This week we provided a large table centre arrangement and 5 smaller arrangements for a big Brownie Guide party in Chelmsford. The theme was Alice in Wonderland so we created a large Queen of Hearts Centre Arrangement using giant playing cards, heart shaped lollipops, lots of toffees wired onto florist wire and wrapped in cellophane and even flying saucers that I decorated with icing so that hopefully they looked like pocket watches. I then added lots of curly ribbon and red heart cards.
For the smaller table arrangements we gave them glass jars filled with lemon sherbet, "Drink me" labels and lots of lollies and jelly hearts.
Apparently all the Brownies dressed up to join in with the Alice theme and were so over excited by the sweets and decorations. I can't wait to see the pictures of them all.
In a couple of weeks, we're creating a "Super Mario" party for a 6 year old boy's birthday. There'll be Mario images, lots of pompoms and even a race circuit where the children get to have races in the karts that we are making from cardboard boxes - just think Romper Room and you'll know what I mean :-)
