I was so excited when D decided she wanted a rainbow party this year- it was so fun! We looked at some party ideas online, but this cake sealed the deal for her. Unfortunately my version of the cake was a bit of a disaster, but everything else came out pretty well.
Cake table (with sad, sad cake): fabric is from Wal-mart and rainbow stripe party hats (and rainbow candles not pictured) from Target...
Table scape: D LOVES to draw, color, and create all day long so this table was a no-brainer. Simple butcher paper with crayons in votives for the birthday girl and guests to design their own table cloth...
Decor: crepe paper streamer rainbow...
...rainbow balloons...
... rainbow paint chip garlands inspired by these at Kojo Designs (although I ended up making mine differently- maybe I'll write up a tutorial soon?) ...
Food: Rainbow fruit and veggie tray...
...jello cups inspired from this post at Glorious Treats...
... and disaster cake. D was thrilled with how it turned out and guests thought it tasted good, so I'm really trying to get over it and count it as a success...
Party attire: Rainbow dress I made for D that she has yet to wear. She opted for her very favorite Hello Kitty rainbow shirt instead. Hopefully I can talk her into wearing this dress soon- before she grows out of it!
you are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! My daughter wants a rainbow party and I am terrified that I will fail with the cake. Your looks good, I would be proud of the cake if I were you. The colors came out perfect. I looked at lots of pictures and the cakes that look perfect have a lot more frosting, they level the cake with it. That is my backseat driver opinion. Love your party!
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely rainbow themed birthday bash it was! I just adore this colorful theme. You know dear my daughter also likes colorful parties. In last year I also hosted a rainbow birthday party for him at best party Venues in San Francisco.
