over the rainbow FOUR you

June 4, 2019

Where do I even begin? My childrens’ birthdays each and every year are such personal milestones for me. I thank God each and every day to have them and to celebrate them. When they hit that big whole number in age I always ponder in thought about how fast time is flying by and how the days, months, and years are just fleeting by quicker and quicker by the second.

My daughter’s 4th birthday theme changed several times as I was planning it. It seems like everyday I’m learning more about Peppa Pig, Rainbow Dash, and just all the different characters and interests little girls go through. I wanted to design a party purely reflective of what would put the biggest smile on my daughter’s face and rainbows and hearts were on the top of her list as we neared her birthday celebration. So after a lot of brainstorming I came up with an “over the rainbow FOUR you” theme to reflect her interests and her turning the fabulous four. Staying true to my personal aesthetic I kept all of the details reflective of my taste and tried to go a touch of tropical in linens and florals while staying committed to my love of pastel in pure Pretty Please Baby style. Did you guys know rainbows are most often seen in Hawaii? Hawaii is known as the “rainbow state” because of how much it can rain in that region, particularly Kauai.

Some of the activities I had lined up at the restaurant were face painting and balloon twisting. I also had ribbon wands handed out to the children along with entertainment from a couple of fairy characters from Party Karacters. I find that most of the time the children do well entertaining themselves when they are amongst their peers. I always have a mix of school friends as well as family friends so that everyone has a great time.

A big thanks to my go to vendors for bringing my vision to life. I’m forever grateful for these moments and ultimately the smile on my daughter’s face. To my daughter Sienna, mama is “over the rainbow FOUR you”. You are the light of my life and the forever rainbow in my sky. I love you.
