Autumn Clemons created this adorable unique party for her daughters 8th birthday by paying homage to Asia. Autumn describes the party, "I threw a Chinese-themed birthday party for my eight year old daughter. Colors were fuschia, black, gold and chartreuse. Chinese lanterns were hung in a large cluster over the table. Candy-dipped fortune cookies, rice-krispy sushi and a simple adorned cake were some of the party yummies. Gifts bags were asian brocade purses with bamboo handles filled with goodies. A homemade pinata in the shape of a chinese-take out box was filled with candy and fortune cookies." Check out Autumn's blog My Design Dump for more photos and inspiration 
Said Autumn, "I used an online translator for the Chinese characters, so I'm hoping it really does say "yummy" and not something crazy like "i like to swim in garbage" 
fortune cookies dipped in candy melts with sprinkles. 
Water bottle labels - It's great to be 8! 
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this - rice krispy "sushi". Sushi made from rice krispy treats, colored licorice and fruit roll-ups. 
Brocade purses used as goodie bags -purchased from Target long ago....

ReplyDeleteVery Amy Atlas-esque. Love it!
ReplyDeleteBeing her sister-in-law I was lucky enough to be present at that party and the pictures don't do it justice! Autumn has the most brilliant mind to think of such creative things but more importantly she has the talent and know how to pull it all together and make it a success! It was so cool and the little girls were jumping up and down with excitement over everything! Well done Autumn!:)
