PARTY DETAILS, as told by Courtney…

If the saying were true that you are what you eat – my daughter would be a bowl full of Queso, tortillas, and a plate full of enchiladas. Her love of Mexican food inspired our decision to throw a “Floral Fiesta” to celebrate her 9th birthday.

The Kids’ Table:

Festive personalized paper flags in a variety of bright colors adorned the party room.

A sweet, festively embellished snail welcomed each girl to her seat – where each guest found a handmade colorful fiesta-style skirt along with a floral headpiece and bag to help set the fun party tone.

Party Activities:

Wearing their new festive attire, the girls danced to the Mexican Hat Dance music, passed the sombrero “hot potato” and burned energy with a variety of sombrero relay races. They used personalized piñata textured bags to scoop up candy sprayed from a bright bull-shaped piñata.

The girls also crafted 3 different masterpieces:

• painting a pot to house a vibrant cactus
• decorating a bashful piñata
• using glow-in-the-dark paint to create a fairy jar

After exuding energy in all the party activities – a taco bar awaited the girls. Here, they could refuel before diving into the dessert table!

The Dessert Table:

Replicating the bouncy, colorful layers of a fiesta skirt – the multi-colored cake stood front and center on the dessert table. Surrounding it were cupcakes adorned with fondant skirts and cake pops with similar flowing layers. Colorful cookies spelled out the birthday girl’s name.

Other cookies showcased Mexican flags and vibrant flowers. Fondant flowers also accessorized a variety of cactus cupcakes.

The culminating event to the evening was the girls smashing Cascarones (confetti-filled eggs) on one another!
