Between both children, I have thrown 13 birthday parties.  That’s a lot of birthday plates, napkins, and other paper products that went into the trash, and I must admit, I never really thought about it much after that.  However, we all need to be more aware that we can make subtle changes to help sustain the planet we live on.  That’s the focus of Green Party Goods! From the website: 

“The earth is suffering as a result of the way we consume resources.  The most offending items in the tableware industry are plastic disposables. Plastics are petrochemical products, which end up in land fills where they do not degrade. (10% of the U.S. oil consumption is used to make plastics)”

The stand before you "jazz it up!"

WOW.  That’s a lot to think about.  Thankfully, Green Party Goods entrepreneur, Carole Soss launched her company in 2008 and is trying to change the way we throw a party.  Eco-friendly tableware, goody bags, and even decorations are available in nearly every color scheme and range from grown-up to child themed. I was recently able to review 2 of the Mini Cupcake Stands.

First, I noticed that they really hold a lot of cupcakes for being called “Mini.”  Secondly, they assembled in less than a minute and were definitely sturdy enough to hold 2 dozen cupcakes.  The kids loved stacking the cupcakes on the Polka Dot stand and it looks adorable all covered with the yummy cupcakes.  You could truly use this stand for other party foods besides cupcakes and it would work well.  Best of all, you can rest assured knowing that the stands are recyclable, and reusable too as they wipe clean easily!  If you are using the stand for cupcakes, check out the adorable Cupcake Edible Art! I have got to remember this the next time I need to send cupcakes to school for one of the kids because they are SO cute!

The next time you have a party to throw, consider checking out Green Party Goods first!  Each Mini Cupcake Stand can be purchased for $27.00.
