Carnival Theme Red Black Candy Topiary Tree for First Birthday Party | Sweet Event Design.

Look at this adorable Carnival Theme Candy Topiary created for a big top theme first birthday party.  Covered in candies and filled full of treats, who wouldn’t just love this sweet centerpiece.

Candy creations by Sweet Event Design are a wonderful one-of-a-kind way to surprise someone special or set a spectacular scene for your celebration.  They custom design candy topiaries, bouquets, baskets and favors to fit all occasions.  From birthdays to bridal and baby showers, they can make something magical to match your theme and colors.

Glass jars full of pink candies filled the candy buffet table.   The kids all really loved the candy bar!   The custom pink rosette table overlays were simply beautiful and really gave the room a pretty feel.   Lollipop signs were personalized with the birthday girls name and birthday as well as adorable labels for the treat bags.  The pink dotted cupcakes were created by Georgetown Cupcakes and were absolutely delicious!

I love the huge pink balloons we used in the corners of the room.  Sheer pink ribbon and fancy dotted ribbon strung from the balloons really made them look beautiful.

Pink tissue poms in ribbon wrapped boxes were used for the centerpieces.  Custom printed place cards displayed each guests name and matched the invitation (coming soon!).  Pink bubbles with personalized labels for party favors.   I found a pretty little pink polka dot tutu for the birthday girl that matched everything.

Guests sipped on swanky pink signature drinks—Pink Kiss martinis for the adults, and Cotton Candy Fizz for the kids, topped with puffs of cotton candy and pink dotted straws.

A rented rec center gymnasium gave us ample space to really spread out the games.  I decorated round tables with primary color tablecloths, and centerpieces with stacked boxes and signs with the birthday boys party logo design.   I layered white plates over larger red, blue, and green plates for the settings and scattered the tables with gold trophies and medals.

The snack table (labeled the refueling station) featured lots of goodies for the kids to munch on.  Bowls of trail mix, pretzels, and goldfish were Gold Medal Goodies.  Ice cream cones with popcorn were Competitors Crunch.  I made little labels for the water bottles also.

The party started with Registration.   I designed t shirts with the birthday boys name in the Olympic rings and “2012 Birthday Challenge.”  Each guest got a t shirt and then we assigned them to a team (red, blue, or green) and gave them a nametag.  After everyone was in uniform we introduced the coaches for each team.

Each team had to complete a list of challenges:  Long Jump, Discus Throw, 40 Yard Dash, Ribbon Twirling, Goal for the Gold and finally Bob Sled.  We took the highest score or best time and posted the winning team for each competition on a scoreboard.

We ended the party with an Awards Ceremony.  Each child was given a medal, a trophy and a certificate.   The party was a big hit and everyone really loved all the challenges.   Plus, it was so much fun watching the kids really get into some of the games, working together to create a ribbon twirling routine or keep their teammate on the “bobsled”—skateboard! Lol!

I used jewel tone fabrics to cover the table and our princess china set.  Small colored bottles, gold bowls and boxes down the center with shimmering foil paper, a genies lamp and maracas.  I created the centerpiece with the birthday girls name and clip-art I found online.

We decorated jewelry boxes with sparkly jewels and rhinestones and then painted faces. Tea (chocolate milk) was served and the girls all looked simply adorable sipping from their fancy cups.
