If you know me, you would probably know that I LOVE to throw a party! I've been known to start planning for my children's birthday parties 6 months out! I have them pick a theme and I eagerly get to it. Yes, I'm crazy! But let me tell you this, all the fun  Mums are!  Below are just too cool not to share Party Ideas.

Fairy Theme Party

Princess Theme Party

Soccer !

Airborne

We are huge fans of Alice in Wonderland themed parties around here so when a young lady approached us to organize one , it had  us head over heels for tea cups and dress up! She had us at Jazebelle!

An Alice in Wonderland-inspired tea party is the perfect choice for an elegant yet simple afternoon bridal shower, get- together or birthday. Plenty of finger foods, sweets and tea, of course! This theme leaves a lot of room for whimsical details ~ spring flowers, teacups, and anything crazy!!!

An ART BIRTHDAY PARTY is great for almost any child and can be geared to most ages.

Younger children can enjoy coloring, painting, and easy games. Older children can be challenged to draw abstract self portraits and guess famous painters. An ART PARTY can be held at home (preferably in the yard or garden), at a park, at a children's museum, or paint-it-yourself ceramics studio.Contact us for the Violetblush ART PARTY experience. Our theme ranges from:  

 1.       Astronomy

The children will be guided to create their own telescope in this activity using recycled materials.

 2.       Iznik Tiles (Tile Painting Workshop)

Iznik Tiles is a workshop for children inspired by the Iznik Tiles from Turkey. Children will be given a set of tiles, template designs of flower motifs and ceramic paint and will be guided on creating their own “mini” Iznik Tiles. Suitable for children 7 years old above.

3.       Plate Painting

Children will be given a plastic plate with template designs of different flower motifs to choose from. Using acrylic paints, the children will be guided to paint their plate with their own creativity. Suitable for kindergarten children.

4.      Batik Coloring

Batik coloring on a 25 x 25 ready waxed design on white cloth. Batik will be framed for children to take home. Suitable for 7 yrs and above (as well as adults).
