It seems that there is always a circus at our house, but never more so than when we recently celebrated two of our granddaughters' birthdays with one party. Their circus-themed party is my contribution to this week's Tablescape Thursday sponsored by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.
The birthday girls' Dad took photos of the guests as they poked their heads through the circus themed picture cloth. The pictures were printed and put inside a magnetic circus tent frame for each guest to take home.
Party guests received a ticket when they played a game. They used their tickets to go inside the tent to pick out their party favors. We didn't think about how difficult it is for a 6 year old to make up their mind until the line to the tent got long, and we realized how long one of the party guests had been in there trying to make up her mind! Of course, they each had enough tickets to "buy" one of each thing in the tent!

A good time was had by all, but I'm still finding popcorn on the floor!

ReplyDeleteHi Laurie,
ReplyDeleteJust stopping back by to say how much I love this and to wish you a wonderful week-end~ After this awesome party I think you deserve a rest! Hugs,Cindy
Laurie I so wish I had a grand mother like you!! Wouldn't life have been a circus if I had! What a fun filled party!! What will you do next year to outdo this great time!!?
ReplyDeleteI missed a few of your posts- we have been so busy this week with family and guests in then we also started Sunday services in Aguilar, a small town we have been ministering in for the past year (ministering in a sneaky way- chat and coffee and bread distribution- now they want services!).
So fun that you could visit with Sarah!! What a sweetie to bring a picnic and desserts!
The rebus idea sounds fun - I love reading and trying to figure yours out. don't know if I would have alot of time to come up with ones (not very creative in the rebus dept I don't think!) but keep them coming. THey stretch my brain and hopefully will keep Alzheimers at bay for a few more years!
So enjoy you and your wonderful blog!

Hi Laurie...what a fabulous party! Fun, fun, fun! :-) LOL...love your clown costume! :-)I hear rainbow hair is going to be BIG next year! (He, hee.)
ReplyDeleteLaurie, this is just too cute! I can't believe that I missed this on Thursday! You definitely did a great job planning this, wanna plan my next bday party?!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Pics. Looks like way too much fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie,
ReplyDeleteYour pink nose is so becoming! Makes you look so healthy - like you just got off the ski slopes !
Everyone looks like they are having fun.
Laurie, you look so cute, and the party looks like so much fun! You need to be an event planner, you are so talented, and creative! Love Ya! Connie
ReplyDeleteLove the idea Laurie and the actual party too! The vibrant colors, the happy kids, and very very happy birthday celebrants I'm sure. And the tent with tickets! Genius I say :-)
ReplyDeleteLi
Oh how fun!!! This will be a party that will be remembered by everyone. And your mosaics are as fantastic as ever!
ReplyDeletehugs, Sue
It must be Heaven to have you for a grandmother!
ReplyDeleteLaurie - come on over to my blog and see what you've won! I'll need your address and color choice so I can send it merrily on it's way!
ReplyDeleteLaurie... looks like you and I were both in the "birthday" theme this week... but no, I did not have a clown suit!
ReplyDeleteI finally got my pink post up, so come back by and see the Panda's pink birthday.
hugs. Dixie
I can tell that everyone enjoyed themselves. Your theme is so well executed and the bright colors so appealing! You know, it's funny when you throw a party and then months later you find an odd reminder, such as a cocktail napkin or in your case popcorn, of all the fun you had!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Stan
Wow! The theme looks awesome and like so much fun! Your attention to detail is amazing - I bet she had the best day! You should definitely share your ideas and photos with The Creative Party Place blog if you haven't already!
ReplyDeleteRoeshel

Well this seals it! You are the most wonderful person/Grandma of all time! You look so cute, and I can't imagine anything more creative and fun! I sure wish we lived close to each other..but I am afraid you might really get sick of me hanging out at your house all of the time. Love, Cindy
