My client wanted to make sure guests were entertained from start to finish, from the youngest to the oldest.

When guests first arrived they signed Cydney’s birthday jersey, (a way to incorporate her father who is a NFL player),
and they also wrote birthday wishes to be stored in a keepsake box for Cydney to read when she’s older
Next, guests were invited to our photo booth, which I wanted to look more like home than a typical booth. The photographer, Andrea Taylor Studio, shot photos of all the guests in our booth and the guests were able to go online to see them.

The adults were entertained on the outdoor terrace with a Nintendo Wii station
Board games

And Kourosh, a caricature artist, who did fantastic drawings of the guests on this custom pre-printed background


The kids had their own tent with lunch bags


Elegant Event Sitters did a great job watching over the kids with crafts, including making birthday cards for Cydney

as well as a build a bear craft

We also hired Bubbleman who captivated the kids with bubbles


and there was also a magician who started with a show

and ended with balloon art


Finally, you can’t possibly have a kid’s party without a bouncer! We had a castle bouncer that sat on the dock beside the lake


A good time was had by all! Thanks to Andrea Taylor Studio for all the photos in this post. Coming up next, the final installment for this party, the food and favors!
