DR.SEUSS/ CAT IN THE HAT 6TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

    


My 6 yr. old has been wanting to have her party at Lollipop's Playland.  A famous indoor playland for toddlers & children.  Since I know that it can get really hot on her birthday, it would be a great idea for her & her friends to have a good supervised play indoors.

Bella's party is not complete without some books to give out so first I worked on a book bag instead of a goody bag.  These calico bags are from eBay.com (US)  It was $1 per piece and you can personalise the labels too! Shipping was reasonable as the dollar rate was really good.
 
All the guests got a personalised Dr. Seuss book signed by the birthday girl.
   
                                    


The invites were printed locally by Printastic.

I wanted my birthday girl to wear a simple cut but magical dress.   I've looked around and couldn't find anything in black, red and white that is not too busy so I told myself I will make one for her.  I am not a sewer so I looked for a simple white dress that I can design.  
This plain white tutu dress was chanced upon me from Little Moos Australia.  www.littlemoos.com.au
The dress initially came with a white oversized rose but I was advised it wasn't available so they replaced it with a silky red ribbon which was great.  When the dress came, the silky red didn't really match the tiny grosgrain ribbons I bought for the top part of the dress. 
So I bought more red and black grosgrain ribbons from Lindcraft.  Lindcraft has all kinds of ribbons in different sizes. Check out www.lindcraft.com.au
The number 6 is an iron-on shirt label which I got really cheap from ebay Australia.  It also comes with a step by step how to guide so you make sure it sticks to the fabric without crease. 
And alas, her mummy-made Cat in the Hat dress!



                                    My darling 6 year old on yet another beautiful Spring day!


As usual, her amazing cake made by her super-creative Aunt Rae.  Like her Facebook page below:

Isn't this the most unique cake ever?  The mums and dads are gushing about this chocolate ganache flavour.  It was surely a hit!


          They had a surprise visit not from Cat in the Hat but another cat named Lollipop!




                                                                    What a cheeky cat!



                                                            Happy birthday to YOU!



                           

                                                             
                                                       
                                                        Until the next birthday cards...
