  • Cake Smash

    Birthday banners, balloons, and bears set the stage for the cake smash area. Juliet's high chair was adorned with a pink tutu skirt, befitting the birthday girl!

  • Korean Doljabi Ceremony

    The birthday child is presented several items, all of which represent something for his/her future. Whichever object that child picks up first is supposed to predict their future interests. Guests get involved by writing their name on a card and placing it by the item they think the child will select. Juliet had a choice of Money (Wealth), String (Long life), Pencil (Scholar), Calculator (Financier like dad), Shoes (Fashionista like mom) and Psy (Entertainer). A career in finance might await this birthday girl as she selected the crystal calculator.

  • Guest Book

    The guest book, which was Juliet's story in pictures, was created using favorite photographs of Juliet with additional pages available for guests to write a personal note of birthday wishes for her. Just looking through the book was an opportunity to see how she had grown!
