Happy NOON Year!!
Most kiddos can't hang to the wee hours of midnight to ring in the new year so why not have a NOON Year's Eve Party for the littles instead! Include all the fun of a New Year's Eve party like noise makers, festive party hats, yummy kid approved food and drinks as well of lots of fun games and activities. Instead of ending the party with a count down, kick off the party with a super fun countdown at NOON!
I decided on a colorfully whimsical color palette with hints of gold for added glam!
Nothing says festive and fun like a fabulous balloon backdrop!
To create this look, I first hung a fun ruffled backdrop behind my table.(It's actually a shower curtain.) I then created my balloon arch using black and white balloons. I also tucked in some white tissue flowers for added texture. Stick pins, twine and a low temp glue gun are your tools for this display.
Finally, I hung the sweetest "Let's Party" banner across the center.
The desserts were a festive collection of chocolate covered Oreos, chocolate cupcakes, marshmallow pops and a yummy powdered doughnut tower. The centerpiece of the table is the multi colored number candles for the perfect countdown! Just before the clock strikes noon, light the candles and have the kiddos blow them out one by one! They will love it!
The tabletop was whimsical and fun, starting with a white tablecloth topped with a wide black and white striped runner and finally a thinner gold sequined runner down the center of that. Using the adorable party hats down the center made for a super fun yet super simple display! Each place setting was made up of a gold plate topped with a whimsical color wheel plate, topped by a cute clock dessert plate and finished with a darling little "Ring Pop" favor box. The milk glasses had festively sugared rims and black and white striped straws! And finally, no NOON Year's Eve Party would be complete without a party horn!

There were so many super simple details in this party, like the tassels on the back of the chairs or the rainbow tissue tassel garland across the beverage cart... It's all in the details!!
Now, to keep these kiddos entertained....
How about a "Make your own SLIME Station", perhaps a game or two of TWISTER and to finish off the day, a New Year's Resolution Station!
That one's as simple as some pens and sticky notes and perhaps a white board to attach them to!
