Event feature: Pagoda Little Royal Ball

Today I am sharing a gorgeous event involving some of our Perth Celebrate Society members!

The Pagoda Little Royal Ball was all about bringing the magic of fairytales to life for one night only.

Ladies, Gentlemen, Boys and Girls were invited to attend this spectacular evening of dancing, singing, interactive fun and photo opportunities while dressed in their very best.

With a meet and greet with 9 characters from Glass Slipper Entertainment, a 2 course meal, drinks on arrival, goodie bags and door prizes it was a night that will be remembered forever.

All finessed with the unbelievably accurate table decorations; each with it’s own fairytale theme. Enjoy the photos!:

A bunny themed first birthday!

It is back to business for Sassy Snaps in Perth with their first kids party package since lockdown! In this blog post Carly from Sassy Snaps shares more about this gorgeous 1st birthday party setup with us:

 

“This kids package features a dessert table setting; with our new pink fabric backdrop, matching organic balloon garland (thanks to Elise from Whimsical Balloons), and acrylic signage (from Barley Boy) which we customised with stick on graphics. On the table we included some artificial arrangements, designed to suit the colour scheme, and our wood stumps to bring a bit of boho to the design.

 

Sitting on these of course is the beautifully coloured macs and cake made by Lisa at Cakes2Celebrate! The cake design was inspired by one from CakesbyAranee and with her permission was recreated for this client. Topped off with a custom designed acrylic cake topper from XOXO Design and it was the dreamiest creation for this party!

 

The kids table also features a new prop of ours – our new perspex riser perfect for adding a kids grazer on top! Client opted to create her own grazer for this occasion but we’ll soon be working in collab with some Perth grazing companies to create a custom kids and adults grazing options to suit the new platter design.

 

Place settings include a custom placemat, and boutique partyware from Favorlane Party. Matched our theme perfectly with the shades of pink and gold. We also added our custom labels with stickers and straw tags for that personal touch. The little details are always the difference between a good party and a great party design!

 

Inspiration for this party came from the recent Easter photoshoot we did (pre-covid) but we decided to make this one pink instead of blue which was what our original design was to better suit the little girl celebrating. Lots of florals used in the design, though we opted for artificial arrangements on the table to reduce costs. The overall concept was kept simple but I’ve always believe simple is best.”

Thanks for sharing Carly and well done to all the vendors involved – many of whom are Celebrate Society members! We love this bunny theme and it is just perfect for a first birthday!

Party Feature: Virtual Birthday Party Slime/Mexican Fiesta style!

Well who would have thought I would be doing a post about virtual parties and “drive-by” parties…but with our current COVID 19 situation, virtual parties and “drive-by” celebrations are THE latest way for your kids to still connect with their friends on their birthday and have fun!

Dalia from Tiny Tots Event Hire in Sydney shares the virtual SURPRISE party she organised for her daughter’s 10th birthday! Her daughter declared it one of the best ones yet even though she has had big parties almost every year since she turned one so it’s a big call!

Dalia’s daughter is obsessed with slime but like most parents – isn’t allowed to play with it at home. So Dalia organised a surprise slime making virtual party for her daughter along with a Mexican fiesta!

 

Dalia explains…

“She had chosen Mexican for dinner (our kids get to choose dinner on their birthdays) so we decided to go all out and decorate the deck Mexican fiesta style the night before! “- which Dalia could do using props she already had from her Tiny Tots Event Hire business. Dalia continues…

“The next day, she went up to do her homework (completely oblivious) Then at 12pm, we called her downstairs and opened the blinds to reveal the Slime workshop/Mexican fiesta extravaganza.

I had pre-organized with Simone Birthday Fairy to do a live zoom slime making workshop for her and her siblings! Simone was amazinggg as usual and went above and beyond!


My daughter actually said she went and checked her bed to make sure she wasn’t dreaming!! That’s how happy she was. THEN after slime making, we cut the cake (probably first homemade cake ever with her favorite Nutella and Oreos on top 🤤) complete with a cake topper by Sugarlicious Parties and some other yummy snacks!

After present opening, I had organized her a surprise “drive-by bday parade” with some friends, which was sooo cute and she absolutely loved and wasn’t expecting!

The day ended with some yummy homemade tacos and burritos to carry the theme through… and voila – there you have it. A birthday in the time of Corona!”

OTHER IDEA’S FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY DURING COVID-19

Dalia from Tiny Tots Event Hire also has some other ideas to share:

– Do a “drive by bday parade” where his/her friends/family surprise him by driving past your house at the same time with signs, banners, music, balloons, presents, lollies etc.

– Ask close friends to pre record happy birthday video messages and surprise him/her on the day. Will definitely put a big smile on their face!

– Pre organize a whole day menu with all his/her faves! Fave breakfast, snacks, lunch, dinner etc. He’s the boss that day!

– Decorate/theme an area of the house the night before and do a “reveal” when it’s time for the celebrations to begin! Think balloons, banners, posters, garlands, hired props, cut outs etc! The key is choosing a theme they love!

– Hire some toys or giant games like giant jenga, giant snakes and ladders, giant naughts and crosses, giant bowling, foosball table etc and have a family games night! These can be hired from www.toyhire.com.au (full disclosure: that’s my business 😊)

– Have a “house party” with all his/her friends on the “house party app” or Zoom

– Get a bunch of balloons delivered to the house on the actual day as a surprise! (I can recommend business who do this if you need)

– Depending on age, you can get a personalized pre recorded message from an entertainer dressed up (eg fairy, Elsa etc) or you can take it one step either by doing a live zoom party with an entertainer doing dancing, cooking party, slime party etc for your child and their siblings. (Can recommend businesses who do this if you need)

– Hire an outdoor movie screen package and have a family movie night complete with a popcorn machine! (Also available from @tinytotseventhire)

Add your own touches depending on what he/she loves doing! Hope these ideas help with some inspiration! Good luck and party on!

 

WOW – thanks Dalia! What an amazing birthday all while still being in isolation and with her daughter saying it was the best birthday ever!!

 

So as you can see, with a bit of creativity and the use of the internet, you can still have a wonderful birthday celebration that I am sure your child will never forget!
