And now for the party pics!
Since there were SO many pictures, I decided to post them smaller. Click on any photo to get the larger, "full," effect :)!Sign hung on the entrance to the halau (thanks Alex!!)Receiving table - each child received a personalized blank notebook with a cupcake fabric crayon roll (made by aunty jo. i made 1/2 of the boy rolls which were not cupcakes...too girly we decided). They also received a snack bag with snacks and a juice box (in large basket to the left of photo)Pupu (appetizer) tableMore arrangements for the pupu table and bar (thanks yvonne!!)Cupcake balloons hung on both sides of the stage which featured a great 5 piece Hawaiian band, hired at the last minute since our original plan fell through. Thanks so much to Jared for helping us out!Carnation cupcake centerpieces!The small fuchsia cups had the cupcake pops in them. Thanks to Kamalei there was lots and lots and lots of cupcake confetti that she punched out for me.Cupcake Tower - I started it and Kamalei fixed it up and made all the cupcake covers for me. I found them on etsy, but didn't want to buy them. I felt sure I could make them but ran out of time. K took the lead and made them all the night before the party. She actually made the cupcakes for me too since I was bound to be up all night baking along with everything else I had to do. I made homemade buttercream frosting the next morning and she frosted them on site. My mom made the great lime green and white polka dot table cloth (with a fuchsia border!) with fabric that I had bought. Another thing I had intended to do, but would have run out of time. Thanks mom!
We hired the best Balloon shape company for the kids. Balloon Monsoon can make anything. When I asked for a cupcake, I expected a 1 dimensional cupcake. Instead they made this great 3 dimensional balloon cupcake. Fabulous!The only pics I have of the girls before my battery died. Makena had a great headband from Kamalei, and Nanea had a matching flower clip complete with crystals. Note Makena's pink tutu that we put on her later with her cupcake onesie. I'm hoping that SOMEONE has a photo of that! If I get one, I'll be sure to post it.It was a fun party and went by too quickly. Food was excellent, fabulous friends and family. Couldn't ask for a better baby luau!...and that's all folks :)!
