Selected as Party of the Day on February 17th!
The Magic is in You
ByParty Recap
We turned the house into the Colombian jungle by creating a huge entrance backdrop that led guests through a balloon tunnel with hanging vines and candles into an open space where the little guests could create their own stuffed animals while the big guests grabbed a themed signature cocktail or individual tortilla chips boats with queso and salsa and other dips to choose from. The custom cake and cookies had their own moment on the rolling acrylic bar cart. The party continued outside with a taco bar and exotic animals that were actually seen in the movie, such as a capybara, owl monkey, lemur, and leopard cat. Guests were able to hold and cuddle the animals and when our little guests became tired they could sit at the picnic tables and watch Encanto.
We focused on the motifs from the movie of the greenery, flowers, mountains, butterflies, animals, and colors. The colors were carried through the balloons that flowed throughout the party. We had props to represent mountains. We wanted to stay true to the South American jungle and not mixed up with the African jungle which is more widely represented through the food and the animals. Even the stuffed animals were on theme with alpacas and monkeys.
