confetti themed surprise partyMy sweet niece Keadryn is an event planner in the making- I love hearing her creative, detailed, oh-so-elaborate party ideas. My kids and Jord’s kids all LOVE parties, but out of our combined broods, hands down, Keadryn loves them most.

confetti partyA couple months ago, Kead saw a show about a surprise party. Right afterwards (and several times since), she told Jord, “I hope sometime in my life everyone jumps out and yells, ‘SURPRISE,’ for me!”

Since the Remkes trip home to the States was moved up by a couple weeks because of, ahem, other people’s move-to-Saipan schedules, Keadryn was slated to be in Denver the day after her seventh birthday. The timing, her lo-ove for parties, and her recent fascination with surprise parties were a match made in party planning heaven.

confetti partyInstead of choosing a ‘theme,’ we just decided to make everything colorful, bright, and covered in confetti. Because nothing says “SURPRISE” like piles of polka dots and teeny shreds of tissue paper.

confetti party labels and signsThe happy signage matched the confetti-filled, surprise party vibe!

confetti party favorsThe “Confetti Shoppe” (aka wall of favors) was quite the hit as well- the girls loved their sequined, confetti-esque tutus and white tank tops and Burke really digs his polka dot pocket tee (he wears it a ton here in Saipan!).

  1. SUCH a fun party! And Josie asks to wear her tutu regularly. There’s lots of “on” and “self” going around as she pulls it out of the toy bin and tries to pull it on herself. So fun we got to celebrate Kead like this!

    1. Awww, LOVE her. So much. Wish we were hanging out with her as she wears that tutu!
      And YES, so fun to celebrate Kead together. 🙂

  2. Stop it! Hands down, greatest party ever! And I absolutely love the last picture. The cousin goodness melts my heart.

    1. Dayna, you’re always so sweet! I do love this party theme, plus, it’s so easy to pull off (we didn’t start working on party stuff until a couple days before!). And cousin goodness- love it right there with you. 😉

          1. I’m obsessed with this font! I’ve done a ton of searches and can’t figure it out. Lol. What is it please?
