Party Recap

Karys' 7th Birthday - A Prelude to Paris

We had so much fun planning Karys' 7th birthday because it was such a beautiful, dreamy and timeless theme. She will be celebrating part of her birthday in Paris, we wanted to get her a bit excited and at the same time share a slice of Paris' magic with our friends and relatives.

Guests entered the ballroom through an 8 foot tall miniature Arc di Triomphe where a 16 ft miniature Eiffel tower greeted them in front and "2-storey" Parisian shop windows to the right.

It was a lovely afternoon party with the kids dancing and singing away with a mini concert with the birthday celebrant playing the violin and the piano. There was a jumping castle and slide, foosball table, nail art station, and kiddie parlor.

The pastry table had a gorgeous 3-tier three dimensional lighted cake which was topped with edible sugar flowers, lighted streetlamps and ceiling light, and a tiny cake and pastries inside the cake. There were "plum-engineered treats such as macarons with special filling, cheesecake shortcrusts with an edible dome and a tiny eiffel tower inside, clear cookies, and other to-pretty-to-eat sweets that the kids just devoured.

For the souvenirs, we gave Chanel inspired jelly bags for girls and digital watches for boys. Prizes were kiddie jewelry and smart watches.

It was the little details and the memories we created that made it enjoyable and memorable.

    So happy with their super cute and creative designs. They wanted something that was not too overtly Parisian like the usual stuff they put on the cake (landmarks etc.) So they decided to make a patisserie - complete with working streetlight and ceiling light on top of miniature pastries and a tiny cake within the cake. I love their "plum-engineered" macarons where you release a syrup before you eat the macaron and the edible dome on their cheesecake crusts that hides a tiny Eiffel tower.
