My daughter was born with an independent streak. She knows what she wants in life and is not easily persuaded. In throwing her party, I had to decide between my desire for the perfect dessert table, or her birthday party dreams.
She wanted her party at the bouncy house, a fairy theme, but boys were invited, and her cake had to be from the grocery store bakery, that she had been eyeing for "her whole life."
I was up for the challenge! I decided to put my effort in the details of the party, since a dessert table would not work at this venue (or with this client).
I decided the best I could do was a flying theme for the party. So I went with all things that could fly which made the indoor inflatable playground fit right in to "my" plan.
She chose a Tinker Bell chocolate cake and also vanilla cake because she wanted to give everyone a choice.
I added the edible butterflies to contribute to our flying theme.
The party swag is my all time favorite, so I probably had a little too much fun. We decided on fairy wings for the girls and capes for the boys.
My daughter insisted that we also have goodie bags. I really wanted to get creative with these and do something unique.
We found a great fairy project on Pinterest (with the help of my fellow Pinterest addicts). I made chocolate fairy lollies and added some stickers, Tinker Bell for the girls and superhero for the boys. We were very happy with the final product.
The party was a blast and mom and daughter were very happy with the entire event! It did not have that pulled together feel that I strive for when planning a dessert table, but my daughter was beaming the whole time. That is the best feedback I can ask for.
