Bowling Party COOP CRATE

Posted on by the COOP

We just did this COOP CRATE for a local COOP mom who was doing a party at our local Bowling alley.  She wanted to bring a little CHIC COOP STYLE to the joint — so she asked us to do a Custom COOP Crate for her.  We love how it turned out!  We are especially proud of thecustom banner we hand made!  It turned out so so cute!  

SUPERHERO CRATE

Posted on by the COOP

WOW!  We are in full on SUPERHERO swing here at the COOP!  First we had two of our super dooper celebrity clients choose to do superhero parties COOP and CABOODLE-style… then our backyard bash (the PARTY at HOME).. and now THIS!  Another CRATE went out today… this one is a SUPERHERO themed basic crate.  The basic crate is just the goodie bags and their fabulous contents (superhero cape, laser fingers and a superhero mask)… but — they are, after all, the same super cool COOP Superhero goodie bags that Charlize Theron and Nicole Ritchie got for their special birthday boys!  We will  send YOUR superhero the same cool goodies if you go to our website and order a SUPERHERO CRATE today!

PRINCESS COOP CRATE

Posted on by the COOP

We shipped out this COOP CRATE to a lucky little lady in the Lone Star state today!  Mom ordered a COOP CLASSIC CRATE for her daughter’s PRINCESS party next weekend.  The Classic Crate includes the hand made goodie bags (with glitter crowns and pink ribbons!), a birthday banner, vintage paper straws (pink stripes, of course) and the goodies for all the party go-ers.  The party princesses will all be twirlin’ in Texas with their beautiful tutus, sequin tiaras and glitter princess star wands — all  courtesy of the COOP — and one savvy mom who knew that the BEST thing to have in your party arsenal is a COOP CRATE, so you can party like a COOP STAR no matter where you are!

CHARLIZE THERON – SUPERHERO

Posted on by the COOP

I know we have a plethora of super fabulous Superhero party pics from Lucinda’s previous post…. but I just HAD to share a few more of my favs from one I did recently.  The amazing and gorgeous Charlize Theron chose the COOP to host her little boy Jackson’s first birthday.   We did it on a Tuesday – which was his actual birthday – making it all the more special and we were really thrilled to pull out all the stops fo rthis special little guy and his wonderful mom.   I made a super amazing birthday banner JUST for Jackson out of dotted wrapping paper (cut into triangles as the flags) and comic books (the letters) — it turned out so so great!  I really love it and have used it many times since!!! Charlize was so so lovely — and I can honestly say she was one of the warmest, happiest mommies I have ever seen. She was just THRILLED with the party, and the COOP, and the special day we helped make just for her little guy. The COOP was filled  that day with lots of wonderful friends and family who all had a BLAST celebrating Jackson’s big day — superhero style!!!

THOMAS the TRAIN

Posted on by the COOP

Theses are some cute pics of a THOMAS the TRAIN COOP and CABOODLE party we did recently.  Little man Laszlo was saying goodbye to 2 with a CHOO CHOO!  Laszlo LOVES Thomas so we went with the branded Thomas goodies on the bags, lolli’s , plates and helium balloons.  I love a train party in turquoise and red — so we kept all of our basics — balloons, tablecloths, etc — in that color scheme — and accented it all with the branded goodies… so as not to overload on branded (usually kind of cheesy looking) stuff.  We stuck with our cool (unbranded) goodies for the goodie bags — Engineer hats, bandanas, wooden train whistles and train cups for all.  The COOP fun is plenty for a party — but Laszlo REALLY wanted a train too… so we brought in a trackless train for the outdoor courtyard area.  WE also had a great train conductor face painter/ balloon artist who added to the festivities.  Julie at blue cupcakes is responsible for that amaaaaazing cake and cupcake tower… and as usual she did not disappoint!  It was a wonderful party with lots of friends and fun!  Hope you enjoy the pics.

TICKLE TIME with Anne Heche

Posted on by the COOP

We did a great event a while back for Anne Heche.  She has a wonderful new sunscreen product called TICKLE TIME — and we hosted the launch at the COOP.  It was a beautiful day and everyone had a BLASDT!  Since it wasn’t a birthday party — we just went with a cool modern graphic look.  Her brand color is turquoise, so we incorporated a lot of that — and added splashes of orange and yellow in keeping with the COOP colors — to give the whole party a really cohesive look.  I made more paper flowers for the event (I have kind of been obsessed with them since I made a boatload last year for my school fundraiser) — which are beautiful and since they are COOP color — we have been able to use them over and over in the space!  I love the rubber bouncie balls in the Lollipop crates instead of the paper shred we usually use… so bright and colorful and fun.   Julie at Blue cupcakes did the cupcake tower, natch.    She never fails to impress me… love the simple colorful graphic shapes as cupcake toppers.   I just love love loved how the whole party came together – so wanted to share a few shots with you.  The sunscreen is also pretty cool if you are in the market… it’s mineral based powder.   Check it out here http://www.tickletimesunblock.com

COOP CRATE — ROBOT THEME

Posted on by the COOP

Hi guys… took some pics of a COOP CRATE we sent of to Washington state yesterday and wanted to share.  We really want people to be able to SEE what is in the COOP CRATE so we will be trying to photograph them as we send them (provided we have enough time!!!  busy busy bees here at the COOP)  Anyway — here is the first one we photographed.  The COOP CRATE comes in 3 different options —

The BASIC CRATE is decorated goodie bags and the party favors for inside the bags (for the ROBOT one above — all the kids got a Robot Arm hand grabber, a hand of laser fingers, cool robo-sunnies and a squishy robot)….

The CLASSIC COOP CRATE includes the goodie bags, party favors, balloons, a Birthday Banner and vintage striped straws, and…

The CUSTOM COOP CRATE (that’s what this one I have photographed is) includes the decorated goodie bags and party favors, balloons, birthday banner, vintage paper straws, decorative tissue balls, a BIG birthday balloon, plates (lunch and cake sized), napkins (lunch and cake/beverage sized), 2 decorated lollipop crates to display the decorated lollipops which are also included!  In all options, you tell us the theme and we do the rest!!!  Check out our website to order yours today!  https://www.thecoop-la.com/order.php

COOP CRATE – COOL NEW PACKAGING!!!

Posted on by the COOP

Lucinda & I have been researching the best way to package the COOP CRATE since we made our deal with Barbara and decided to really push this aspect of our business. Obviously an actual crate would be too bulky to store and too costly to purchase (even in bulk).  So we checked box options (all of them!). Turns out they are quite expensive and we also felt they would be difficult to store in bulk.  We were racking our brains trying to figure out a cool package when – LIGHTENING BOLT!   I had a flash of the ubiquitous IKEA bag.  I am not sure if it is quite the same where you are… but here in LA… the big blue IKEA bag is EVERYWHERE!  You buy them to put your goodies in at the Ikea register…. and then you use it over and over and over in your everyday life!  Seriously — that Ikea bag is used as a beach bag, a grocery bag, a sports bag, a “park” bag… you name it and people (moms especially) in LA are reusing that Ikea bag in every situation imaginable. So we thought… let’s do a cooler COOP version of the Ikea bag!  Our own spin in a fabulous COOP glossy Orange color — with a yellow zippered top!  Which is even better than the Ikea bag… no spills!  And for the COOP CRATE — it is great because it’s a bit more forgiving than a box.  We can stuff more stuff in it!  What do you think?   Really big, really fabulous.  And super re-useable.  After having your fabulous COOP CRATE party at home – you can use your COOP CRATE bag at the grocery store, beach and soccer game… Just another way the COOP chicks are looking out for their cool COOP mammas!!!  Book your COOP CRATE party today and get the fabulousness of a COOP party, delieverd to your front door!!!

BRONX TURNS A SUPERHERO 4!!

Posted on by the COOP

How gorgeous is the Superhero party I just did for the SUPER CUTE Bronx Wentz! Who doesn’t love the theme SUPERHERO? I had such a great time thinking of the colors and little extras I wanted to do. The COOP lobby is such a wonderful happy space and when you add any yellow the front room just glows. I used our custom made backdrops to cover the windows which with this party also acted as a PAPARAZZI blocker and I also had some cool – graphic backdrops made for the outside patio. I pretty much hand made everything on this one from the fun party favor tags to the drink cups to the chip cones. No real SUPERHERO party would be complete without some KRYPTONITE Soda so of course we had that and I used my trusty green Aussie licorice as the base.  I also found the MOST AMAZING Spiderman balloon it really was life like check it out above.  The FAB cake was from an old favorite Hansen’s and had all the mouths watering. All our little Superhero’s went home with a COOP cape, laser fingers, Batman ring, lollipop and WHAM Bat. Pete and Ashlee who are the loveliest people and parents where so thrilled with the party and told friends as they left  “same place next year”!
YOU can now get the same party from our COOP CRATE – book it now and party like a COOPER HERO!!
