Birthday Party

It was pouring here on Friday… and the pool party had to be cancelled. We didn’t have a second plan ready… and didn’t have the time to plan!! We had loads of décor ideas planned for the garden / pool party… but we had to move indoors. So we put up half the decorations almost randomly… Here are a few pics of the flip flop themed party… Lets start with a flip flop balloon….
A few banners..
The kids arrived and we were still putting up the rest of the décor…


Another special birthday banner...
Napkins ... all ready for a meal...
What do you think of the cake...

A closer look...

the muffins... with flip flops on them...
a closer look....
the pinata....
the kids got to take these little tote bags home... and I sure hope they will reuse the bags...
Thank you to my army of elves... without them, the party would not have been possible... We were running out of time.. and hence forgot to click pictures of other hanging decor .... There were some pretty lanters... and other stuff... I've saved the decor for next time...
At the end.... we were exhausted... but the kids had a great time.... Hope you enjoyed seeing the photographs... as much as we enjoyed preparing for the party...

  2. Heavens Pat! You truly are a talented woman! ...and the baker actually played along, and had the patience to ice flip flops on every muffin!!

    The cake looks super! The decorations are fab.

    How did you do the pinata, and the napkins? Handmade or store bought?

    Wow!

  6. @Shalini - Thank you!!

    @Sharon - The idea / design of the cake was mine... and yes!! the lady who baked the cake is awesome... She did a fab job! Specially the muffins.. were exactly what I wanted... so that worked out perfectly!! No time to make anything this time.. so pinata & napkins were all from the stores!! There were more decorations... forgot to click pics.. :-(

    @Natasha - thank you so much..

    @Ana - imagine what the garden would have looked like... but what to do!!

    @Rajee - there were so many decorations that we just could not put up... It was meant to be a garden / pool party... We only saw the indoor venue 1 hour before the party started..

  11. What an amazing lot of detail! Patricia, either you're supremely patient or the perfectionist to beat all perfectionists. Wow! I'm really blown away by all the thought you've put into your daughter's party.
    I dont know why but I had this stupid idea that it never rains in the Middle East... must be all that talk of deserts, etc. Well, now I know ;)

  12. Such a picture perfect party! I'm sure Simone would have been disappointed with rains playing spoil sport, but the decorations don't seem amiss indoors. The napkins, muffins, balloons - everything looks perfect. But the cake just takes the cake! Very well done!
