“Etching lifelong childhood memories at Elliot’s 5th birthday’”

Birthdays are so important to me. From as early as I can remember, my parents always made my birthdays so incredibly special. Mum would go overboard, showing her love and devotion and creating birthday memories that will live with me forever. She instilled in me a desire to spoil the ones I love, showering them with gifts and happiness on their one big day a year. As a child, birthdays are desperately anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed; the perfect marker of a world filled with excitement and never-ending fun. This is why I was absolutely delighted to curate the celebrations for Elliot’s 5thbirthday. His party oozed with his beloved Ninjago style, from long Japanese-style low tables brimming with themed place settings to the custom-designed Ninjago backdrop I created, which hangs proudly in Elliot’s bedroom today (oh, my heart). Ninja sword training and a warrior obstacle course kept the kids entertained while parents delighted in an oversized cheese board and champagne. As the mini ninjas collapsed in exuberant exhaustion, each took home a personalised gift and photobooth mementos to keep the fire of their memories stoked as their childhood years go by. Happy, happy birthday, Elliot. I loved creating special birthday memories for you.
