Rainbow Themed Party

This bright Rainbow Party certainly added a dash of color to an otherwise cold, wet winter's day in Cape Town. The colorful invitation set the mood for a great rainbow party celebration.

In my usual style, I brought the invitation design into the party decor, including a large Welcome Sign placed on the mantle piece - the focal point in this home - and pictures of the birthday girl alongside.  The fireplace was covered with a piece of large 'furry' material and allowed me to display the hanging banner quite nicely.  Other elements included some rainbow colored balloons, set in a slight arch above the mantle.

The sweets table was obviously the centre of much attention!  I created a rainbow backdrop using party streamers cut to length and secured to the wall using double sided tape.  The white lanterns represent a cloud  effect.  Unfortunately we lost two in a strong draft at the last minute so the party had to proceed without the full cloud effect. :-(

Rainbow jellies and an assortment of colorful sweets were laid out for the kids to nibble on.

A small selection of rainbow colored snacks were on offer for the 'adults' with themed food toppers, of course. Popcorn and crisps were displayed in large vases which added a nice effect to the table.

And what is a rainbow party without the ever-popular Rainbow Cake?  The effort involved was so worthwhile.  And it tasted great too.  :-)
