Yzhi's Barbie Party @ Home

Last Sunday (March 11, 2012) was Yzhi's 7th birthday. Her mom loves the previous barbie party that I hosted for Stephanie way back 2010. So here I am again making the same party but with some additional details.

INVITATION

Below is her invitation that I made. The invitation was placed in a pink envelop.

OUTFIT

I made a dark pink tutu for her and I also asked her mom to buy a white plain shirt, black leggings and a headband. The shirt and leggings were bought at SM Department store while the headband was purchased at a local vendor for Php 25 pesos or around $ 0.60. The shirt was printed with barbie silhouette using heat press at a local shop for 70 pesos or $ 1.66, I then added some pink beads since it looks too plain. And since Yzhi's doesn't have a ballet flats that will match on the outfit, her mom decided to buy her at SM department store, it's a good thing that she was able to bought with a same shade of color as her skirt. By the way the brand is "Sugar Kids".

PRE- BIRTHDAY PHOTOSHOOT

I decided to take a photo of the celebrant before the event so I can used the photo for my dessert table. The photo was taken outside of our home, I used white cloth and old tarpaulin as a background. Her mom was surprised when I show this to her, she said that it looks like it was taken at the studio. :)

PARTY PROPS

The party will not be complete without the life size doll box. So here's my new doll box that my sister and I made using a refrigerator box it's a bit bigger compare to the one that I previously made to Stephanie.

LET THE PARTY BEGIN...

As additional decoration I used black bag (trash bag) as background of my dessert table.

Hand sanitizer as party favor for adullts.

my lollipop topiary using size 3" styro ball.

Quake bar that was bought at a local super market

Yzhi and friend :)

Too bad I wasn't able to take photo of the cake and cupcake, since I feel so tired already that I went home just before the party starts. I even forgot to bring our cam with me so I just borrowed my boyfriend sister's ipad instead. I hope everyone had a great time :)

Purple day...

My Niece Ysia turned 4 last August 6, 2011. Planning the entire party for her is a little bit tough, since she has this do's and don't when it comes to her party. She doesn't have any particular favorite character like the other kids do, so that idea alone is quite tough. However, what we did is to incorporate the entire party on the things that she loves. And that include girls stuff like cosmetics, accessories and nail polish. Of course, she wants her party to be in purple that's her MAJOR rule.

Goody bags:

Since it's an intimate celebration, I decided to used takeout boxes for her goody bag. I simply love using it since it's easy to decorate plus it doesn't take too much item to fill it up. I put assorted purple candies inside in which we bought at SM Supermarket.

Cookies:

As part of the treat for the kids, we bought assorted cookies in cosmetic shape. Ysia loves it, the moment she saw it on the table. Even the adults were amazed. I packed the cookies individually in a cellophane bag and added a ribbon and tag. I also placed it in a clear bowl with shredded purple tissue paper that I bought in National Bookstore. I made the tag using plain white paper board and the spare gift wrapper that I used on the goody bag.

Cake:

Ysia wants her cake in purple, so we decided to made it customized. We came up with nail polish cake design for her. We even requested to put 4 ml on the side of the bottle, since its her 4th birthday.

Banner:

I love making birthday banners, its inexpensive and it plays a major role in your dessert table. I used gift wrapper and cartolina that I bought in National Bookstore and came up with this:

Other treats:

Who will ever thought that a regular quake and cream-O cake bar that you usually saw in local supermarket will make a big difference in your dessert table?... We bought two packs of each items and alternately put in a big purple and placed it in a big white tray, we also added cocktail toothpick on it to make it a little extra special.

We also have lollipop mallows as an alternative to those big and expensive lollipops that we bought at SM Supermarket for 20.00 pesos per piece. I also added purple ribbon and sticker on it and then I placed it in a recycled box which I covered with gift wrapper and shredded tissue paper.

Also, check out the napkin ring that I made using gift wrapper:

And since we love taking pictures, I made this purple tree background using photoshop and have it printed on tarpaulin.

The birthday celebrant enjoying her BIG day :)
