Big birthday parties are still a no-no these days, unfortunately. But that doesn’t stop us from making at least a birthday dessert table for our one and only princess. She picked a Rainbow Birthday Party Theme this time. I think it’s a great choice, it fits the current situation of the world right now. We are holding on to our faith and looking on the bright side of this pandemic. Hopefully, things will be better soon. It has been so long already.
The Planning
My daughter is such a girly girl, she has been dreaming for this day to have a setup like this even though knowing it’s only us in this household. We actually planned and shopped together. Even draw inspirations from Pinterest together. She’s already at the age where she enjoys and appreciates the process on how to put a party together. It was fun. She was still surprised because I set it all up in the morning while she’s in virtual school. But she was involved in baking the cookies, picking out decorations and menu choices.
Reusing items we already have
So pretty much most items in this setup are things we already have and stored for years. So my tip for you, figure out a theme first and then shop around your house before you go out shopping. It saves you a lot of time and money. Also not to mention, it lessens additional clutter. I’m all about purging stuff we don’t need and keep things that are sustainable. Less clutter, less stress.
Create a mood board
When I prepare an event or project, I always create a mood board to give me a guide on my aesthetic vision. Although sometimes it’s not exactly the same, unless if I really have to or the situation calls for it. My point is, it gives me a guide to stay on theme and also gives me an idea of the vibe of the project. A rainbow theme is not that complicated but I just want to show you an example of how to stay organized when organizing a party or event. I always create my moodboards at Canva. Super easy to use!
Always remember…
“How your life feels is just as important as how it looks.”- Anonymous
With the coming age of social media where everyone posts their highlight reels, always remember to step back and reflect on what truly matters to you. A lot of us built a life around what success and happiness should look like. It shouldn’t be that way. It’s not about how life looks, it’s about how it feels. I agree it’s so easy to get carried away living a life according to what looks good, but what use is this unless it also feels good.
Trending 2020-21 : Drive-Thru Birthday Party
Never in my life did I ever thought there’s such a thing as a Drive-Thru birthday party. Yup, like the name itself. It’s fast like a flash. People drive by your house with their banners or whatnot, beeping their car horns, then stop by real quick to greet you a happy birthday, then off they go. It’s quite emotional for me, I don’t know what to say but I’m really grateful. My daughter was so happy that day, she never thought that would happen. I didn’t mention anything to her until I start preparing the pieces of stuff outside. Happiness is an understatement. She was over the moon.
