We had set up lots of areas in the garden so when they arrived they had their photo taken with Daisy in the photo booth before decorating a frame. It was then on to bracelet making with Aunty Jo and nail painting by Cala. The sun had finally come out so the girls stopped for a drink before we played some old fashioned games, what is a party without 'pin the bow on... so as it was a pink hello kitty theme we had 'Pin the bow on Kitty', Aunty Angela needed help to judge as it was so close and it was decided that Flo had won.
We then played Pass the Parcel and after much excitement Libby G won. It was then straight into Bingo, it was the first time alot of the girls had played this game but within minutes they were shouting Bingo for a line of 4 pink items. I had made the bingo cards but unfortunately didnt managed to get a photo!
Musical statues was the next game, there was two prizes up for grabs 'Best overall dancer' and 'Winner', Grandad judged it and when the music played the girls danced and boy did we see some moves and then when the music stopped they had to stand very still like a Hello Kitty Cat! Those that moved were out, it was such a close call Grandad declared the birthday girl and Katy the winner.
The little ladies were then ready for some lunch so it was a conga into the lounge for party tea. Although the decor was pink it was low key, I made half tissue pom poms for name places which looked cool which were set on bright pink squared plates which were laid on a pale pink table cloth, the chairs were coverd in white linen and we had a centre piece of one very very very large pale pink balloon. I had also set up a sweet buffet with items that Daisy had picked.
After tea, they all stood very nicely and queued for the sweet buffet and filled their bags, they then enjoyed chilling out and eating their sweets. It was so nice to see them altogether. Whilst they were doing this Angela and Rachel were doing a fab job of printing out the photo booth photos and putting them in the frames they had decorated. These were then included in their Hello Kitty favour bags.
Daisy said it was the best party ever, lots of her friends said it was the best party they had been too and the mums were saying how great it all looked - so very pleased that I had pulled it off! I had hoped to have done some more decor but ran out of time!! Where does that time go?
I cannot take all the credit, some thank you's are due:
- To my biz partner Jo for designing the invites and name place cards, taking photos and helping to tidy up
- To our lovely Cala Wala Woo Woo for helping to entertain the girls with nail painting and just generally helping
- To my great sister and Daisy's Aunty Jo for teaching the girls to make bracelets and entertaining them throughout!
- To my best friend Angela for doing anything and everything to help run the party smoothly
- To Rachel for helping to work out the photo printer and use of her camera to take the pics!
After Daisy's guests had left, it was time for a family BBQ.
