It's no secret that good things exist over the rainbow - perhaps that's why it's such a popular party theme. It's certainly one of my favourites. The great thing about selecting "Rainbow Party" as your theme is that almost all your decisions are automatically made for you from that moment on; everything can be multi-coloured, and to a certain extent that means almost anything can go.My daughters Mimi and Lotti went to a Rainbow Party a few weeks ago in a hire-hall where much of the party is done for you. It came fully furnished and with a Fun Fairy as host (with helpers) - nice!
- Decorations - included rainbow coloured streamers and multi-coloured fake-daisies in a row of different coloured glass vases.
- Tableware - was a pretty rainbow striped table runner with plenty of multi-coloured plastic plates and cups all mixed up with different coloured cupcake liners (used to hold popcorn) and serviettes.
- Activities - were varied, and included a lot of free-play in the garden, but there was also dancing with rainbow ribbons, a musical-walk to rainbow-themed music, an obstacle course on multi-coloured items, and a treasure hunt using multi-coloured balls.
- Food - the highlight of the party (aside from the beautiful smile on happy birthday girl's face) had to be the incredible rainbow cake baked by the birthday girl's daddy - wow!
If you have a party coming up and haven't come up with a theme, or don't think you need one - I highly recommend "Rainbow" as a clever way to introduce lots of colour, fun and structure to the day. It's perfect for a boy or girl, and can be adjusted to suit any age.
Go on - have your party somewhere over the rainbow.... Linda!
