3 WEEKS OUT

Gather your supplies

• Visit supermarkets and party stores to find the perfect supplies to serve the young guests.
• Try to stick to a colour scheme for things that will be on the table, like these straws and a wire basket to keep party favours in.

2 WEEKS OUT

Get the décor ready

• There are not many party goods with clouds and raindrop designs available in stores, but it is easy to make your own.
• Use coloured pipe cleaners and bend them into raindrop shape- perfect to hang from the ceiling.
• You could also cut raindrop  and cloud shapes out of felt and stick these onto a canvas and make raindrop cake toppers using some coloured paper and sosatie sticks.

1 WEEK OUT

Buy party favours

• Look for sweets and gifts that will help set the scene.
• Colourful Smarties in plastic bags remind us of little raindrops.
• Character umbrellas are an affordable and useful gift for guests; give this instead of a take home goodie bag.

THE DAY BEFORE

Get the food ready

• Never forget the importance of something substantial for little guests to eat. 
• Make cheese and ham sarmies and cut them into cloud or raindrop shapes.
