Tips for Getting Your Party Featured
Take Beautiful Photos
Photo quality is a must! Make sure you have enough lighting (sunlight is awesome for this!!) so your party photos aren’t too dark.
You do NOT have to have a super nice camera to take great party photos. Smart phone photos are pretty awesome if you do them right, so don’t let a lack of camera keep you from submitting YOUR party!
Make sure your photos are in focus. Blurry pictures are not going to best showcase your talent!
Pro Tip: Vary your distance and point of view when taking photos. Sometimes you might photograph a cupcake and then move a little lower and rephotograph it and discover that is looks WAAAAY better from that angle.
Also, take lots of different photos of your party food and activities and decorations. Include as many cool elements of your party as you can.
Include Interesting Information about your party
When you send in your photos…include all those adorable tidbits that made your party AH-MAZ-ING.
Did your one-year-old shove the whole smash cake in her mouth at once?
Did your husband cry when the balloons came out pink at your gender reveal party?
These special moments made your party unique. Let’s include them with your gorgeous party!
Choose a unique theme
Unique themes are the best. If you have a crazy cool party idea no one else has done before…we want to see that. Like throwing a Sprinkle themed Sprinkle! It’s clever and not your typical baby shower theme.
Popular themes are also amazing too, especially if you included some special details in your party. For example, for this princess party, each food item is linked to a specific Disney princess. While princess parties are popular themes you see everywhere, these treats were creative and unique.
Have creative ideas in your party
Spend some time thinking about clever ways to decorate or bake for your party. Our readers LOVE party ideas that can be done with ordinary resources and a limited budget. Ideas like making cacti out of balloons are genius and special.

- Include a brief description of the party (your words will be used in the feature) that includes any highlights or unique aspects of the event. We also love hearing how you picked your party theme!
- Include a list of all vendors with links (including bakeries, printable designers, photographer, etc.) We really want to give credit where it is due, so please let us give a shout out to the talented folks who helped with your event
How we select parties to feature:
- Preference for features will be given to parties that have high quality, beautiful photography.
- To have the best chance of being selected for a feature, please make sure your photos are at least 600 pixels wide.
- Submissions do not need to be exclusive. I don’t mind if you’ve posted your photos on your own website, facebook, other party sites, etc. I love getting GREAT ideas in front of my audience, regardless of where they also can be seen!
- Submitting photos gives Mimi’s Dollhouse permission to post photos and party details on our site and use in internet and print promotion including but not limited to social media postings. This means we will share them on social media like Pinterest or Instagram and include your ideas in some of our “best of” posts too!
While we would love to feature every party submission we receive, it is not always possible. Please know that not being featured is not a reflection on the party or an indication that we did not like it.
It may just be the wrong season, we may have featured several similar parties or the editorial calendar may just be full.
All submissions chosen for feature will be notified within 5 business days.
We are very excited to showcase your beautiful work. Please email Holly with any questions. Tutorial and recipe submissions are also welcome:)
Why Party Features Matter More Than You Think
Getting your party featured is about more than seeing pretty pictures online. It’s about sharing creativity, inspiring others, and showing what’s possible when love and effort go into a celebration. Many readers visit party blogs because they are looking for real ideas from real people. They want to see parties that feel achievable, meaningful, and joyful, not just perfectly staged events.
When you share your party, you help other parents, hosts, and creatives feel confident trying something new. Your color choices, food setup, activity ideas, or handmade details might be exactly what someone else needs to spark their own creativity. Even small ideas can make a big difference when someone is planning a celebration on a budget or with limited time.
Featuring audience parties also builds community. It reminds everyone that great parties aren’t only created by professionals. They are created by people who care deeply about celebrating milestones and making memories. Your party tells a story, and that story deserves to be seen.
What Makes a Party Feature-Ready (Even If It’s Simple)
Many people hesitate to submit their party because they think it isn’t “big enough” or “fancy enough.” That couldn’t be further from the truth. Some of the most loved features are parties that feel approachable and heartfelt. A feature-worthy party doesn’t need expensive rentals or elaborate installations.
What matters most is intention. Did you choose a theme with care? Did you carry that theme through food, décor, or activities? Did the party feel cohesive and joyful? These details matter far more than scale or cost.
Simple parties often resonate the most because readers can imagine themselves recreating them. If your party made guests smile, laugh, or feel special, then it already has what it takes to inspire others.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Submitting a Party
One common mistake is not sending enough photos. The more visual context provided, the easier it is to tell the story of your party. Wide shots, close-ups, food details, and activity moments all help create a complete picture.
Another mistake is leaving out the story behind the party. The emotional moments, funny mishaps, or meaningful reasons behind your theme are what make your submission memorable. These details help readers connect with your celebration on a personal level.
Lastly, don’t overthink it. Your submission doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be authentic and clear. The goal is to share inspiration, not perfection.
How Featured Parties Inspire Others to Create
Seeing real parties encourages others to try new ideas. A reader might borrow your color palette, adapt your food display, or recreate one small element for their own celebration. That ripple effect is powerful.
Party features also help normalize creativity. They show that creativity doesn’t have to be complicated or intimidating. It can be playful, imperfect, and full of personality.
Every featured party adds to a growing library of ideas that help families celebrate life’s moments with confidence and joy.
Conclusion for Featuring your party
Submitting your party for feature is an invitation to be part of something bigger than a single celebration. It’s a way to share your creativity, your effort, and your heart with a community that truly values meaningful celebrations. Whether your party was carefully planned over months or pulled together in a short time, it represents a moment worth remembering and sharing.
Every party tells a story. It might be a story of a milestone birthday, a long-awaited baby, or a simple gathering that brought people together. When that story is shared, it becomes a source of inspiration for others who are planning their own events. Your ideas may help someone feel confident choosing a theme, trying a new recipe, or decorating in a way they hadn’t considered before.
It’s also important to remember that being featured is not a measure of worth or creativity. Many wonderful parties are submitted, and editorial decisions are often based on timing, season, or content balance. Not being featured doesn’t take away from the joy or success of your celebration. Every party created with care and love is valuable, whether it appears online or lives only in family photos and memories.
For those whose parties are selected, the feature becomes a lasting keepsake. It’s something you can look back on, share with friends, and feel proud of. It captures the details you worked hard on and preserves them in a way that extends beyond the day of the event. That’s a special thing.
At its heart, this process is about celebrating creativity and connection. It’s about lifting up real people and real ideas. It’s about reminding others that they don’t need perfection to create something beautiful. They just need enthusiasm, intention, and the willingness to try.
If you’ve ever admired a party and thought, “I could never do that,” remember that someone else might be looking at your party thinking the same thing. Your ideas matter. Your creativity matters. And your celebration has the power to inspire others in ways you may never fully realize.
Thank you for being part of a community that values creativity, encouragement, and joyful celebration. Every submission is appreciated, every story is respected, and every party shared helps make the world of celebrations a little brighter.
