Soccer Bunting GIVEAWAY!

If you remember a few weeks back to HERE the Giggleberry household celebrated Master Giggleberry's 2nd birthday with a fun green, black and white soccer themed party. Now being a Giggleberry family party of course there was a bunch of Gigglebery bunting hanging around on party day - 3 sets in fact, made from these funky soccer fabrics.


These very same banners were pulled down at the end of the party and have been sitting in my fabric cupboard ever since, practically brand new! Now Master Giggleberry's bedroom is decorated in a pirate/nautical theme so soccer banners don't work there so every time I see them sitting in my cupboard, unused, I can't help but think there must be a little soccer fan out there who would LOVE them hanging in his room, or maybe another soccer party is brewing in someone's mind that needs decorations or maybe even a soccer team who could use these for a bit of team spirit on game day.... so I'm giving them away!!


To spread the love a little, I'll split them into two prizes. First winner randomly chosen will get 2x 13 flag banners & second winner that is randomly chosen will win 1x 10 flag banner.
To be in the running to win all you need to do is leave a comment on this post telling me how the banner/s would be used if you were to win - Easy!!
For more chances to win: 1) 'Follow' this blog then leave a separate comment to let me know. 2) 'Like' Giggleberry on facebook HERE then leave a separate comment to let me know. 3) 'Follow' Giggleberry on Twitter HERE then leave a separate comment to let me know.

Entries open to Australian residents only, sorry. The 2 winners will be chosen using random.org and announced on Friday 1st of April. Good Luck.

Soccer Party Pics

What a fun day! The weather was perfect and the birthday boy had a blast! I had so much fun putting this all together and had lots of giggles with family as they spotted little details all day.
The kids LOVED the blow up soccer field and Harris has been kicking his balls around in it ever since Mr Giggleberry finished blowing it up (He nearly passed out but it was worth it hehehe)










Happy birthday little man. We LOVE you lots & lots and can't believe it's been 2yrs since you made a screaming entrance into this world!!

Soccer Party - Decorations

Looking good so far for weather predictions for this weekends Soccer Party for my little guys 2nd birthday - Yay! I've spent the past few days getting the decorations together and with glue stick & scissors in hand I have been having a ball (mind the soccer pun).

For our front door to greet guests/soccer fans is a little flag banner I threw together with the birthday boy's name and age. Attach a little bit of soccer ribbon and TaDah:


A few of these balloons, I got on ebay, around the place will put us in party mood


And I just LOVE these party printables from Cake Ink. for the food labels and thank you tags


I had a brain wave hit while sitting on the couch the other night thinking about all things soccer. I wanted something to go above the food table to serve as a 'backdrop' and needed it to be biggish but not too crazy busy and still a bit of fun..... A Scoreboard!!!


A quick trip to the news-agent for some cardboard & dot stickers then an hour playing around while sitting infront of the TV and I'm almost done. I have a few ideas for some finishing touches but otherwise I'm pretty pleased with it. I love that it's personalised - TIME: is Harris' time of birth and the score under HOME: is his age!
all this plus the bunting I made a little while ago and our house should look like a pretty good Harris fan club!!

Soccer Party - Food & Drink.

1 & 1/2 wks till my little man's soccer party so I'm getting my head around what we'll all be eating. The 'normal' thing we do is a good old BBQ so I thought I might do something a little different this time - still simple, but with a bit of a fun twist!
All the food we'll serve will be given new names that I plan to write on these awesome 'Menu Cards' custom made by Cake Ink. To match the invite & theme.


On the menu (so far):
Meatballs - Meaty Soccer Balls
Chicken Wings - Left & Right Wingers
Chipolatas - Star Striker Sausages

Tomato sauce - Red Card Sauce
Mustard - Yellow Card Sauce

I'll also have a few little treats:
Cake Pops (still tossing up if I take on the challenge of making the soccer ball cake pops from my new Bakerella's Cake Pop book or not), popcorn served in THESE cups, Soccer ball foil wrapped chocolates from Sweet As and a few other goodies - oh and of course the cake!!

For kids drinks I have little bottles of water (even found ones with a green lid to match the green, black & white colour theme!!) but to make them even more awesome I bought these super fun Referee Shirt Drink Holders from Polka Dot Market - seriously, how cool are they?!? And the best part is they will double as party favors! Perfect!!


I spotted these plates, cups & serviettes from Spotlight ages ago that I couldn't walk past them. I also couldn't resist one of THESE 'grass look' plastic table covers.


I have been floating blog land for inspiration & ideas on how to pull this all together and hope it looks even half as fab as one of these soccer parties I found:

Soccer Party Planning

Yep, another party!! hehehehe!
This time it's for my little man, Harrison. Harris turns 2 in a few weeks time and is a lover of all things balls - if you can kick it, throw it, whack it, catch it - Harris wants to play with it... So a soccer party was a pretty obvious answer for this years birthday celebrations.


After a little google searching I had an inspiration board thrown together in green, black and white so I sent an email off to Samone from Cake Ink to help me with invites. I LOVE what she came up with and especially love the wording 'Kick Off' for party date & time 'Ground' for address and 'RSVP to Referee Amy' - cute!! (I've edited out the personal details like phone numbers)


I'll let you in on little details of the party planning as the party date gets closer but thought I'd start with the obvious - the bunting!
