A Fireman-Themed 3rd Birthday

‘911, what’s your emergency?’ ‘We’ve got a cuteness overload happening over here!’

Marco celebrated his third birthday in spectacular fashion with a fireman themed birthday party at The Joinery in Brisbane.

Marco’s mother Penny says, ‘the firefighter theme was specifically requested by the birthday boy Marco who is obsessed with all things relating to firemen—fire trucks, firefighters, hoses and fireman poles. Fireman Sam is to blame for this!’

The event was hosted by two ‘fire captains’, with little partygoers enjoying a fire engine jumping castle, DIY fire engine craft station, and games such as ‘Ring of Fire’, ‘Fire Engine Races’, Tug-of-War, a piñata, and ‘Extinguish the Burning House’ throwing game.

The invitation stipulated dress ‘code red’, asking firefighters, police officers, doctors, and nurses to prepare for a ‘red hot’ party.

The event styling was bold, clean and contemporary. With such an expansive space to work with, larger key styled areas were used to create focus and impact.

Key features were the cake and dessert table with ‘flaming’ suspended streamer backdrop, which created height and drama. Another key feature was the children’s seating with individual helium balloons to lift table, the letter ‘M’ illuminated feature wall to draw attention to the rear lounge area, and the fire engine jumping castle to really bolster the theme.

And the best moment of the day? Penny says, ‘Seeing Marco light up (not literally) when he saw the room all set and complete with Fire Engine Jumping Castle. He stayed in the castle long after the guests had left!’ Blog_Celebrations_Marcos3rdBirthday_58
