THE PINK PARTY

THE PINK PARTY

It begins in April and ends around the second week in September. 6 solid months of pure “heck”. It’s birthday season in our household. I shouldn’t complain—after all I lucked out when it comes to the warmer months! It’s just that once April starts—it feels like we’re celebrating birthdays every other week—and that’s probably because we are. Gemma starts the ball rolling in April, two weeks later in May—Caroline welcomes another year. Then June sees Rebecca turn a year older. July is all Pauline. Then a bit of a reprieve in August until Graceann celebrates her day in September. Friends and family have told me to hold one big blowout party for all my girls one day in the summer—but that’ won’t really fly. As it is now I try to combine two girls for one party—but they all want their special day—their recognition. Also think about it…would you want to be invited to a birthday party celebrating 5 birthdays? That’s 5 gifts….it makes more economical sense to just spread it out…even if it is every two weeks.

Now because I am known as “the creative” mother in my daughter's classes—I must let my birthday parties speak for themselves or I will forever lose my title. Therefore every party must be unique, special and simply WOW! Of course when you’re planning so many parties it’s hard to come up with a different theme every time…but where there’s a will there is a way. For Pauline’s 7th birthday we decided to go PINK. It was PAULINE’S PINK PARTY. Our invitation featured a photo of Pauline holding a dry erase board with the words COME TO MY PINK PARTY. Pauline of course was wearing pink. We asked all invited to celebrate Pauline’s day by wearing pink.

Our menu consisted of : PINK WATERMELON LEMONADE, PINK PIZZA (ok the sauce was red—but from certain angles next to the white cheese it came off as pink), PINK PENQUIN CUPCAKES, AND PINK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.

We played pin the fairy on the PINK FLOWER. Everyone won a chance to claim a gift on our PINK PRESENT TREE. And we all took turns swinging the PINK PINATA.


What a day it was!
Would love to hear what wonderful party themes you've created!
