Games
Taking two television classics, I gave them a parenting twist…
Guests split into teams of 5-7 people to play Family Fued. They guess the top answers to surveys like “Name something you always find at the bottom of a diaper bag.”
Access the game simulation complete with sound effects, theme music, and interactive options. Complete with questions and answers. Available in Microsoft Powerpoint.

Guests put their budgeting skills to the test, guessing the actual retail price of essential baby items for a Price is Right themed game. Winner is closest to the total price.
An updated 2026 price sheet with baby products available at Walmart. Included is adjusted price for inflation for year of mom’s birth.
Activity Stations
For guests looking for a quieter moment to connect, we set up two beautifully signed stations using our printable templates.
We placed a beautiful keepsake Bible on a designated table with highlighters. Guests were invited to flip through and highlight their favorite verses, leaving their name and notes of wisdom in the margins for the family to read for years to come.
The Time Capsule: A station dedicated to the future. Guests wrote heartfelt letters, predictions, and advice to the baby girl, sealing them away in a time capsule meant to be opened on her 18th birthday.
Party Favors
Thanks for POPPIN’ by!
As the afternoon wound down, we made sure no one left empty-handed. Guests grabbed their party favors on the way out: a pink & perfect box of chocolate covered popcorn with a custom SAVSEED stickers.

Get ready to step into a world of aristocratic drama, hidden motives, and dangerous secrets — your mystery begins now…
As a grand and dramatic person, I had to do something grand and dramatic for my pregnancy reveal and that is how I came up with this murder mystery party. Everything is created from scratch, and I customized it specifically to fit my friends and my situation. That being said, this script can be used for any sort of outcome with a bit of tweaking on the “Solution Sheet”.
It was SO fun, everyone is STILL talking about it, and I got messages from all my friend’s parents, significant others, and anyone else I told passing by on the street that this was the coolest, most unique, and fun idea they had heard in a long time. Everyone involved said it was in their top 3 most fun nights they have ever had. I think using it as a reveal was the icing on the cake so if you can time it to do your share some special news, I would. This could be a pregnancy reveal, marriage proposal, gender reveal, elopement reveal, anniversary surprise, retirement farewell, new business launch, family reunion… the options are endless and I love any reason to gather and celebrate!
The only costs were for printing and I bought pizza that night for everyone. I used all the décor, costumes, props, etc.. that I had on hand. This was the cheapest event I have ever thrown and according to all my friends, the BEST event I have ever thrown. The effort put forth was the most consuming, but I have done all the hard work for you by creating a one-of-a-kind story and script. All you have to do is print and play!

My guests got the VIP treatment with this interactive decoration and our wedding reception turned into a blockbuster premiere.
These custom-designed movie posters feature the bride, groom, and wedding party as the stars of their favorite films, making for a truly unique and personal wedding decoration.
By personalizing this decoration, our family and friends were included on our big day. A wedding is just a day of celebration, a marriage is what should take the most planning and preparation. Community is detrimental in building a foundation for marriage and these inclusive ornaments were a fun way to display those who love and support us.
Equal parts hilarious, sentimental, and totally unique. From classic rom-coms to comedies to high-stakes action flicks, these “starring roles” are the ultimate conversation starter for the big day.
Use them as a grand entrance display, table numbers, or even a fun photo booth backdrop.
It’s the perfect DIY wedding project for couples who love film and want to give their guests something to talk about!

2025 has been OH SO sweet… I needed to shake things up with a SOUR twist! This table scape was by far the cheapest I have ever spent on decor. You will find all you need in your fridge!
Citrus fruits; navel oranges, lemons, tangerines, and grapefruit – cut, stacked, and playfully arranged.
Asymmetrical decorations with some innovative and inventive mechanics; orange poppies and tangerine ranunculus florals propped up and spread about for a vibrant touch.
For the base, I had this light pink fabric for the table runner hiding in my closet. Then, I added some light pink candles that provided the perfect contrast but still was on team with the warm colors.
The best part is that you could do this with other fruit like apples, pomegranates, limes, grapes, and more! Ditch the patterns and embrace this fun, fresh, fruity idea. (And it made the room smell sooooo good.)
You could make your fruit or veggie centerpiece on theme with the meal you are serving; I chose citrus because my family was serving a start-of-summer breakfast/brunch.
That glorious weekend ritual where good food, great company, and even better drinks flow freely. It appeared to cost a fortune and required a 10-person team of mixologists. The truth? It was ridiculously easy and budget-friendly, all thanks to one simple secret: fruit-infused ice cubes!
Seriously, forget expensive syrups and complicated recipes. With just a little bit of prep, you can elevate your brunch beverage game from basic to breathtaking. The key is harnessing the natural beauty and flavor of fresh fruit (and even some herbs and veggies!)
The Magic of Infusion
The concept is so simple, it’s almost criminal how impressive the results are. I raided the my fridge for fruits in all shapes and colors: vibrant berries, juicy citrus, sweet melons. Then, I chopped them up and nestled them into ice cube molds. That’s it!
The beauty of these isn’t just their stunning visual appeal. As the ice melts, it gently infuses your drink with a burst of natural flavor. This means you can keep your base simple – juice, sparkling water, or even still water – and let the ice do the talking.
My Favorite Winning Combinations:
Imagine adding raspberry and chamomile ice to a gin and tonic, or lime and cucumber cubes to a refreshing vodka soda. The infused water enhances the existing flavors without overpowering them. Plus, they look incredibly chic!
Through a little delicious trial and error, I discovered some absolute knockout combinations:
Raspberry & Chamomile Flowers: The sweet tartness of the raspberries pairs beautifully with the delicate floral notes of chamomile. So elegant!
Lime & Cucumber: Incredibly refreshing and perfect for a light and bright brunch vibe.
Orange Slices, Blueberries & Mint: A classic combination that’s both zesty and subtly sweet, with a hint of coolness from the mint.
Prep Once, Impress All Brunch Long:
The best part? You can make a big batch of these infused ice cubes ahead of time. They store beautifully in the freezer, ready to add a touch of magic to any brunch gathering.
So next time you’re hosting, skip the expensive mixers and complicated cocktail recipes. Embrace the simple elegance of fruit-infused ice. Your guests will be wowed by the vibrant colors and delicious flavors, and you’ll be the savvy host who pulled it all off without breaking a sweat (or the bank!)
The Gift That Keeps on Giving: 12 Months of Customizable Date Adventures! This is the gift of EXPERIENCES – unlike the slippers you got your mom that just…
Sometimes, the most memorable dates are the least elaborate. I surprised my sugar with this simple, no prep, special night in.
To set the scene, I covered my table with brown butcher paper… AND THAT’S IT! The creativity flowed from there.
With two sharpies, I drew tic tac toe boards, hangman, even a little battleship grid; all those games we played as kids but had long since forgotten. We played throughout dinner and since we are both so competitive, this was such a hoot and holler. We even brought up some other games like Scribble, Pictionary, and more. It kept us entertained throughout dinner and past dessert.
For a personal touch, I made my own Madlib, another one of those gems from childhood. I read off what type of word to fill in the blank space and then read the story to him at the end. This brought out lots of giggles. Letting loose was exactly what we needed for a relaxed joyful evening.
Since the entertainment was the focal point, I just threw some burgers on the grill. After assembling the buns, onions, lettuce, cheese, etc.. I cut them into heart shapes with the time I had saved with this low prep idea. I had some spread and washed up some fruit. Dessert was pzookies (warm chocolate chip cookies topped with vanilla ice cream) and it was the perfect ending to a relaxing, romantic night.
Moral of the story: you can create a fun and intimate atmosphere without spending a fortune or wasting hours in the kitchen. The beauty of this date night is its simplicity. It’s easy to execute, but the thoughtful details make it that much more special and intentional.

Themes for engagement parties are totally trending right now. A theme I have seen ideas for but has not been executed (well) is “Fresh off the Market”.
And if there are two things I know how to do it’s, 1) throw a damn good party and 2) find love in a farmer’s market.
I don’t know why I “wasted” this theme on Sarah Sprout, because as one of my friends pointed out, me and my future husband ACTUALLY met at a Farmers Market but I guess it is just upping the ante for what theme she will come up for my engagement rager.
Anyhow, I wouldn’t have done anything different because she absolutely LOVED it and it was perfect and adorable and so fun and everyone got to dress up so cute!!
Thanks to my prep work and the “dirt” cheap decorations, you too can properly execute this budget-friendly, memorable, and rustically elegant celebration for yourself or a loved one. I have created a full, ready to use package including sign templates, a list of decorations and budget, guest gifts, and a checklist where all you have to do is check the box!
I have perfected the recipe for this experience and done the heavy lifting so you can focus on what truly matters: creating an authentic, engaging event and content that reflects your unique voice and experience. Imagine having the time and energy to actually enjoy the experiences you are sharing! Sav Seed is your secret ingredient.
Some of the finer details that made this the most perfect surprise engagement party for the new fiancés to come back to and celebrate…
Bloom Bar Bouquets: Guests create their own floral arrangements from this charming addition of flowers, vases, ribbons, and wrapping to take a piece of the party home with them. A low maintenance activity that guests line up for.

Customized Film Camera Covers: 35mm Disposable Fuji Film Camera coverings with a place to customize names and doodles.
Fruity Signs: Watercolor style invitations to match the signage. Available text editing to fill in Who, What, When, Where, Why, dress code, and RSVP.
Floral Charm: A garden medley of flower decor placed around the house to bring the freshness and pop of color. Tips for flower care to get long lasting freshness and the most bang for your buck.
Adorably Themed Invitations: He/She/They are Fresh off the Market template is Ready to Print and available for editing!
Breakfast/Brunch Spread: The cheapest luxury option to feed a large group of people and the charcuterie sample spread as the on-theme coup de grace.
Celebratory Champagne Bar: A good story never started with water! Some cocktail and mocktail creations that are easy to make, will be in budget, and fun for everyone!
Bible Verses: As this couple works toward a Godly marriage, I showed my support thought this personal touch. Some verses about marriage were picked out and placed around the party.
Made with Love Party Favors: Who doesn’t love a little take-home keepsake that will ACTUALLY get used? The little jam jars are the perfect size for a personal breakfast serving of toast or yogurt or just raw if you are a crazy mama jamma (me). If they are not available at your local grocery store, these mini Bonne Maman jars can be bought in bulk online. A family favorite is the raspberry preserve so I got extra from World Market. There were a few different tags on each of them made of brown paper. I give you templates to print for yourself with the option to customize.
You can have access to this treasure trove of replicable, customizable ideas and templates for the perfect event. The versatility of this theme; it doesn’t stop at engagement party. It can be a bridal shower, a reception, a baby on the way (“A Little Sprout on the Way!”, “Growing our Family”, “Ready to Pick; Our little bud!” I can keep going… )

A little extra look into how we made it happen…
Here is the run down of the day’s events…
He proposed at the Dry Lake Beds, photos from their engagement here. We had crafted a plan to get her out there on the dirt bike and hide in helmets, goggles, and masks in the razor until we saw him pull over. He stopped because he “had something in his boot” (genius on-the-spot thinking). That’s when he pulled out a mini bible and the ring, and we sped up behind her to get footage of the special moment.
I was shaking so bad I could hardly keep steady but I will die for the shot so I bucked up, gave myself a sharp slap, and captured these perfect moments. Photozbysav, Book today.
We cracked some champagne and celebrated for a moment. But unbeknownst to Sarah, all her friends, family, and future family were waiting back at the house to celebrate with her too. We made up a lie and left early, pedal down to beat them back.
I downloaded the best of the photos on the bumpy, wind harassed ride back and sent them over for them to play as a slideshow on the big TV screen at their house. (This was in between the razor whiplash and mouthfuls of dirt and bugs… Hold your photographers accountable people, it’s not that hard to send some sneak peeks).
When she walked through the door, she was immersed in the Farmers Market experience I had set up: flowers everywhere, a variety of fruit and veggies, bright outfits, giant and colorful signs proclaiming why were all there – to PARTY with the newly engaged couple!!
The rest of the day was spent toasting, socializing, looking at the popped-the-question pics, munching on brunch, making personal bouquets from the bloom bar, and celebrating!
And of course, when you get engaged, a wedding is to follow. They decided this wedding would take place the month after this, so as her designated wedding planner/maid of honor/videographer/photographer/best friend, I am on crunch time. More on this to come…
