Let me tell you, Arabella’s Alice in Wonderland party was one was the most last-minute, budget-friendly party I’ve ever done. That’s really saying something too, because I always leave parties until the last minute and I always try to spend as little money as possible. This Alice in Wonderland party had the smallest budget of…
You’re invited to a night owl slumber party
Sorry, that headline is a bit misleading. You’re not actually invited to the night owl slumber party. But some Badoo friends are. Lucky kids. You can tag alone virtually if you like? The Badoo is turning eight, if you can believe that. She wants to replicate her older sister’s (un)slumber party, but we’re not sure if…

When I posted the invitations to Lottie’s fashion palooza, I mentioned that I was struggling with the whole concept of a ‘fashion’ party for a six year old. And only just-turned six at that! I thought long and hard about how to pull off a party that was suitably grown-up in Badoo’s eyes, but not…
DIY Flower garden party invitations
On Sunday, Cappers and I had a lovely time making the invitations for her 8th birthday party. She’s asked for a ‘flower garden party’ so we made tissue paper flower invites to spread the party word. I found the idea at inchmark. I confess that I’m rather thrilled to be putting together a flower garden…
A very merry unslumber party
It’s true that I am something of a mad woman, but even I knew that having an unslumber party for a seven year old’s birthday party was a little bit nuts. Especially when certain circumstances conspire to mean you will be running said slumber party after just 3 hours sleep the night before. In our defence,…
