A jungle party!

It was Giorgia’s birthday today and also her jungle-themed birthday party. We sent out these cute invitations that I bought on eBay.

I like buying matching party ware so I got plates, cups and napkins in the same jungle design, again from eBay…noticing a pattern in my shopping for party supplies?

I bought snap bands…you know the ones that are pieces of tape measures covered in fabric? I used them as napkin rings. One major fail was forgetting to buy a table cloth hence the reason the table was covered in yellow polka dots *oops!*

Remember when I mentioned the green cardboard? I was making a frog and leaf banner as well as snakes. Jungle-themed balloons and vines made out of crepe paper were also part of the decorations.

We love pinatas but we don’t love the possibility of accidents with the pinata basher so I buy the pull-down types…

The cake was quite interesting to say the least but it tasted delicious! Giorgia requested the same rainbow cake that I made for Bill’s birthday. Games included Barrel o’ Monkeys, Musical Chairs, Pass the Parcel and Animal Freeze. I didn’t do jungle-themed food but the food included the normal party stuff like mini pies and sausage rolls, fairy bread, cupcakes, chips, lollies, and cocktail frankfurts.

I’d say the day was a success! Giorgia had fun with her friends. She loved her gifts and everyone looked as though they had fun.

If I could do it again, I would have maybe created more of a jungle atmosphere in the garden but other than that, it was fun.

It’s a jungle out there!

Giorgia’s turning 9 soon and her birthday party this year is jungle-themed so we got us some jungle-themed party ware and goody bag treats.

I’m planning on making this really cute monkey banner that I found in one of my party books. I’ll share how I make them in another post.

Green Cardboard

Leaves, half-made frogs and curly snakes.

This is what my afternoon consisted of.
