Strawberry Party

Today I'm sharing with you a few of my fave shots from Madena's 5th birthday from 2017. We had so much fun putting this little party together for her. She's so appreciative of every little detail. The kids had a lot of fun walking the aisles of bulk barn shopping for anything strawberry related! 

I often get asked for advice about putting a party together. The best advice I can give is just have fun with it and don't strive for perfection! (Pay attention to all my eraser marks on the chalkboard)  If you can, do some of your own baking, and try not to get caught up in the picture perfect world of Pinterest. Parties don't need to cost a ton to make kids happy!

Now to the good stuff! I'm super happy that my colourful cake plates were put to good use with this theme. The cake came together by adding in a couple spoons of jam to the buttercream. I garnished it with fresh thyme and more berries and love the overall minimalist feel. For drinks, we infused water with fresh strawberries and mint. The mini mason jars added a cute touch!

Each child received a wooden basket full of strawberry flavoured goodies such as lipgloss, bubble, gum and mini sanitizers!

I made mini cheesecakes in a jar, mini angel food cakes (store bought) with whipped cream, and chocolate covered strawberries.

Definitely one of my favourite memories!
