Party Recap

I found the Konnichiwa party on this site by Risa B. and fell in love. Now how to adapt this to fit a 12 year old~and in came the Harajuku inspiration. The girls all came dressed Harajuku style. They made hats to go with their outfits, painted kokeshi dolls, and painted kanji symbols on t-shirts. They danced alot! Such a sweet, cute and super fun party!!

Idea

Party Highlights

  • Desserts

    Custom Cupcakes

  • Activities / Games

    Mini Hat Decorating - Origami folding- Kanji Symbol Painting - Kokeshi Dolls

  • Budget

    ~under 100-- incudes crafts, food and some decorations. Alot of the decor I pulled from other parties I have done, and I made the invites and printables. I used $1 wrapping paper on the table and backdrops. I use wrapping paper alot to decorate with, you can find beautiful inexpensive paper and jazz up your tables and backdrops for pennies.

  • Party Favors

    All of their crafts fit into takeout chinese boxes, along with some funky hairbows, chopsticks and green tea bags.

  • What People Ate

    "Fake" Sushi

    Green Tea

    Hi Lisa, I made them, you can get all the supplies at Michaels. The bottoms are unfinished wood cups or candle cups, the top head is a ball with a one flat side, and the 'hair' are small balls. I can't remember if I used E6000 glue or hot glue to attach, but either will work. They all come in packages in the unfinished wood/craft section.
