Styling My Party #review

ptember and October are party season in our house. 3 of my kids have their special days within three weeks of each other. So its been busy and now its done and we are all over a nasty sickness bug its time to look back  at the celebrations. For my oldest daughter’s birthday we weren’t sure what to do. She is at that tricky age when its important to not be too ‘babyish’ in her eyes but she is still young enough to really enjoy a good party.

Whilst wondering what to do I came across Style My Party on twitter that is run by the lovely and helpful Stacey and i started to think that my little girl might enjoy having a ‘themed’ party. We hatched a plan to give her the perfect ‘ice=cream’ themed party. Which is a party pack that Stacey produces with all sort of bits and bobs to make your birthday plans go swimmingly.

When the box arrived there was much excitement! It contains all you might need. Bunting, Winners arm bands (which were really popular with the girls), games ideas, party planning ideas, shopping lists, party bags, invitations, thank you cards, cake toppers, balloons, ice cream scoops, bowls, cups..it just went on and on and we loved all the ideas it gave us as well as being able to decorate the kitchen table with all the lovely bunting and ice cream topper labels.

We particularly loved the ‘strike a pose’ game. Which i set up with my camera on a tripod and one of my strobe lights. So the girls had a little mini photo booth and it was a real hit. I was able to print out a 4 x6 of each girl and my daughter put them in a envelope with the thank you cards. A nice little memento of the party for each girl.

She had a really great afetrnoon. Her best friend (who sadly no longer is at her school) came as well as some of her other buddies and we played some crazy games, the toilet roll race, eat the doughnut and who can make a mummy out of your team mate!

It really was an easy going party. The girls had pizza when they arrived and then we saved the ice cream parlour for the middle where they could come and choose their ice cream and get all the toppings they wanted and then it was in for a movie on a projector screen we had set up in the living room. I think the favourite topping was chocolate buttons and the mini marshmallows!

The girls left the full of ice cream and with a party bag of little retro sweets and a cupcake each. My daughter proclaimed it was the best party EVER. What every worn out parent wants to hear at the end of the day. Then it was time for some serious present opening and a glass of wine!!

Happy days.
