gumball birthday


I think it must be something in the Australian water, but everything party related that comes from there is just gorgeous! And this party from Mrs. A in the Cove is pure bliss... for all the details see the full blog post here - and whilst you are there be sure to vote for Leanne in the Circle of Mom's Top 25 Party Planners - she got my vote!




THINGS WE LOVE:
- The colour scheme - the soft pastel palette is sublime and really makes this party stand out! 
TOP TIP: Pick an unusual colour palette for a traditional theme. Usually when one thinks of gumballs you think of a whole rainbow of bright colours - but instead like Leanne mix things up a bit and go for something different. Think pink and brown for ladybirds or yellow and grey for pirates... 
- Dessert tables needn't make you nervous: less is sometimes more! Make the cake the show stopper (this one sure is!) and then have some other baked goodies like the cake pops and cookies on a stick - how genius is that! Then buy the rest but repackage nicely: candyfloss, caramel popcorn and sweets.
- Make something yourself: push a marshmallow on a stick, dip into melted chocolate and sprinkles - ta da!
- The added sparkle of the disco ball - the little ones must have loved this.
- And the final touch? The party favours were these little pink gumball machines - and we have these too.
