Melody’s wanted her 7th birthday party to be unicorn themed. She had it planned for awhile, and she even knew exactly what she wanted her cake to look like. She apparently watched a video on YouTube Kids where they decorated cakes, and she saw one she wanted. I wasn’t sure how I was going to do this, and my backup was to just use Publix. I knew they had a unicorn cake even if it wasn’t the “right” one. Well I talked with my cousin at Easter, and she apparently was starting a bakery. Melody was telling her all about the cake she wanted, and my cousin said she would love to make it! Her instagram handle is @bluebirdbakeryelkmont if you want to see her work!
The theme for Melody’s 7th birthday party was unicorns. For some of her birthdays in the past, I would make wooden numbers fit for the theme. Well she got disappointed the first year I missed doing that. So now I can’t forget. I let her completely design it this year. It really made it hard for me to step back and do that, but she really wanted to. She painted it herself, and I simply glued on the unicorn horn. The idea is the back of the seven is the tail. I am not entirely sure you can see it, but that is what she was going for!
Back in May, we celebrated Melody’s 7th birthday. This year she landed on having a unicorn themed birthday party. I didn’t want to just have a re-do of her Rainbow Rangers party which included unicorns. So I decided to take it to a more pastel colored vibe and super girly unicorn stuff! (Wanna look back at all the parties I have done for Melody? Scroll to the very bottom for the links!)
For Melody’s 6th birthday party, I made a LOT of lists to help me keep up with all the things. Lists sometimes are my best friend, and when it comes to planning an event, they are super helpful. My lists vary from what is needed on each table, general decor, what is needed for each item (think invites, favors, etc.), and to do lists. My to do lists are done in two steps. One - I make a general list. Two - I take said list and organize it by ideal date that it needs to be completed. This then gives me a good idea on how I am going to complete all the things.
Yes, it is January, and I am still posting about Melody’s 6th birthday party from back in May. I am super behind on posting all kinds of content. Such is the season of life I am in! So for Melody’s birthday, we decided to have it somewhere new. We always have it at home, but Melody did not want that. It was probably a good thing since she wanted to invite her entire class. Through another blog, I found a place called Cheerville Party Place. The price is a steal, the location is good, and you can have an unlimited number of guests which is ideal.
To save energy and make life generally easier, I did cupcakes for Melody’s 6th birthday party. She asked for a Doc McStuffins themed party. I did pink and purple cupcakes, but I also decided to add cupcake toppers to make them fit within the theme even more.
