Rainbow Birthday Party… Oh my!
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Ahh, that song holds a special place in our family’s heart for a few different reason, and I love it so!
Every year right toward the end of June we come across a beautiful event.  My sweet baby girl’s half birthday!  Yes, I’m one of those Moms.  With a birthday the day before New Years Eve, it makes for difficult time for this mom to plan a party and actually have her friends in town and so many presents at once, shall I go on?  In any case, we do half birthdays!  This year we went with a Rainbow theme.  It turned out to be such a fun theme with of course bright colors and so much to work with.  DNH Girl asked for the rainbow theme just about a month prior to the party, so it did give a bit of time to scope out a couple place around town.  We ended up finding most of the supplies at Target and Party City, but also peppered in a little DNH creativity along the way.
Desire from Crafting While They Nap made the adorable rainbow dress.
Free Rainbow “Happy Birthday” Printable from Printabelle. Â Colored Gatorade in plastic straw cups from dollar store were a BIG hit with the kids!
Disaster of a rainbow cake. Â I’m clearly no baker, but the kids were excited when we cut into it to find all the different colors.
Rainbow Bucket Ball Toss.  Easy to make and super inexpensive 
Rainbow Punch Pinata. Â Instructions found here
Seeing this smile on my babes face – priceless!

You are so seriously creative! I LOVE it!! You’re planning my next birthday party!
What a fun theme! My daughter would love a monthly bday party. lol
Adorable overload. Love it.
Love her dress!
It’s all beautiful! And that smile on your daughter’s face means it was a success. Great job, mom.
Half-birthdays are wonderful ideas. When of my girlfriends still talks about her birthday presents being wrapped in Christmas paper – her birthday is December 26th. When her mom came up with the half-birthday idea a few years ago she was ecstatic and in her 40’s. Also love your rainbow theme and what a cute dress.
This is so beautiful! Very cute 🙂 And a great idea too. Have a wonderful SITS day 🙂
What an adorable party idea! Two of my kids have winter birthdays so we used to give them the option of doing something in the summer instead if they wanted, when they were little.
This is an absolutely GORGEOUS party. LOVE.
Wow! That is a fabulous party. I am always so jealous of you girl Mommies that can throw these awesome colorful birthday parties! With a boy, I’m afraid I’m doomed to a lifetime of Superheroes and Star Wars! Happy SITS day!
[…] Rainbow Half Birthday […]
That is insanely creative and wonderful. Some of my daughter’s school friend celebrate half birthdays because the B-Days fall in the summer. I think it’s a neat idea especially if a birthday falls on or close to another major holiday or event. Happy SITS day!
love the idea of a half birthday…but perhaps we’ll just do a dinner of his choice. YOU ARE SUPER CREATIVE BABE…WOW!
HAPPY SITS DAY
I think the decorations are great and would work for many ages. Sorry about the necessity of a half birthday. The rainbow fruit tray is a great and doable idea. Enjoy your Flash SITS Day.
That looks like a great party! I love all the bright colors!
I love love this! So colorful! Happy Feature day! Hopeyou are getting lots of comment love. Following as of now!!
Great ideas!! I’ll be sharing them with my sister who is currently planning for my nephew’s birthday party.
So cool! Everything looks amazing – I’m not anywhere close to that creative…but I have been thinking about the possibility of celebrating half birthdays for my son (almost a Christmas baby) once he’s a little older – thanks for the reminder!
Love the theme!
Amazing decor and I still love that cake despite whatever went wrong! It looks like your daughter had an amazing time too 🙂
That is just beautiful! Love it! happy SITS day, late 😉
Wow! What an amazing party!! That looks better then some of the adult ones I’ve attended:-) I really love the simplicity of most of it – it’s really the WAY you put everything together. Great pictures…and your daughter is adorable!!
So adorable!! I should do half birthdays too. My youngest is 3 days before Christmas
What a great idea! I am a July baby…but, I def see the beauty in this for a child! Great mother! xoxo
