Yesterday’s rainbow party was lots of fun. You really can’t go wrong with bright colors, can you? They just lend themselves to a festive atmosphere. It was a fun party to plan as well. The entire party came straight from a Pinterest board that I made with the birthday girl {why recreate the wheel when there have been so many great rainbow parties already?} … you’ll see my inspiration sources cited throughout this post.
The focal point of the party was a colorful snack buffet on a sideboard next to the table. I hung a garland {does it look different than the garland I shared earlier this week? I somehow forgot my garland and the birthday girl’s mom quickly sewed a new one … I told you they were simple to throw together!} and set out a variety of bright-colored snacks.
I printed some rainbow subway art and spray painted a cheap dollar frame for mounting. And I had to set out rainbow striped paper straws … I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the paper straw trend.
Rainbow fruit kebabs {inspiration} were on the menu along with orange,cheesy popcorn, rainbow goldfish, sprinkled cookies, and an assortment of rainbow candy.
I found a cute confetti-covered storebought cake and used it as the centerpiece, atop a tutu clad cake plate {inspiration}.
The girls made gumball bracelets …
… and had rainbow manicures …
… then sat down for cake and snacks. It’s always a good sign when the birthday girl looks this happy, isn’t it?
I think the birthday girl had a great time and I enjoyed hanging out with this sweet group of girls, celebrating the big double digit birthday!
I’ve started truncating my posts … please pop over to my blog to read the rest!
