Hugmyndir að þemum

Áður en þú byrjar á skipulagningu afmælisveislunnar mælir Clara með að þú ákveðir þema. Anna og Clara njóta þess að sjá andlit barnanna uppljómast af gleði þegar verið er að undirbúa eitthvað skemmtilegt. Það eru margvísleg þemu sem hægt er að fletta inn í veisluhöldin. Gott er að velja þema sem tengist áhugasviði afmælisbarnsins.
Systurnar hafa slegið upp barnaafmælsveislum með alls konar þemum, eins og riddaraþema, kirsuberjaþema, sirkusþema og frumskógarþema. Einnig er hægt að velja þemu sem tengjast íþróttum, sjóræningjum og risaeðlum svo eitthvað sé nefnt.

"Möguleikarnir eru óendanlegir," segir Anna og brosir. "Mikilvægast er að byggja það á einhverju sem afmælisbarnið er hrifið af." Þú getur líka skipulagt dásamlega veislu sem byggir á uppáhaldslit barnsins minna systurnar á.

Clara mælir með að hafa árstíðina í huga þegar barnaafmæli er skipulagt. Strandþema eða íþróttaþema með útileikjum eru tilvalið fyrir veislur haldnar að sumarlagi. Kaldir og blautir dagar eða vetrardagar bjóða upp á kvikmyndaþema eða vetrarþema með heitu súkkulaði og bollakökum sem skreyttar eru með snjókornum. "Það er líka í fínu lagi að skipuleggja veislur með sumarþema um vetur eða vetrarþema að sumarlagi," segir Anna brosandi.

A few years back, Anna and Clara planned an afternoon tea party to celebrate the niece’s birthday. For the festivities, the sisters had set small tables in the garden with beautiful white tablecloths, a wonderful tea set and exquisite treats. For the theme, the sisters had arranged fun games, like the memory game. The object of the game is to say, "When I was having tea with the Queen, I met ...", after which the next player in the circle must repeat the phrase and add a person to it. The game continues until everyone has added someone to the phrase. "The challenge is to repeat the phrase without leaving anything out,” Clara explains. “It happens sometimes,” says Anna with a smile. "But then the turn simply goes to the next player."
