Knights & Dragons Birthday Party

Hello :)

We recently celebrated my son Ethan's 7th Birthday. Ethan chose a Knight theme and invited a few of his closest little friends to help him celebrate.  I always enjoy the kids parties but I have to say this was the best party ever!  Not the set up (though I was stoked with how it turned out) but it was just such a good time.  Such a beautiful group of kids and parents and the kids were all singing and laughing and had a ball, made me truly happy!

Ethan was very particular about what he wanted for his party and wanted a sit down 'feast' as close to what they would have had in medieval times and it definitely had to include a 'big chook'.   With Ethan being coeliac all of the party food was gluten free and we set up the feast table to include chicken, meatballs, bread rolls, ham, cheese, crackers, fruit, muffins & banana bread.  We used the most beautiful candelabras from The Mercedes Project to decorate the table and the kids loved using the fun jewelled drinking goblets.

As we had the feast table we opted for a simple dessert table with a few yummy sweets and the birthday cake.  Our room as decorated with various medieval props and decorations to create the look of a dining hall.

We had a whole heap of blow up swords for the kids to play with and we also played bobbing for apples which was so funny and the kids loved and then the regular pass the parcel and pinata.

We had a fantastic time celebrating Ethan's birthday and would like to say a huge thanks to all the gorgeous ladies who supplied goodies for the day!  (vendor credits below)

Hope you enjoy the photos!

Shark Birthday Party

Hello :)

Today I am excited to show you my son Declan's 5th Birthday Party photos.  Declan had initially wanted a Horse party this year but a few months ago he changed his mind.  He wasn't too sure what he wanted so we looked through some fun themed tableware and he chose Sharks as his theme, with a Beach feel though as opposed to Under the Sea. This party was so bright & fun to plan and is definitely one of my favourites so far. 

Declan started kindy this year so we had a school party and he was very excited to have all his little friends over to play.  The party was fantastic and everyone had a great time. It ended up being a very wet and stormy morning so we had to move the activities/play area inside but other than that all went off without a hitch.

I hope you enjoy the photos!  All the vendor credits can be found below :)
