Hello again... It's been a while since my last party post...I have decided to do an update on the parties that I have organised for the children of our family by starting from my nephew's third birthday party!
The list of children that were invited was long (we were of course in a post-coronavirus era) and that is why my sister decided to book a playground. In effect, the "canvas' for my party decoration was not what one would call a "blank" one!!! There were colours everywhere, inflatable toys, popcorn machines... everything that a proper playground consists of. So, I had to keep the theme clear and minimal. But since my nephew asked for a Paw Patrol party... I found myself in a rather difficult situation!!!
And that is because the Paw Patrol members make a pretty colourful team! In order to soothe the rainbow effect of the theme I had to stick with the two basic colours of the Paw Patrol logo -red and blue- and ensure that no other colour would pop out!
I had a budget of 200 euros. The space was huge and I would have to go way above budget in order to make it theme-related... So, I decided to concentrate in three main areas -that of the buffet, the photo-booth and the party gift tables. The rest of the venue would be filled with red and blue balloons.
Another limitation was that of time. I had only a couple of hours to prepare and that is why I had to pick only a few, easily transferable and placable items hoping that they would make a big statement.
Taking into account all these parameters I think the end-result was quite decent! My nephew was so so very happy and all the children had a great time! At the end of the day colours and decorations are nothing if they do not produce the joy that they are designed to produce! And vice versa, if a moderate decoration is capable of generating such a happy, smiling face then it is a totally successful one!
