and themed parties are my thing.
today of course I had a lot of help from my little creative one
she decided to paste 6 pieces of cardboard together to create a eras board of sorts. and akshaya thought to do it like the eras poster itself. both got to painting. it was meant at first as an art piece. then i saw it and figured it could be a mood board though I didn't know that was the term for what i had in mind. list fav songs for each era in there. that was the idea. then after the movie list again.
morning dawned and new ideas bloomed. I said it could be a dice game. land on an era and name a song, no repeats.
final version. they made bracelets all afternoon. places bracelets in matching board. then played the game. the clues for those lost were the bracelets themselves. it was great fun. unique too.. aishu aikshaya and I have been playing night after night.
okay then, decorations. we had collected the posters from St and those went up on the wall, by varshini and aishu . and ashwin had got her a mirror ball which we put up as well.
we had bought so many beads over last few months and kids made bracelets all afternoon, to music from her albums.
and food.
we had coloured food for each era, which I made in the kitchen for 3.5 hours in addition to dinner!
1. guacamole green for debut
2. tortilla chips yellow for
3. grapes purple for speak now
4. strawberries red for red
5. vanilla cup cakes with incing and blue sprinkles for 1989 ( wow!)
6. lindt chocs black for reputation
7. love letters pink for lover
8. cream cheese frosting as dip white for evermore
9. choc wafers brown for evermore
10. blue berries for midnight
like wow right! and aishu and akshaya made gorgeous placards for these foods in their colours and era titles.
felt like a real eras tour party when done
meanwhile they ate oranges, I made potato wedges and two kinds of pasta and their friend brought cute little pau baji, it was a blast
then the movie and loud singing till 1030pm. then the photo with all our bracelets and it was over! dropped off the girls with taylor swift music blasting and talking talking talking .
we made her our own that night, something to remember
