i spy: cupcake topper trend?

It seems vintage cupcake toppers are the new thing. I raved about it first at this cowboy birthday party, then loved seeing it in Winter Wonderland form here, then spotted it yesterday at yet another cowboy birthday here! (Be sure to check out the cute napkin display idea at the cowboy birthday).

garlands, garlands, everywhere...

Garlands, bunting, paper chains and all sorts of festive draping seems to be popping up everywhere. Some favorites above...

From top: paper chain via hi + low; flower garland via oh joy (via the selby); diy paper bunting via poppytalk; yellow flower garland and multi bunting via oh happy day; squares on wall via emmas design blogg; denise sharp for design sponge garlands (snowman, chain, circle, folded); black and white tree garland via bloesem; paper chains everywhere at Anthropologie via black eiffel; felt garland (my absolute fave!) via black eiffel.

NOTE: My hope is to create one go-to-spot for inspirational party ideas...that is why I hunt and gather beauties from other sites...so when you think to yourself- "where oh where did I see that great ______" - you can search the Party site for those ideas.
