My youngest has turned three, and as usual, there was a lot of excitement in our house about what kind of birthday party he might have. When it comes to little ones' parties, I like to keep things simple and traditional—just a small gathering with a few of their friends and their mums for tea.
This year, our funny little chap’s love for the colour yellow inspired us to create a sunny, happy, and cheerful late-summer tea party. We wanted something bright, playful, and full of joy—just like him!
Here are some of the highlights that made the celebration extra special:
🎉 A ‘Happy’ Garland – We crafted a charming DIY garland using spare treat bags, tying everything together with a cohesive look.
🧁 Mini Balloon Cupcake Toppers – These tiny balloon decorations added a fun and whimsical touch to the cupcakes, making them look as cheerful as the rest of the party. (check out the DIY Mini balloon cupcake toppers)
🌈 Crepe Paper Streamer Table Runners – Simple crepe paper streamers doubled as table runners, adding a pop of colour and an effortless festive feel.
🍰 Cake Ribbon with a Twist – Instead of a traditional ribbon, we cut crepe paper streamers into a delicate scallop shape to decorate the cake—such an easy, cheap and effective touch!
✨ Scalloped Paper Tablecloth Edging – A plain paper tablecloth was given a charming makeover with a simple hand-cut scalloped edge. Sometimes, the little details make all the difference.
🎈 Wall Decor with Paper Plates – Who knew paper plates could make such cute decorations? We embellished them with letter stickers to create a fun and inexpensive party backdrop.
🎊 Balloon Piñatas! – The highlight of the day for the kids was the huge 36” balloon piñatas, filled with confetti and treats. Chasing them around until they popped was pure joy for the little guests—an exciting and colourful surprise!
The party was filled with laughter, sunshine, and lots of happy little faces. I love how something as simple as a colour can inspire a theme that brings everything together beautifully.
