Royal Tart designed this Celebration with the tween girl in mind but it is perfect for a little girl or an adult girl.

We love the versatility of the butterflies… we used them on straws, on cupcakes, on cakes, as napkin holders and as additions to centerpieces. And I just love the butterfly party favor baskets–darling. But I digress this blog is supposed to be about thanking Steals and Deals–so thanks so much ladies you really understand Royal Tart’s mission.

Thanks so much!

Tricia

Here at Royal Tart we knew we had good taste but it was confirmed this month by InStyle Magazine. In the November 2008 InStyle the Roost etched Champagne glasses we sell with the Groove Dinner Party, New Years Eve Celebration and in the “Things We Love” section were photographed for a Thanksgiving article featuring Katie Joel, cookbook author and wife of Billy Joel. The Champagne glasses look great. Perfect for any holiday gathering: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve or simply as a pretty addition to your entertaining wardrobe. You can check out the image and purchase the glasses in Royal Tart’s “As Seen In” section or with a Royal Tart Celebration.

Katie offers a great Ginger Royale drink recipe, “Top 1 oz ginger-flavored liqueur with Champagne and garnish with white currants.” Check it out on p.335 of the November 2008 InStyle Magazine.

Cheers!
