Party Recap...

We did a spin on the traditional April Showers and added some rainbows. We didn't use primary colors, however. We had a RAINBOW dessert table and a RAIN comfort food table. The kids did fun umbrella paper and rainbow scratch paper crafts. It was a great time!

Party Highlights

Best Moment

When my daughter came down and saw it ALL set up. She was SO excited!!

Funniest Moment

Opening presents with little kids is hard work! It was so cute to see them all want to help my daughter!

Best Dressed

My birthday girl, of course!!

What People Ate

Comfort foods... Chili, Baked Potato Bar, Grilled Cheese Sami's & Mini Mac-n-Cheese

What People Drank

Water & soda with colored ice cubes!

Dessert

Rainbow dessert buffet: Rainbow cake, confetti cupcakes, rice krispies, fruit kabobs, rainbow jello, candy & cookies

Activities / Games

The kids were all 3 and under, so they did a simple craft with an umbrella pic. They could glue on fruit loops, candies, etc. And we had rainbow scratch paper for drawings, too.

Budget

I tend to not give myself a budget for my daughters' parties. I make most things, but for the stuff I do not make myself, I'd say I spent around $300 total.

Party Favors

Rainbow theme bags for the kiddos- Star sunglasses, playdoh, pencil, spikey ball, bubbles, candies and more!
