Lily’s ‘One in a Melon’ 9th Birthday
Thursday, November 26th, 2015 | By Emily Coates
Lily’s ‘One in a melon’ themed birthday party was certainly a sweet affair! Planned and styled by her ever-so-talented mother, Claire Collected, Lily enjoyed a special day with her friends inspired by her fave fruit—the watermelon!
‘What started with Lily’s love of all things watermelon turned into a whole lot of DIY crafting craziness, and I have to admit, the lead up was just as much fun as the actual party!’ says Claire.
Claire organised a party jam-packed with activities for the little partygoers to enjoy, including craft, swimming, piñata and food. Lily and her friends decorated their own watermelon-inspired t-shirts, which also served as a cute party favour.
‘The t-shirt painting filled in more than a whole hour. They even kept dashing back to add more glitter and finishing touches throughout the afternoon. And the creativity from the girls was just delightful! Not one t-shirt was the same’ says Claire.
