Birthday Reunion prep
Yesterday we hosted a birthday party and Reunion for my daughter Jessica and son-in-law Nis as well as for my children’s extended family. Thankfully the weather Gods shone down on us and we had a beautiful day. It would have been pretty much impossible to put almost 40 people inside had it rained!
Whenever I put on a party I like to use a bit of creativity to make things a bit more magical. This sign out front guided the party goers way to the festivities!
Because this was a special occasion I bought some gourmet candies for the party – gourmet jelly beans, liquorice allsorts, peanut brittle, jelly bears, jaw breakers (remember those?)….oh and just for fun i bought wax lips……which did not taste at all like i remember .
A fun birthday party (with kids) would not be the same without a fishpond no? We had 9 kids ranging from 2 to 15 so the prizes were quite varied.
I made fruit infused water to quench everyone’s thirst. I enjoy making fun little signs describing what’s what! The recipe consisted of blueberries, blackberries and mint from the garden and water! Yum!
I bought a bouquet of flowers from the flower lady down the street and separated them into smaller containers to put on the tables.
The two birthday kids – my daughter Jessica and son-in-law Nis with their birthday cupcakes! There always has to be money inside Jessica’s cupcakes .
Happy Birthday Jessica and Nis! Love you both lots!
Love, Violette xo
