Rainbow Party Ideas

Birthday Party Season is in full swing around here!

My kids usually opt for a "character" theme, which is fun, and easy.  But one day I hope to plan parties that aren't based on a Disney Princess or Sesame Street character.  I know, I'll miss it one day...but I'm just sayin'

There are so many other fun and fabulous birthday party ideas out there and I can't wait to take a crack at one of them one day!

So today I wanted to show off a few fun and fabulous ideas that I think would make a great Rainbow Party!

Sunshine 1st Birthday Party

Lindi Haws is quite clever. She created this sweet yellow and cream "sunshine" themed first year birthday party for her little girl Ella. She even had a playlist of sunshine songs. Lindi describes the party,



"COLORS: an array of yellows and cream



SETTING: my backyard patio



DECORATIONS: guests were welcomed with a "come around back" sign, my rustic fence was surrounded with yellow bunting (made from vintage sheets), around the yard large dowels were painted and draped with fabric and "Ellason is 1" signs, glass jars were hung from the trees filled with yellow daisies and lemon drops, flowers were stapled to the fence to serve as table backdrop and sun garland hung from the fence as well!



I designed all the printable party materials (http://www.etsy.com/shop/lovetheday)"

 FAVORS: ribbon, sunshine wands with a "thanks for shining with us" label

homemade lollipops: Amy Sweet Dream, http://www.etsy.com/shop/AmysSweetDream

panna cotta: City Sweets, http://citisweets.blogspot.com/

banana pudding: City Sweets

mini cheesecakes: City Sweets

chocolate truffles: City Sweets

sugar cookies/fondant toppers: Jane Miller

cupcakes: Georgetown Cupcakes

lemonade/cucumber water
