Kids Parties: Purple Party

For my daughters 2nd birthday we had a purple party. I asked everyone (adults and kids) to wear something purple. This was the first (and only) party i have done without Julian (hubby) home. Usually i can give him jobs whilst I'm doing something. He usually takes the kids to get ice the morning of the party whilst i do last minute touches. This time i did it all myself - trust me there was a lot of lists made to keep me organised and on track.

The invite i designed and have my lovely friend create for me - Cub and Bunny. She also created the milestone poster

I chose a very simple cake design as i knew i was going to be pushed for time the night before. I did purple white choc mud cake, covered in chocolate frosting. I surrounded the edges with chocolate fingers and filled the top with purple chocolate buttons. I made the little bunting flags for the top using lollipop sticks, ribbon, fishing line & purple scrapbook paper. 

Front door sign was made from a wallpaper sample i had & left over scrapbook paper. The bunting flags were also made with scrapbook paper. I don't actually do scrap booking but i do buy the papers for crafts. 

So glad to no longer have vertical blinds

For the party favours i made purple party bags - left side shows the boys goodies and the right side is the girls.

Here is the party food - who doesn't love photos of delicious food. The only purple food was the purple jelly slice
