6th Birthday Party...

Well, Riley and Charlotte's 6th Birthday Party has been and gone.... and we've finally recovered!!  Such a lot of effort put in by myself and the hubby for a two hour party but it was all worth it.  Here's some happy snaps of the fantastic day...

The Birthday Girls

The table set-up

(the party was a High Tea)

The Decorations hanging over the table

(I made these myself but if you're not a crafty person, you can buy them here)

The Party Food

(fruit and lolly kebabs)

(mini cupcakes)

 (sushi sandwiches)

(jelly cups)

 and of course the Teapot Cake

Here's the cookies I baked for the party bags

the contents of the party bags

and the party bags ready to go

It was such a fun day and wonderful for a change that it was all about the kids rather than keeping the adults entertained/fed all day!

Oh, and one last photo.  My gorgeous Harry who had a lovely time with all the girls!!

The Birthday Party Plan...

Well it's that time of year again.... My twin girls will be turning 6 this week and they're having a party with their school friends on the weekend.  It's pretty exciting as it's their first "real" birthday party.  What I mean is, other years it's either just been family or basically our own friends with kids their age.  But this is the first party with their "own" friends.

So, here's what the plan is so far..... the theme is a High Tea (in pink and red) and the invitations have been handed out...

As each child arrives, my Mum is going to do a bit of face painting... a cupcake on their cheek

Then we'll play a game or two... I haven't decided what yet but maybe musical statues, pass the parcel, pin the cherry on the cupcake... (any other suggestions would be great)

Next for the high tea, I'm going to set up a long table with a pink table cloth, red napkins and plates and red scatter hearts...

with red and pink Tissue Paper Pom Poms hanging over the table...

They're going to eat Sushi-style sandwiches...

Fruit Kebabs...

Mini Cupcakes with little love heart toppers...

tea cup cookies...

and the cake (at this stage anyway) is going to be a tea pot cake...

Lastly, for the party bags I've bought some Red and Pink Paper Party Bags...

I've got the Party Bag tags...

and I haven't decided exactly what to put inside yet but here's a few of my ideas...

Momiji Stickers (from Kawaii for You of course)...

a few lollies...

a cookie on a stick - love heart...

a glitter gel pen...

and a ring...

So, that's the plan.  Now we just need to see if I can pull it off!!

WARNING:  I'm doing all of this myself so don't expect the finished product to look quite as beautiful as the images above.... he he he
