We were delighted when David and Claire from David Long Photography asked us to help with their son Rafferty’s 3rd birthday party. The challenge was they only asked us two weeks before the big day! Claire had some amazing ideas about how she wanted the party to look and all of this was to be in the theme of a village fete. The most exciting of her ideas for me as an event planner was the ice cream parlour and the sweetie table – a real opportunity to show what can be done not only for a 3rd birthday but really for any event or celebration. Our vision was a soft colour palette with clean lines and to keep the aesthetic simple and light. Pretty bunting helped create the village fete feel to the event. The sweetie table also added colour and we tied in the light blue theme with not only the table but also with the quirky ‘eat me’ ‘yum yum’ ‘sweetie heaven’ tags that were ribboned to the sweetie jars. We also had light blue gift tags made with a message from Rafferty on the back. Both the ice cream table and the sweetie table were a huge hit. Each child loved filling a bag of sweets as their going home present.
