Chosen as Timeout’s Best Healthy Eats three years in a row, Marmalade Café has come a long way from being one of the first eateries in Kuala Lumpur to promote healthy living through heartwarming, homemade recipes. Marmalade has a menu for every tummy, from generous salads, to hearty meals of homespun pies and lasagnas. 

As mommies with young children, finding a child friendly cafe is on top of our list.
And you know Marmalade does care about families, when there are specially designed children’s areas for your little ones to play and mingle in, as well as a menu consisting of yummy and healthy treats just for kids. 
I wrote about this gem a while back over here.

It's no wonder that the cafe (both the Bangsar & Publika outlet) has become a popular favorite among parents to throw their kids’ birthday parties at.

 

Want a taste of Marmalade?

You're at the right spot!

Party Styling

one of the best part of my job is being able to dabble in what i love.
i got the opportunity to style two simple feature tables with Babylicious PartyinaBox for Covershots.
feature tables make such a nice addition to any parties.

1. makes a good photo backdrop
2. gives your guests some eye candy
3. besides sweets, you can include pictures/photos display & favor bags for guests

i get asked a LOT on party venue suggestions from friends & my blog readers.

i featured this & this a while back.

and, if you've heard of covershots, you'll know them for their beautiful photography and yes, they do welcome parties as well!
its beautiful white studio space overlooking the lakeside is filled with potential.

i love working with white spaces with loads of sunlight as its gives you so much flexibility in planning your decor, plus it's good for photos! a bonus!

whether it's for your child's birthday, anniversary celebration, bridal shower, baby shower or intimate private event, you can now host a party with their recently launched party package at only RM60 per person.

Animal Themed Party

i couldn't quite figure out who was more EXCITED!
me planning the party details or the birthday girl celebrating her big day!

care to join me on my revelry?

 take a peek... what's brewing inside?

last weekend, covershots' studio was transformed into a mini playground plus kids size tables & chairs.

the party was set on an animal theme with fun poppy colors!
i had so much FUN putting the details together especially the fun-loving animal characters.

drawing an image on a computer was no easy feat but bcos i was desperate to have animal characters (which i've been wanting to replicate) for the party, i gave the pencil tool a try on the illustrator software.
first i drew the overall shape..
then the eyes, trunk, tail... then as confidence grew, the other elements that made the character more playful were added in eg balloons, flowers etc.
and slowly but surely everything began to take shape...
i'm sure there's an easier way around it... but as long as the character emerged i was happy (i'm easy to please) ;p

once the characters formed, the rest of the party printables were created..

 invites

 favor tags

 cupcake toppers

 birthday banner at the background

candy boxes 

 mini trolleys with candies

bottled drinks

a photobooth was set up with each kid getting a picture of themselves. photo were printed on the spot.
each kid got a handmade photo card where they inserted their photo and decorate with foam animal cutouts. a wonderful craft activity to keep little ones entertained & occupied.

yummy homemade catering spread... little ones helping themselves to the food..

helium balloons always lends a festive feel to any celebration.

candy bar - for kids to take home candies, cupcakes, snacks & bottled drinks 

- all packed into a takeaway box with their personalized names on it.

found this gems - animal inflatables... just the perfect gifts for the kids to 

take home as a memento of the party.

remember my post on DIY chalkboard... here i recycled a photo frame... spray the chalkpaint & got myself a handsome chalkboard, perfect for the party!

the lip smacking chocolate cake which i didn't managed to get a bite of ;(

 happy roaring 2nd birthday GABBY! 

hope you had loads of fun!

meanwhile...
while everyone else was busy with their share of fun outside, we caught two babes holding their very own play-date-baby-conversation... ahem..with daddies present as chaperons ;)
