Aloha! - Hawaii Birthday Party
[Scroll down to the end for the English text.]
Aloha!
Wir haben am Wochenende den 10. Geburtstag meiner Tochter wie eine Hawaii Party gefeiert und Ihr seid eingeladen, Euch umzuschauen und zu inspirieren!
Da wir einen dunkelbraunen Tisch haben, dessen Farbe ich für diese Gelegenheit nicht so passend fand, habe ich ihn mit Geschenkpapier in Türkis überzogen (die Ränder mit Washi Tape unter dem Tisch geklebt) und mit Muscheln, Ananas und Kokosnuss dekoriert. Zu Essen gab's dann Toast Hawaii und knusprige Hähnchenkeulen (wie ein Schnitzel vorbereitet: erst Mehl, dann Ei mit Teriyaki-Soße und Honig, dann Paniermehl mit Kokosraspel und Cornflakes), später Obstsalat und zu Trinken Ananas-Pfirsich-Orange-Grenadine-Cocktails.
Ah ja, die Mitgebsel-Tüte bzw. ein Goodiebag, weil ich das Wort "Mitgebsel" nicht mag: auch eine Ananas, diesmal aus Kraftpapier bzw. Packpapier mit Washi Tape. Mehr dazu aber am Freitag.
Kennt Ihr schon "meine" anderen Kindergeburtstagspartys? Hier geht's zu Alice im Wunderland und hier zum Planes / Flugzeug / Flughafen-Geburtstag entlang!

We celebrated our daughters 10th birthday like a Luau - a Hawaiian party - last weekend and you are invited to look around and get inspired!
Let's start with the invitations: I cut and painted each of them by hand and printed the back side with the details. It was quite a job, my daughter invited 11 girls!
I prepared some picks for the birthday table with fitting patterns: flamingo, pineapple, watermelon, hibiscus and frangipani.
Fold a piece of pink paper like in the picture, draw a flamingo body on it, cut the paper along the green line, put the two pieces on top of each other and cut along the drawing. Stick one pink paper to the paper wire and to the toothpick, then the other one like wings (only in the middle). For the pineapple, cut two ovals out of yellow paper and draw green lines on them. Cut / fray a green piece of paper, fold it and stick it together with a toothpick between the two yellow parts. The watermelon is a little trickier. Cut a ring out of green paper and a red circle, which has to be a little bigger than the inner circle of the green ring. Repeat: you'll need four "slices" in total. Stick red on green, draw some seeds and sew all four slices together. Stick in a toothpick. The flowers are easy: cut five-petal flowers, put it on the toothpick and stick a little punched flower on the middle, so that the tip of the toothpick is covered.
Since I think one does not have to "entertain" ten years old kids as much as six year old, I only prepared one crafting action for the kids. During the rest of the time they unpacked presents, ate, danced (limbo), played and had fun. I punched the cover sheet of some colorful notebooks with an awl using Hawaiian / tropical motifs and the kids stitched them with thread.
We have a dark brown table which I thought won't fit the party theme, so I covered it with turquoise wrapping paper. I decorated the table with shells, pineapple and coconut. We had pineapple-peach-orange-grenadine cocktails to drink and toast Hawaii and crunchy chicken drumsticks to eat (prepare like a schnitzel:first put in flour, then in egg with teriyaki sauce and some honey, then in breadcrumbs with coconut grates and some corn flakes and cook well in a pan with oil).
At the end we had the cake: a Tiki-bar-island-with-palm-tree-and jetty birthday cake which my daughter just loved! Inside was a chocolate-marzipan cake, on the outside it was decorated with brown sugar and plumeria made of royal icing / fudge. The palm tree (without the leafs) and the sea were also made of icing / fudge.
I'll show you on Friday how I built the Tiki bar and crafted the invitations and the favor bags (also a pineapple, this time made of craft wrapping brown paper with washi tape). Have a great week and come by on Friday to see all the crafting details!
