We chose a simple circus carnival theme for Desmond's birthday, using a blue and red colour palette. We kept decorations simple by adding a few balloons and bunting above the table.

Korean first birthday parties are a big cultural celebration called "dol janchi". The main event is a "doljabi" which is when symbolic items (such as string - health, pencil - scholar, money - wealth, etc.) are placed in front of the child to choose as a prediction of his future.

We celebrated my daughter’s birthday with a terrarium garden party. The idea came about after reading an article about terrariums making a comeback and admiring all the beautiful green designs.

This vintage carnival themed party celebrating my sons’ 7th and 5th birthdays was, without a doubt, my favorite to date. With its timeless theme, festive color scheme, classic games and fun prizes, this party was my ultimate “awesome birthday party” and will be a tough one to top.

The theme for my daughter's birthday was pink ombre, black and white stripes, and shapes. We held the party in our 1000 square foot apartment. I wanted to share this with your readers to show that it is possible to have a birthday in a small space!

We had a simple party with homemade cake and ice cream for Josie's second year. The weather is always a bit dreary at the end of February around here, so we focused on a party with bright reds, pinks and greens to brighten the house.
