Of Ribbon Wands and Birthday Parties

 So my little girl turns 2 in September and me being the event organiser/crazy person I've started organising everything early. In my eyes earlier the better as you never know what could happen should you leave things to the last minute.

We've decided on a Fairy Princess and Lost Boys Theme, I was torn since I have such a teenie tiny backyard so I've had to go all out and hire a location at the park. It was a half decent price to be honest and I'm quite happy we have the park for the entire day too So from morning when it opens to the afternoon when it closes so it will give us plenty of time to work everything out.

I think a few people think I'm insane organising a 2 year old's birthday party 2 - 3 months in advance, but being in the event industry I don't see the harm! Not only am I organising her birthday but a wedding for early next year too! I think it's in my nature... I've decided no set games... we'll have a face painter, lots of bubbles been blown from a bubble machine, a pull String pinata, Balloons, Peter Pan Hats, and ribbon wands. The last two hand made =)

So far I've got the wands complete. They are quite easy to make and not too expensive... Plus it's a good party bag gift considering Lollies will equal hyper 2 year olds which I don't think I could handle...

If you want help in how to make these gorgeous wands feel free to ask =)

Once I've worked out the Peter Pan Hats with some help of hopefully another wonderful Young mum I will be able to show the world those too! Wish me luck!

I'm really relieved that I have a lot of my daughter's birthday party complete... I mean imagine how insanely stressed I'd be should I have left everything to the last minute right?
