I am a big fan of the Sound of Music. I love the whimsy, the catchy tunes, and the nostalgia that that era brings. So when we were asked to lend a helping hand with doing an invite for a Sound of Music party we were totally stoked!
Diya was absolutely in love with the movie The Sound of Music. So of course the theme centered around that. To account for the guests that weren't familiar with the movie, the family decided to make it a celebration of music (hence music notes and guitars) with a bit of Sound of Music thrown in.
In our help with the invite, we decided to create a concert ticket. From the bar code to the guitar to 5 going on 6, it wrapped up all of the details in a pretty VIP bow!
Then she also wanted a "fingerprint" for the party to tie everything together (food, favor bags, and the like). Using the invite as the jumping off point, we focused on the guitar (as the party had a music teacher led sing-a-long). Sound of Music lyrics, dots, and the like helped it to come together nicely.
We also encouraged her to use picnic baskets (those kids were always picnicking!) to hold food, green fabric on the floor in the eating area (grass of course), with low seating and Do Re Me suspended from the ceiling.
I am so glad that we got a chance to revisit an old favorite and introduce it to other little ones who will love it just as much as us!
