Another fourth birthday party and we have a second four year old. How in the world can my middle girl already be 4 !!! years old. She is still exploring and finding out everything. My silly little girl I love so much. She wished for a monkey birthday party cause these are her favorite animals and as you know birthday wishes are my command. I think I delivered pretty good this time. I loved it a lot.
I was a little hesitant about the theme and didn´t have too much hope to find a lot of good stuff cause the most themes were you can find anything monkey was the „Wild One“ theme will all the other safari animals but after a little deep dive down the internet I got a full shopping cart and a calm mind.
Monkey Birthday Party
The Decor
I went with the jungle theme and got lots of green leaves as background for the cake and coffee table. The overall color theme has been hues of green, brown and touches of gold. All of the big sequin table clothes have reused a ton of times throughout the years. They have definitely been worth the money I spent.
Also how else should it be – a huge balloon garland and a ton of monkeys. The singns on the side were also really cool and added some safari vibes. I glued the leaves together as they all came separate and I didn´t want to use a hundred powerstrips and also didn´t want to have hundred needles sticking in my wall. Hot glue was the answer. I had about 15 rows from top to bottom. Was totally manageable and didn´t consume a lot of time.
The Cake
The cake was as amazing as always. All of the decor elements are just gorgeous and so pretty too look at. The leaves and the smiling monkeys and the cute bananas everywhere. She loved her cake so much it was a joy to watch.
My girl requested an all chocolate cake so all of the sponge cake layers and the buttercream inside were chocolate. Very delicious.
The Table Setting
The Outfits
I got us some matching safari clothes. She wore a musselin skirt in a beige hue and a green shirt with her name and a monkey on the front and I got this beige and green paisley dress from H&M a few days prior. It worked out perfectly and looked pretty great. We blended in nicely.
The Kids Table
I didn´t make a separate kids table cause all of her friends are a year older than her and so they could all sit at the big table. I just swapped the gold sequin table cloth for a funny monkey table runner and also had paper plates and cups.
This was just fine and it was easy to clean up as well. I just threw the used ones away.
For all of the birthday parties I am always thinking what to make for the kids but in fact it almost doesn´t matter. Muffins are just fine cause eat some and then go on playing. My girl requested those monkey muffins she saw in a magazing and I just copied them.
I had watermelon slices and fresh cherries for later in the afternoon and little slices of pizza and ice cream for dinner. A total hit and everything was super easy to prepare.
The Goodie Bags
Going to post a seperate reel on Insta regarding the goodie bags. I had everything monkey themed. Those little figurines that will stick to any smooth surface, stickers, a key chain an very cool gree straw with a huge jungle leave and some little wooden animals that can be colored with pens.
