It was my husband's niece's 2nd birthday on June 19th. Recently her mum and dad (my brother-in-law) had separated so there wasn't anyone really there to pay the girly attention to such events (except for my mother-in-law but she's just here on holiday at the moment). So I jumped at the idea and thought that this would be my gift to her. One I love organising events and two, great way for me to exercise my creative side.
I decided that I want a gold and pink theme for her. My budget was $100. Here is what I did:
- I made her happy birthday sign by hand by just getting some supplied from the $2 shop.
- I got some fake flowers and a pink table cover,
- I bought some pink foods (biscuits, lollies, made some fairy bread, made nutella prezels dipped in sprinkles, marshmallows),
- I presented the drinks in some gold rimmed glasses that my mother-in-law already had,
- I taped up some cute streamers at the doors,
- I bought some cute pink straw,
- Made some pink lemonade (I bought the lemonade and just added one drop of pink food colouring - then I added a lemon slice to garnish),
- I also added some cute doilies to put the food and drinks on,
- Lastly, I made her some party favours - I got some cute little glass bottles and put some gold glitter in there, this was her party fairy dust. People seemed to really like it yet it was so easy.
Overall it ended up costing me $130 but thats because I also added in there a fairy costume. Have a look at the pictures below. I hope you all like them. This all took me one day to plan, buy, put it all together and have the birthday. The only thing that really took my time was making the bunting sign.
Hope that has given you inspiration,
Sara
