Valentines Sugar Cookies

A galentines party are so much fun because they are a beautiful but laid back way to get your gal pals togetherinFebruary.

There were also chocolates on a heart plate which looked so festive.

A small 2 oz. heart box holds three to four candy cups with mini Valentines day sugar cookies. The large 1 lb. heart box holds roughly twelve to fourteen.

I got my brown paper cups on Amazon. A 200 pack was only $4 so definitely a good deal. The white candy cups were a bit more for less but either work great.

The last of the three things you are going to need are Valentines Day sugar cookies! For this DIY project, you are going to want mini cookies, not full size.

I love getting mine from my dear friend Shanan at Enchanted Cookie Boutique. They are always absolutely gorgeous AND so delicious! She ships nationwide so you can place your order and get them delivered right to your front door.

These doll box cookies were soooo fun! I love that Shanan was able to use rice paper to print out actual American Girl doll faces for an extra authentic look. She also did stars since that is kind of AGs thing. Our gal was so excited when she saw them!American girl decorated sugar cookiesI knew I had to create a Hatchy Birthday Hatchimals birthday party for my little guy who absolutely loves these furry little creatures to make his day even more amazing!

To make this Hatchimals party amazing, try to keep things along the theme. For our snacks, we decided to have our friend Shanan of Enchanted Cookie Boutique make these Hatchimal eggs and creatures.

At first when I called her to ask to make them for us, she said, Um, what is a Hatchimal. I sent her some pictures and she quickly got to it. I loved that she could make them more blue and green for boys or pink and purple for girls too!

She never disappoints so I wasnt worried one bit about how they would turn out.Shanan is truly so talented!
