Miss Piggy in Paris!

By

Since there is a Mup­pets revival recent­ly with the release of the new movie at the end of the month, I was inspired to throw a Miss Pig­gy par­ty, which seemed fit­ting to cel­e­brate my grand­moth­er’s birth­day, as both ladies are extreme­ly posh, chic and glam­orous! We also have a spe­cial place in our heart for pigs, as sev­er­al mem­bers of our fam­i­ly were born in the year of the pig accord­ing the Chi­nese cal­en­dar, which is a part of our her­itage. In the upcom­ing film, Ms. Pig­gy is work­ing as an edi­tor for French Vogue and I want­ed to incor­po­rate fash­ion, glam and Paris in the details. I’ve seen a lot of par­ties cen­tered around the clas­sic Bar­bie sil­hou­ette and I thought it would be fun to uti­lize the same con­cept. I asked Michele at Intrigue Design Stu­dio to design a sil­hou­ette of Miss Pig­gy, which I also paired with a Chanel-inspired hound­stooth pat­tern and flo­ral graph­ics from Cup­cake Cutiees. The par­ty debuted on Amy Atlas, but read on for addi­tion­al new pho­tos and more details!

I designed the invites to resem­ble mag­a­zine sub­scrip­tion inserts ~ yes, the annoy­ing ones that always fall out when you’re try­ing to read them!

Since the par­ty was tak­ing place in Miss Pig­gy’s Vogue Clos­et, I actu­al­ly set it up in my daugh­ter’s room and uti­lized her dress­er to set up the dessert table. I infused a bit of green through­out to sym­bol­ize Ker­mit the Frog, which also worked well with the light green walls. I cre­at­ed food tags to high­light the “Edi­tor’s Picks”.
The cen­ter of the dessert table includ­ed Ms. Pig­gy’s “Top Looks”, show­cas­ing out­fits and acces­sories with fon­dant on sug­ar cook­ies. In a black ornate frame, I carved Miss Pig­gy’s sil­hou­ette out of rice krispy treats and dec­o­rat­ed it with fon­dant and her pearl neck­lace with flower, match­ing the graph­ics. I also made choco­late Eif­fel Tow­er pops and lip­stick cake pops dis­played in push pops con­tain­ers from Cup­kate’s Event Design. Scat­tered through­out the table were some straw­ber­ry cup­cakes with black fon­dant decor. Last­ly, in a jew­el­ry box and nes­tled with­in pearl gum­balls and choco­late pearl can­dies were pearl and rock can­dy rings that I made (adapt­ed from a Martha Stew­art tuto­r­i­al), along with a fon­dant flower brooch.
I had acces­sories and props avail­able to take glam cov­er shots, includ­ing sun­glass­es, pearl neck­laces and flo­ral pins. I found a choco­late mold for pig­gy snouts, which were not only great to give away with the favors, but also served as addi­tion­al pho­to props! The favor bags includ­ed pig­gy bath salts, notepads and lip­stick pens, bub­ble mea­sur­ing tape and green Ker­mit lip gloss.

As you can see, we had a fab­u­lous time pos­ing for our mag­a­zine pic­tures! It was tru­ly such a fun theme that can tru­ly apply to any age! Who’s excit­ed to see the new Mup­pets movie? MOI!

Merci Beaucoup!
