Hi Everyone,
I hope you are doing well. I have been trying to decide what my second post should be and I thought I should write about the party we recently threw for my daughter Portia. The Theme of the Party was Miraculous Lady Bug and Cat Noir. A cartoon that my daughter is in love with. My husband and I also enjoy watching the cartoon. It has great content and has great characters. The main heroine is a teenage girl and boy who have been given superpowers to save Paris. They do this during each and every episode. If you have a chance to watch I strongly suggest you check it out.
We ordered the cake from St Phillips Bakery in Woodbridge and the cake was better than expected. We ordered a strawberry sfoglia and we had a picture of Lady bug and Cat Noir placed on the top of the cake. The cake was loved by all who attended the party. It was light and mouth watering. We had very little cake left over and people actually ate the piece on their plate. I would also strongly recommend getting any cakes, pastries from them. They even have a hot lunch counter and the food is awesome.
I printed various pictures of the characters and taped them around the room. I also bought various Paris themed items and displayed them throughout the room. I placed tiny eiffel towers with glued on ladybugs as the centre pieces on the tables.
I cooked all the food enjoyed by all. I made some homemade pizzas, a meat lasagne, caesar salad and a kale sesame seed salad. Everyone enjoyed the food (I say with a sigh of relief). I stress about the food for every event because it is important for me that everyone enjoy the food and fill up. I dislike the thought of someone leaving my event hungry. I also made some cupcakes with chocolate and vanilla frosting.
I love planning parties. I start with the theme and then I go from there. I think about decorations, invitations, food and I go a little over the top but I explain that by saying I just want it to be perfect.
Growing up we didn’t celebrate birthdays so I think that is why I go a little over the top when I am hosting a birthday party for someone. I just want the party to be perfect and I want everyone to enjoy it. What do you do when you plan a party? comment and let me know what you do.
Talk soon Ruthie J
