Party Recap

My daughter’s party was preplanned two years prior to the unforeseen pandemic. She was going to have an extra special birthday celebration entering her double digits. Not only was she turning 10 years old, but she was also moving to another state, due to military orders. This was going to be her “farewell” party, leaving single digits and Texas. She was going to celebrate at Jellystone Park Camp Resort and have 3 friends to sleepover and GLAMP in the cabins. In spite of not having the intended party, she had an isolated Glamping Party with her sister at Camp QuaranTEN!

INVITATIONS: I created the invitations on Vistaprint. I wanted them to contain information and pictures about Camp QuaranTEN so I made them as brochures. I changed the wording due to COVID-19 and figured to pass them out as keepsakes to family, friends, and those who gifted her.

ATTIRE: For the photoshoot, my daughter wore a distressed camouflage Happy Camper hat with a RV embroidery on front. She had on a white shirt sleeved fringe shirt that read Birthday (teal) Glamper (gold) with a pink teepee behind the wording. She wore camouflage leggings and her “hiking boots” were hot pink Dr. Marten boots. Her accessories were hit pink earrings and a camouflage beaded bracelet.
On the first day of “glamp”, the birthday girl wore her outfit from the photoshoot. Instead of wearing her camouflage hat, she wore her camouflage headband. Dad wore a charcoal gray shirt, with a RV on front, that read Life Is Better When You’re Camping. He wore denim jeans and grey Puma sneakers. I wore a white shirt with a leopard RV on front that read Glamping Queen. I had on black skinny jeans with leopard Converse shoes. My distressed hat was black with Happy Glamping leopard print. Little sis wore a heather grey shirt with a floral RV on front that read RV There Yet? She had on denim shirts, heather grey Skechers that matched the shirt, and a pink headband.
On her actual birthday, the birthday girl wore a black t-shirt that read officially quaranTEN with the number 10 in the center. The wording was a sparkly pink. She had on black leggings, pink earrings, and black Skechers. Her little sis wore a purple shirt that read Let’s Get Toasted in black, with a campfire and s’mores in the center. She wore black shorts and purple Saucony sneakers. I wore the same shirt in heather orchid with black Bermuda shirts and matching Skechers.
The final outfit worn at Camp QuaranTEN was a teal t-shirt with a sparkly panda decal on front and underneath the panda read BEARly Awake: BEAR(pink)ly Awake (black). She had black leggings, pink panda socks, and black sparkly flip flops. Her little sis had the exact outfit except her panda decal and wording were not sparkly. These matching NJ outfits were worn as sleepwear.

DECORATIONS: Outside I had balloon decor above the door and matching foil curtains on the door. I used a company called Signgypsies to make a sign in the front yard that read Happy Quaran10 KaMiyah.
I set up Glamping tents in the living room and placed a panda backpack above each tent. Behind the tents were metallic teal foil curtains. I covered the twin mattresses with black sheets and black pillowcases; I had decorative teal pillows next to the regular size pillows; I placed pink blankets on top of the mattresses and had black trays on them with panda tumblers, panda plush bears, glamp aid kits, mini lanterns, sequins backpack purses, and blue mini buckets with trail mix. I also placed teal t-shirts on the blankets that had a picture of a sleeping panda that read BEARly Awake, black leggings with matching pink panda socks, black flip flops, and panda eye masks. In front of the mattresses were pink heart rugs with panda pillow pets on top.
I placed an artificial tree between the mattresses and decorated them with sparkly clip on pink and gold flowers, compasses, and mini lanterns. I had a banner connected to both tents that read Happy QuaranTEN. I put black, pink, and teal balloons behind the artificial tree and between the tents. I put a sign in the corner that read Happy Glamper: Welcome to Camp QuaranTEN. I used a mini artificial tree with lights and placed it next to the sign.
I decorated the fireplace with pink and gold colors and made a fire out of tissue paper “so the girls could roast marshmallows.” I decorated a table in front of the fireplace with a pink tablecloth. The table was decorated with the following S’Mores items: Golden Grahams cereal bars, Nestle Hot Cocoa with marshmallows, graham crackers, large marshmallows, Hershey chocolates, and trail mix. A Happy Camper door sign, mini lanterns, and the panda tumblers were added props to the S’mores & More table station.
The cake table was decorated with a black tablecloth. I had the following on the table: S’mores cupcakes, S’mores cakepops, mini buckets of trail mix, chocolate teddy grahamas (Don’t Feed The Bears), Cheetos puffs and Flamin’ Hot Fries (Campfire Flames), pretzels (Twigs), and informative brochures of Camp QuaranTEN.
I placed a matching multi color foil curtain behind the cake table. I put black balloons on each side of the foil curtain and in the center there were gold letter balloons that read Happy B-day.
