Are you planning a storybook party? Here are some simple, but awesome ideas as inspiration to plan a great party, one for the books!

I just loooove to plan a party! And my daughter just looooves books, so for her 2nd birthday party we had a storybook party or in Afrikaans we called it “Partytjie in Storieland”. This photo above of the balloon rainbow is of the entrance to the party which we held upstairs in the studio.

 
The invitations were in a book form, with popular tales as the theme together with her story: “Two years ago a sweet little girl was born…” Her friends were invited to come and spend time with Lella in Storyland and to dress up as their favorite characters. She was Red Riding Hood.
 
On the party table, a basket was placed on a personalized placemat for each friend. The placemats were different storybook pictures. Inside the basket, they found an apple (Snow White), a Gingerbread man cookie, Jelly beans (Jack and the beanstalk), a big lollipop (Hansel and Gretel), some popcorn and other goodies. The centerpiece was a few books stacked with helium balloons tied to them.
 
Two-year-olds do not need much entertainment, luckily because it is a cold winter’s day and we have to keep indoors! We had storytime and fantasy play. The plastic playhouse was the 7 Dwarfs’ house and the pink play tent was Rapunzel’s castle.
 
The cake was in the form of a book with a photo of Lella and a picture of the Three Little Bears (this time I had it made professionally) and it was delicious! For the adults, we had tea and coffee with the cake for tea time so that we finished by noon so that the little ones can be home for naptime.
 
Lella had a good time, although I don’t think she really understood what the fuss was about. A very memorable day for us adults though!
 

PS: Have you seen this Zoo Party, Dinosaur Party and Shark Party?
