party for A.

A. is turning 4 next week and we are throwing a party for her. Last three years we had smaller family parties or bigger barbecues, but it was more for us really. As she started preschool this year she can invite more friends and have proper kids fun. I really want to make it special for her so I have been thinking about themes and decorations. And in the end there won't any  theme as she had hard time to decide between pirates or fairies, I will stick to loads of entreating bits and pieces, and have fun with decorations. 

I collected these images to be inspired by colours, which is going to be yellow, pale pink, bluey greeny colours. There is so many great ideas out there and if only I had more time, I would love make those lolly invitations, bake cloud shaped cookies, make cakes ...the list would go on. 

So far I made these invitations (the last photo) and thinking about presents. Any recommendations for 4 year old girl? she is not massively into dolls, she loves creating, painting, drawing, climbing trees, reading and swimming.
