Meet Corrina
Shwmae! I’m Corrina. I’ve always been the organiser in my friendship group. The one planning the birthdays, bringing the quiz questions, creating the printables, or finding an excuse to turn an ordinary get together into something a little more thoughtful.
Over the years I’ve planned everything from baby showers and milestone birthdays to girls’ weekends, weddings and craft days. Teacups & Glitter grew from that love of celebrating people and creating meaningful experiences.
If you’re looking for ideas, practical inspiration and celebrations that feel personal without feeling impossible to recreate, you’re in the right place.
Beyond the Blog
By day, I work in Welsh tourism, which means I spend a lot of time helping people discover places to visit, stay and explore across Wales.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me planning my next celebration, working on a blog post, tackling a craft project or heading off on an adventure with friends and family.
I’m also a long time line dancer. I’ve been boot scootin’ on and off since I was 17, so don’t be surprised if the occasional cowgirl themed party, country playlist or line dancing recommendation makes its way onto the blog.
What You’ll Find Here
You’ll find free printables, party games, playlists, recipes, DIY projects and detailed how to guides, all designed to make planning easier and more fun.
Alongside that, I share real life celebrations and plenty of inspiration inspired by the films, TV shows, music and seasons I love, from Barbie and Friends to Halloween and Christmas.
Quality Over Quantity
I don’t post every week, and that’s intentional.
Most of my posts take time to put together because I like to include the details people actually need. The games, the printables, the playlists, the supplier recommendations, the lessons learned and the things I would genuinely recommend.
I’d rather publish one really useful post than rush out five average ones.
“If I Were a Party Theme…”
I’d be a pastel brunch with plenty of pink, handwritten place names,
cute cupcakes, a few thoughtful personalised touches
and a playlist full of 90s throwbacks.
