I’m sure that you have all seen by now that Kyla is kind of obsessed with pink, and thankfully Riya just goes with whatever is happening and is not really fussed. So to make a “pink theme” a bit more exciting we added the “Princesses and Knights” to the theme, which just made her day. Especially since she has found this new obsession with Princesses –Thank you Disney Channel on DSTV. Have mentioned that she is such a girly girl.
This was the invitation to the Princess Party (and yes, those are the girls faces skilfully inserted into the cartoon pictures by Seth – he is good at this kind of thing):
We also tried our hand at making a pink castle cake with fondant icing. And for a first attempt I recon it came out pretty well! Seth (being the architect that he is) designed the entire cake in Revit first, to make sure that he was happy with how it was going to look. Then we got stuck in to making it look good.
Because it was a double birthday party, I think we had double the amount of people that normal people would have at a party. We even had to hire a little hall to accommodate everyone. With the help of the pink tissue paper pom poms that we made, it helped turn the hall into an awesome pink venue:
Then obviously there are the birthday princesses to consider! I think they are just the most gorgeous things ever in the world!
Getting a look at themselves in the mirror…
My wild haired child – she looked like a little doll.
Tired – even before she had to start entertaining her friends.
More on the people that attended and the actual party tomorrow, once I have had a chance to edit some of the photos.

[…] Anyway, last weekend we had 3 parties in one day, but I haven’t even had a chance to get myself together enough to post about it. But one of them was a Princess party. And almost a full year ago (OK, only 9 months to be fair), we had a Princess Party and we got the girls princess dresses that would step up to the occasion. You can see those pics here… […]
