Pinwheel Birthday Party

My Daughter turned one and I wanted to throw a really grand party which is full of color and fun! After weeks of changing my mind I pinned down Pinwheel as the party theme and my husband and I wore our work pants for three months and did craft every night! Believe me it was fun, so much fun that we now don't know what to do with our time. I would ask my husband what I wanted and how to make it and he would get straight onto it. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we enjoyed creating each and every piece of decoration. 

Pinwheels made of foam sheets, paper plate chandeliers, zig zag streamers  made from foam sheets, paper fans, paper lanterns, bunting and bright signage were the  decorations indoor and outdoor.

Dessert table was filled with birthday cake, cupcakes, cake pops, candies and a chocolate cake with Elina's favourite toy "Charley Bear". Please view my older post for the detailed pictures of the cake.

I made a photobooth with some props for everyone to take funny pictures. The photobooth was next to "Elina's Pinwheel Garden". the entrance to the marquee was decorated with lights made of paper cups in bright pastels to go with rest of the decorations.

Food had to be Indian as I am so good at it! There were five curries with rice and rotis for mains, but I did mix it up a bit with the starters. Veg Burgers on multigrain and wholemeal buns, mushroom and paneer tikka pinwheel puffs and chilli chicken. Kids menu comprised of fruit salad, noodles and chicken nuggets.

   

I asked my guests to sign or embroider a piece of fabric which I will sew together to make a quilt. This would be my next project!

In my next post I'll show the beautiful invite and the other crafts I did for the party.
