Lewis Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 We had a bouncy castle and chocolate fountain at Mom & Dads party We borrowed a patio heater from a neighbour which was really good when it got cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 How about a winter theme in recognition of when her birthday was? Fake snow, blow up snowmen, a chirstmas tree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Vodka jellies! Big bowl of Sangria. Will have a think about decs... but you could make it like a hareem tent, by hanging up sarongs & fairy lights! Some garden oil lamp torch things. It will be like rock the kasbah! Poundshop is your best friend for decorations - it's amazing what can be done with a bit of imagination! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillicat Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 How about a coloured theme? Every year I have a BBQ and have been doing a coloured theme for the past 5 years. Everyone has to wear the colour etc. I've done pink, white and diamonds, red, purple ......this year its yellow (and I'm going to be 40!). For the pink one I had loads of balloons tied around the marquee poles, which cost me an arm and a leg. Last year I made some huge purple bows with curling ribbon tassles which went to the floor, covering up the marquee poles. Cost me about £5 and the result was great. Hope you have a great time.
