Selected as Party of the Day on January 29th!
Fairytale 40th Birthday
ByParty Recap
My mum & I were asked to plan fairytale themed party to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday.
The birthday girl requested a fun but lovely, family friendly, evening supper party.
The colours were blues, silver and white with a bit of sparkle - we took our inspiration and 'feel' of the party from the custom made invitations by Cake Ink and threw it some fun with a 'fairytale hunt game' where guest had to find 20 fairytale themed items hidden around the party.
The candy buffet was a huge hit and the handmade and painted castle doorway for the guest to arrive through was loved by all.
Fairy lights galore and handmade bunting decorated the party with a whimsical and romantic feel.
A pop up cardboard castle for the kids to decorate with supplied stickers and coloured pens added to the nights events.
