One of my earlier printable designs recently underwent a fairy-makeover for my niece’s 5th birthday party.\u00a0 The weather was just perfect for the outdoor party\u00a0which took place in their back yard last weekend.<\/p>\n

This time around we started out with our party printables which gave us the colour scheme of pink and white and a splash of purple. Much of the d\u00e9cor was determined by the activities we had planned.\u00a0 I had some old white carpet runners sitting in my storeroom waiting to be\u00a0thrown out,\u00a0but instead I decided to cut them down to\u00a0mat sizes and draw designs on them.\u00a0 I then used these to\u00a0define the areas for eating, dress up and story time.\u00a0 I wanted to keep the eating area looking clean and bright – which was achieved through the use of\u00a0white tablecloths and a white satin backdrop.\u00a0This also created a background on which the party printables could really stand out.\u00a0 A few other\u00a0items I had in my storeroom were the\u00a0two little white tables that I was able to pair with ornate pink mirrors from The Warehouse <\/a>to create child-sized dressing tables for the Dress Up station.\u00a0 The ‘Storytime Tent’ was made from a Mosquito Net that I got on special\u00a0at Briscoes<\/a> along with all the cushions I could find.<\/p>\n As part of the party printable set, we designed a lovely little handbag box.\u00a0 In each box was a mini chocolate bar, a pink balloon, a sparkly hairclip and a lip gloss.<\/p>\n Instead of games we opted for three activities.\u00a0 We had the ‘Make Your Own Wand’ craft; the Dress Up Station and Story time.\u00a0 As the guests arrived they were able to join in with making their own wand and once they were done they were free to play with the dress ups or wherever else there imagination took them.\u00a0 Towards the end of lunch we sung happy birthday and the beautiful cake was cut.\u00a0 At the same\u00a0time\u00a0Gran came out dressed up as the ‘Fairy-Grandmother’ to read all the guests\u00a0the story of ‘The Rose Princess and the Special Gift’<\/a>.\u00a0 This was then followed by the opening of the presents.<\/p>\n On the menu we had:<\/p>\n The buffet was set up using a collection of glassware, white platters\u00a0and a box that I covered in stripy paper.\u00a0 The fabulous centrepiece on the buffet was the amazing doll cake made by Sweet Bites Cakes <\/a>– a decadent chocolate mudcake – yummy!<\/p>\n It was really fun to transform\u00a0my sister’s backyard into a fairy princess’ garden.\u00a0\u00a0Everyone\u00a0seemed to enjoy themselves\u00a0having\u00a0plenty of activities do\u00a0and yummy treats to eat.<\/p>\n If you have any questions or comments regarding how we put this theme together or if you would like us to create a party for you then please contact us either via email or through the comments section below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of my earlier printable designs recently underwent a fairy-makeover for my niece’s 5th birthday party.\u00a0 The weather was just perfect for the outdoor party\u00a0which took place in their back yard last weekend.
