PARTY DETAILS, as told by Justine…

Decor

• This is a Japanese Kimmidoll inspired 2nd birthday party that was styled in collaboration with Parties- Party Planner in Malaysia.
• As the party was held overseas (we are based in Melbourne, Australia), all of the concept and planning were done from Melbourne and the execution of the party took place just a day after we touched down in Kuala Lumpur.
• It is one of our favourite parties as we had the opportunity to transform a restaurant’s VIP dining area into a little Japanese garden as our theme; with bursts of colors and culture from the land of the rising sun.

Kid’s Japanese Table & Furoshiki Favours

• A Japanese style table setting was setup for the kids and was placed on astro turf alongside cherry blossom plants and colourful Japanese parosols to emulate a Japanese tea garden.
• Each place setting encompassed a Japanese bento set with a fabric-wrapped traditional Japanese Furoshiki favour box, filled with an assortment of authentic Japanese candy and products.
• The centrepiece featured a fish bowl of 8 swimming fish that provided much amusement to the kids throughout the party.
• After the party the fish were safely released into the birthday girl’s very own fish pond as a keepsake from her birthday.

Origami PhotoBooth & Giants Paper Cranes

• We loved incorporating origami art into our party so when it came to the photobooth, we created an origami fan photo backdrop that was embellished with paper lanterns and japanese parasols.
• We also designed a life size Kimmidoll cutout birthday sign to welcome the guests.
• The venue was also filled with colorful giant hanging paper cranes & paper lanterns- a true japanese staple.

Activities (Geisha Face Painting & Japanese Crafting): 

• A geisha face painting booth was setup along with an origami and craft table to entertain the kids using personalised colouring sheets and origami instructions sheets.

Japanese Desert Tables

• The main feature of the dessert table is the 30cm tall 3D Kimmidoll cake that was baked by the talented Xiao by Crustz.
• Our dessert table featured a variety of Japanese inpired sweets such as Green tea pudding served in oriental teacups, hand piped Kimmidoll shaped macarons, Kimmidoll cupcakes, Japanese paper fan and Kimono styled biscuits, sushi-shaped candy imported from Japan and a variety of other Japanese candy and treats.
• Candy bags were handstamped with custom designed Kimmidoll ink stamps.
