Leo and the Transfourmers

My son, Leo, had been into Transformers, especially Optimus Prime, for a year, and it was no surprise that it was the theme he wanted for his party. The Trans'four'mer party planning began!

I wanted to modernise the usual red and blue colour scheme by bringing in an industrial vibe, whilst still allowing the kids to recognise the popular theme.

To start off, Invites by Veasna Chea created an amazing banner backdrop drop with a 3D effect. From there, a silver, grey and black balloon garland was added to frame the whole set up.

I wanted the kids to be able to "walk" into the set

up and take pictures. To help with this, I brought in fun elements such as the toolbox filled with themed chocolate bars and chains so they could have a play. The look was completed by some chunky tyres and concrete look plinths.

The cake, created by Chaos and Couture featured a wrap-around design. It fit in with the vibe perfectly.

Despite being unable to source an actual Transformers jumping castle, the team at Bouncing Giggles and Play Hire were able to provide a red and blue one to bring the fun as well as match the theme.
