Hannah turns two in a months' time and we're inviting 35 guests to our small townhouse (or that's the current plan). Decided to have the birthday party for her in our not-so-large courtyard with four overgrown bushes and 8 succulent plant pots.
Choice #1: Mid-morning finger food affair
Cafe style tables covered with pretty yellow and white floral fabric
Pretty chairs
Orange and yellow lanterns above on a string across courtyard
(Problems: nearing afternoon will get very hot and with a sail shade above, it will make it very unpleasant. Our townhouse is WAYYY too small for 35 people)
Lanterns available (Australian sites) at Vivid Room and Asian Ideas.
Or make my own pretty ornaments from something called "honeycomb paper" ala MS.
Choice #2: Twilight BBQ
Cafe style tables covered with pretty yellow and white floral fabric
Pretty chairs
Plenty of mozzie repellants
Row of different height pillar candles lining the buffet table
Candles on the cafe style tables
(Problems: have a few very young babies and come evening time it's time for parents to wind down and put their bubs to bed)
