Hi all. Today I'd like to share with you my daughter's 6th birthday party.
The theme I chose was "It's My Party" with a modern princess twist.
I designed all the printables, made all the food, did the decorations, coordinated the games and activities and took the photos. Yes, I am crazy!
It was a big, big effort, but my daughter, Lily, was very appreciative and had a great time – which made it all worthwhile.
Printables will be available in my Etsy store, Sweet Scarlet Designs soon. Just buy, download, print and created yourself. Print That Party!

| "It's My Party" Themed Dessert Table |
 |
| The jelly (Jello) cups were a hit. They are easy, economical and they add great colour to the table. |
 |
| The food had pink theme as well and I made sure I healthy options as well. I also had a separate "Parents Table" with adult versions of the food and tea and coffee. I had to have a large table and lots for food as I was catering for 16 party guests and their parents. |
 |
| This is the vision I had for the theme. I wanted my daughter to wear a custom-designed t-shirt that said "It's My Party". The modern princess look came from the crown design. The t-shirt transfer printable will be available in my Etsy store soon. |
 |
| The cake! I kept the design quite minimal as I knew I would be short on time. It's a two-tier butter cake with raspberry buttercream filling. The bottom tier is covered with royal icing and the top tier with fondant. The crown is made from gumpaste and painted with edible metallic paint. |
 |
| Invitations, party dots, cupcake toppers, food and drink labels, bunting, thank you dots, t-shirt transfer and more will be available as DIY printables in my Etsy store soon. Just buy, download, print and create. Easy. |

| Our face painter and fairy extraordinaire, Miss Abigail, did a fantastic job. All 16 guests had a custom face paint design and they loved it! |

Beautiful!!! It was my little one's 5th b-day a few days ago. I had her party at a place called Pump it Up cause I knew I just couldn't handle a party at my home since my hubby just had eye surgery. Now I have to start work on a mommy and me tea for the 8-11 year old girls at church. I think I might do something in pink and brown - one of my favorite color combos.
ReplyDeleteI love the texture on the buttercream layer of the cake. Very simple and elegant.

wow what a huge effort! Its amazing you did it all yourself. The whole table is beautiful, I really love the cake. I'm sure your daughter would have been over the moon.
ReplyDelete@Clair: Thanks so much. I've had a Pump It Up Party too! Pink and Brown is a great colour combo ... Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Buttercream comes to mind. Good luck with your event :)
ReplyDelete@Butterhearts: Thanks so much for your lovely comments. My daughter did love it - her friends' did too, she was very happy which made it all worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteHi Elsie –

Wow! You did an awesome job and I love anything pink and I will never get to use girly theme cause i have a little boy. Where did you get the jello cups?
ReplyDeleteNan
Thanks Nan!
ReplyDeleteThe Jello cups are disposable wine goblets - just the supermarket variety.
But any plastic cup will do.
Hope this helps.
