New Products: Personalized Korean Hanbok Girl Posters and Pillows

New Products on our Etsy Store! My daughter is now 11 years old and she is always looking for posters to decorate her room. So we decided to offer these products of the Korean hanbok girl poster for a limited time!

Rent 100th Day Hanboks and Korean First Birthday Hanboks!

 

littleseouls.com

Here is one of our customers who ended up renting the 100th day hanbok for Baek-il from us and then later renting the first birthday (Size 1) hanbok from us later for his Doljanchi. Kids outgrow their hanboks, so renting is a practical option instead of buying one! Our hanbok rental selection is always being updated and we are open to adding more - feel free to contact us if there is a specific design you are trying to locate.

Customer Photo: Traditional Dolbok Hanbok Plum/Navy

 

We love getting customer photos! If you have had an event using one of our rentals,

we would love to see a photo! 

This little prince just had a birthday and he rented out the Traditional Hanbok Plum Navy Set that comes with the royal headpiece and belt. Doesn't he look so adorable?!

Royal King Hanbok Rental for Korean 1st Birthday Party Event

I have been watching a lot of Korean historical dramas lately and one that I recently watched is "Moonlight Drawn by the Clouds." Actor Park Bo Gum stars in it and throughout the drama, he looks stunning in all of his hanbok wear! The blue one he wears reminded me of the Royal King Hanbok that we have available for rent (Size 1-2). Okay, it's just a little similar. :)

How to Save Money on Your Baby's Dol Korean First Birthday Party

Renting your baby's hanbok is a great way to save costs while planning your Korean baby's first birthday event (doljanchi). We have several options for you and have recently added more hanboks to choose from. Here is one of my favorite boy rental hanboks. It comes with the upgraded hanbok bokgun hat and good fortune and prosperity belt as shown. This is a Size 1 Hanbok.

Another saving option is instead of buying items for your doljabi event, you can rent our doljabi set!

New Website

Hello! I know it's been awhile since we blogged! Thank you for still following us! We really appreciate it! We wanted to let you know that we merged littleseouls.com and littleseoulsparty.com back together again unto one site: littleseouls.com. We hope that you will find the new website more user friendly. You no longer have to go to two sites to order!

You will notice that we have made some changes to our business - the most significant being that we now offer digital files for dol (first birthday) invites, banners and doljabi boards. Unfortunately, we no longer offer printing services anymore on these personalized party banners, invitations, and boards. Esther, who handles all the design and printing, is working reduced hours at Little Seouls, so we unfortunately had to make adjustments.  I know some of you still prefer printed products, so we do offer a limited selection of non-personalized doljabi boards and banners that we can print and ship out to you. You will find this under "party supplies."

This year will mark 8 years of us being in business! Each year has brought on different challenges and we hope you will continue to support us so that we can continue on for severals years to come.

Sincerely,

Susanna and Esther

New Doljabi Raffle Tickets!

What are doljabi raffle tickets? These tickets are given out to party guests at the beginning of a dol (tol) first birthday party. Each ticket has an unique number on it and each guest is handed one ticket. At the sign in table, the host will provide labeled doljabi item containers for the guest to predict which doljabi item your child will select during the doljabi event. For example, if the guest thinks your child will select the pencil, they will place the raffle ticket into the jar labeled "pencil." At the end of the party, when the child selects the doljabi item, the host will pick up the jar labeled with the selected doljabi item and select a raffle ticket. The guest with the winning raffle ticket usually goes home with a small prize.

New! Personalized Doljabi Poster Board

After much requests, we now have a Doljabi Board for boy and girl! Can customize with child's name and picture.

The poster board is usually placed at the front sign in table for guests to "guess" which item the child will pick during the Doljabi.

Price is $24.99 which includes the cutouts for the cups/containers. The size is 12"x18" and will come rolled up in a poster mailer. We recommend getting a frame to put this in. Makes a great keepsake!

Great Baby's First Dol Ideas!

I recently came across a blog called the Im Family. Sang, the mom, recently blogged about her son's dol and thought I'd share her great ideas with our readers. Sang is also a talented cake designer and gives private lessons in her home in Fairfax, VA.

Here is the cake she made for her son's dol. I love all the traditional touches she put on the cake!


She also hand-made her son's invitation! I love the 3D flower in the front and how it opens up into this elaborate but also very traditional card.


For party favors, she put her son's picture on round metal tin cans. Love it!


Lastly, she made the doljabi board/picture board.


Here guests get tickets to place their bet on what they think her son would pick in the doljabi. Once her son picks up an object, they'll pick a winner from the tickets. That winning ticket would then get a prize.



If you'd like to share your dol ideas, send us an email at info@littleseouls.com! You may be featured on our blog!
