We’ve done a red version, and now here’s a PINK one! There’s no denying how popular Hello Kitty is among kids and parents.  Here are some snapshots of our setup that will hopefully tickle you pink and ignite dreams of frilly fantasies.

Kiddie umbrellas were used as part of the centerpieces, with cute polka dot and floral prints in our linens.

Let them eat cake too! I can hear everyone say “KAWAII!” :)  Cake by Olive Chan.

Here are some fun facts about Hello Kitty that I read on the internet:

a. Her original name was supposed to be “White Kitty” (from one of the cats that Alice kept in the book Through the Looking Glass).

b. Hello Kitty is not single. Her boyfriend’s name is “Dear Daniel”. :)

c. She has 2 pets:  a little cat named “Charmmy Kitty” (yes, with a double “m”) and a hamster named “Sugar”.  Charmmy Kitty was given to her by her grandfather, George White, while Sugar came from Dear Daniel.

d. Hello Kitty is a girl of substance too! She’s not just all about being cute and pretty.  Since 1983, she has held the position as the U.S. Children’s Ambassador for UNICEF. :)

MEOW! 

The classic red and blue Hello Kitty was the theme for baby girl Olivia’s 1st birthday.  Her mom picked that theme since she said Olivia looked like Hello Kitty whenever she would smile, and I had to agree with her after meeting the sweet angel! 

The old-school illustrations of this popular Sanrio character were refreshing to see again, especially nowadays when Hello Kitty seems to have shed the reds and the blues, and donned everything pink in its myriad shades.

Come and see how Hello Kitty brought Olivia and her guests to a “happy picnic land” for a fun birthday afternoon :)

Red and white checkered table linens really “picni-fied” the space.  The white foldable garden chairs added so much appeal too.

See the kiddie stools below which were the party giveaways for the kids featuring Hello Kitty and her cute boyfriend :) I love the bow-tie detail! So adorable.

We also gave out picnic baskets to the kiddies with bottled water, milk, cookies, and a red apple.

Red paper pompom centerpieces with daisies in a basket! Plus, care for some fresh milk and cookies? YUM! Mommy provided these afternoon treats.

Here’s our dessert table :)

I don’t really use much balloons when I decorate, but I can’t deny how appealing they are to kids :)  They are happiness on sticks (or strings)!
