Celebrating turning seven – Beckham style!

Celebrating turning seven – Beckham style!

On Saturday we had a lovely party for Master almost 7 (he will actually turn 7 on Friday). The weather has been terrible in Melbourne over the last few weeks and I was very nervous about having his party outside. The Friday was beautiful – sunny, warm and perfect. When we woke up Saturday it was cold, cloudy and windy. Oh dear! (and then by the afternoon it was sunny again – typical Melbourne!).

The table isn’t quite as decorated to my usual standards – everything kept blowing away.

You can see my inspiration blog post from last week here.

Some of the details below:

• mini soccer goal from eBay
• balloons from a local party shop in Melbourne
• Paper Eskimo black and white striped baking cups from The Party Parlour
• Green and white striped and spotted candles from Invite Me (purchased on the way to the party and too windy to use!)
• Washi Tape flags made by me with tape from eBay
• Paper party bags from The Party Parlour
• Party bag tags made by me with the Washi Tape and tags from Paper Cotton Love on Craftumi
• Green tablecloth from The Party Parlour – I use these after the party on the table for art time with the kids. Saves the messes!
• Black and white striped tablerunner from The Party Parlour – yes I love this place!
• Oh and cupcakes are baked by me too – I should share my recipe with you. It is a winner.

We hired Shede from Kickstart Soccer and Fitness – a previous Kenyan International Football player and now coach and personal trainer in Melbourne. Best money spent to keep 12 energetic 6 and 7 year olds entertained for nearly an hour!

Here is my little bend it like Beckham – he had so much fun!
