It was my daughter's 5th birthday this past October and she decided on a Hello Kitty theme for her party.
First up, decor! My daughter and I found an idea for a Hello Kitty lantern online and decided to create something similar. The supplies were a breeze - all you need is a white paper lantern, scissors, white/yellow/black/white card stock and tape.
With the card stock, cut out ears, whiskers, eyes nose and bow. We decided to outline the ears with a black marker and bow with a dark pink marker. Affix cut pieces on lantern with tape.
Next up, party favors! We invited friends of different age categories. We decided to give the older girls Hello Kitty bike bags, the older boys Canucks hockey pucks/Pokemon and the toddlers received Hello Kitty coloring books with glitter crayons.
My daughter hand wrote her guests names on a label and we added lollipops to the craft bag.
For my favorite part, the cake! I must admit that I was a little rusty with the cake decorating. There was initially a design in mind but the creative process and time restrictions snuck up on me!
The top tier was a mess. I simply ran out of time. It is supposed to be a silhouette of Hello Kitty and I think her face, in its entirety, would have worked better.
Now, my daughters actual birthday was during the school week. She wanted to bring sugar cookies as her birthday treat to the class. This is the sugar glaze design we decided on.
Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!
