Abby's Rainbow Party!

We celebrated our daughter turning four with a "Rainbow/Pool Potluck Party!" Although there was rain outside, everything was bright inside! What's a Rainbow Party without a real rainbow though, right?! ;)

• Best Moment

  A party highlight was when the sun started to peek out, and a real rainbow almost emerged ;) And of course, when we presented Abby with her big cupcake rainbow!

• Most Touching Moment

  The most touching moment was watching the photo/video slideshow I created. I asked everyone to send me a birthday message video instead of bringing a birthday gift. My daughter will now always be able to remember all of her party guests, and can enjoy a personalized message from each of them!

• Best Dressed

  My neighbors who all dressed up in the 6 colors of the rainbow :)

• Desserts

  Rainbow Cupcakes & Rainbow Ice Cream

• Party Favors

  Rain"BOWS" for girls, Rain"BOW"-Ties for boys, mini bag of skittles cinched in the middle to make a "bow," Rainbow notepads, Rainbow colored Kool-Aid packets

• Activities / Games

  Pin the Cloud on the Rainbow! I used coffee filters for the "clouds."

• What People Ate

  Rainbow Food Dishes... Rainbow Bread PB&J, Rainbow Pasta Salads, Rainbow dips and chips, Rainbow Candy Buffet

• What People Drank

  Rainbow Beverages... Colors of the Rainbow: Red Hawaiian Punch, Orange Soda, Yellow Lemonade, Green Mt. Dew, Blue Hawaiian Punch, Grape Soda.

• Rainbow Stairwell

  Because I was tying in both the "Rainbow Party" theme and the "Pool Party" theme... I bought pool noodles in rainbow colors, and lined my stairwell ceiling with them. When guests walked down into the party basement, they got to walk underneath the "Birthday Rainbow!"
