Over the rainbow

Bea has known virtually for the last year that she wanted a rainbow birthday party and we were happy to oblige!  There is a big trend for rainbow themed parties at the moment so I was able to find plenty of inspiration for my pinterest board!




This was the invite and we used the rainbow design elsewhere in the party too.




I made a balloon garland using this tutorial which looked great over the arch in our garden.




Bea wore a fantastic rainbow tutu from Strawberry Annies.  Here she is attempting to bash the pinata.  When asked what the best bit of her party is she says the hitting - I can assure you she is talking about the pinata!




Another game we played was stick the pot of gold on the end of the rainbow using the rainbow from the invitations.




I had lots of fun doing the party bags.  I used these striped paper bags





And filled with lots of rainbow themed goodies!




I can't take credit for the cake - my sister made it - right before flying to Singapore.




The striped layers inside got a few 'oohs' when the cake was cut.




The whole dessert table was rainbow themed - there were rainbow jellies, cupcakes, fruit kebabs, oreo pops and chocolate dipped marshmallows.  All inspired by the pins on my rainbow party board.

It might have been nice to have a real rainbow on the day but I was happy to settle for the last hot day of the summer!

Still here!


Just adjusting to life as a mother of two!  And these particlular two certainly keep me busy, don't let this sleepy little face fool you!  I'll be back next week with details of Bea's rainbow themed birthday party!
