Jake and the Neverland Pirates 1st Birthday Party

[Another Late post] I would definitely take advantage of this 'time' that I am having right now.  Writing would seem to be the best thing to do :)

March 2015 was crayyyyzy! I had 3 events in two weeks! It was the peek of EllesMom and I was so excited.

This blog entry would be my 3rd event for the month of March, but in total fairness to Mommy L, she booked EllesMom way back in December, so I guess it made my life a little bit easier coz I have way a lot of time to prepare. As you know, this is not my day job :) and yes I am a mother of 2 :) and a wife to 1 :)

So when I was browsing the photos of the party details I will feature, I got excited all over again.   I am widely grinning :) Without writing any further, brace yourselves with our entry today : Jake and the Neverland Pirates party!!!

I will begin with the most adorable details of the party as I enlist:

• the theme itself - I was so hooked! Not only that I enjoy every single detail that I orchestrate digitally - enjoyed playing with the images of Jake, Izzy and Cobby, but when I went to Party centre to organise my thoughts and materials - there were tons of items and paraphernalia related to this theme, like hello, peeeerfect!!!!

• i love how the rustic yet childish and playful atmosphere correlate with each other. The mix of wood, earth colours and bright solid colours were just right.

• the special treasure chest that adds that pirate-feel

• the celebrant's name in blocked pirate letters

• generous party favours and give-aways

• customised Jake Outfit of the celebrant that was just really awesome

The theme was actually decided by the Mommy, and she was ready to go all the way to the top :) just to make everything perfect and fit for her adorable son. I am also glad that she trusts me well to make this party a reality :) Jake and the Neverland Pirates theme is fun to put together. The resources are way within our reach and don't need more of online purchases, its pretty much available here in our region, so we got everything we need right here!

Party Centre make sure they stock up, from party decorations, loot bag items, balloons, treasure chests, and anything pirate, they have on-stock during that time.

Jake and the Neverland Cake Table Styled by EllesMom

I have incorporated a little of rustic in the styling by using wooden crates to hold the cake and cupcakes. While the Disney series would have Bucky and Johnny Rogers as the pirates' ships, I have added some traditional ships to the table to complete the pirate look.

Another feature on the cake table is the Treasure Chest that actually holds gold chocolate coins, chocolate rocks and fancy gems and stones. There were also seashells and chocolate rocks all round the desserts. Chocolate bars like gold bars for pirates. Cheese crackers for Skully bird are also there for munching. And of course, what's a pirate ship without cannon balls.
