Rian's Crazy Colorful 7th Birthday Bash!!

So when I asked Rian what kind of theme she wanted her birthday party to be, she told me she wanted a bright rainbow of colors.....well I think I achieved that theme, and I must say I am very proud! I only had a week to put the party together, and now that I am a working momma, it was a little more of a project than I anticipated, but it was well worth it! I didn't get to do every little thing that I wanted, but I am ok with that!
I had seen the idea to do a rainbow cake, so I thought I would attempt that idea with cupcakes! I found just the right food coloring, and this is how my creation turned out!! First time really attempting to decorate cupcakes, but I think they turned out great! I really am hoping for any excuse I can get to do more fun things like this!
I made all of the tissue paper poms, there were a lot more, but they ended up being hung in other places for the party so you cant really get the full picture, but at least you get the idea!
I also made the Happy Birthday banner, and the banner with Rian's name!
And of course I saved the best for last! I decided to go all out for Rian's outfit, so I made this crazy colorful tutu with colors picked out by Rian, and I also made her t-shirt! I found so many great ideas from all the wonderful blogs out there, so I decided to attempt making my own things instead of buying them, and I am so proud of how it all turned out!!
I think she was pretty happy with how it all turned out, what do you think?!
HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY RI!!!
