Decor
I have to admit, I feel I'm quite lucky in that my daughter has chosen quite a wide variety of themes that all fit well together. I'm hoping to bring all of these elements together with the decor. I'm to keep costs down I'm planning on doing a lot of the decor myself and I'm actually quite looking forward to doing. One of the things I loved about our wedding was that I made the favour boxes and filled them with personalised love heart sweets, all of which went down well with our guests.Rainbow heart bunting is something I know I can do easily, all you need is color paper, paper cutter or scissors and some string and your good to go. It's cost effective but looks incredible also! Unicorn paper lanterns are another easy do it yourself job and the results look beautiful.
Available here.
Food
Rainbow themed makes me go giddy with excitement, there is literally so much you can do food wise with this theme. Cake pops, dipped marshmallows, rainbow fruit platters are all perfect for this theme. As I do tend to have a sweet tooth and these special sweets hold memories for me, Personalised Love Hearts Birthday Party Sweets would be perfect for this theme and add a really nice touch.
For lunch, to make sure our guests are full we shall be making unicorn pizzas which they will make themselves - I can just picture them all getting messy and having tons of fun!
Party Bags
As I love a DIY party I will be making the party bags myself also. I love paper bags and there are many companies that offer printing to personalise your own party bags, however, if you have a printer and are handy with design software you can create your own personalised goodie bags for a fraction of the cost. As Darcie loves crafting I think this will have to be apart of the day too, perhaps making their own unicorn masks that they can take home.
Cake
Now, this is where my DIY skills fail me. Making a cake I can do, but decorating I can just never get right. Perhaps, I'll give it ago but I know that to be on the safe side I'll probably opt to have it done professionally.
