On Wednesday we celebrated Goose’s 7th birthday in Japanese Style!
Please indulge, once again as I share too many details. I just know that when I am roaming the web for inspiration for my parties, I like as many details as possible. My name is Emma and I am addicted to kids parties.
Once again, I will break it into a few different posts.
Here are some quick snaps of the food. It was fun to branch out from our usual party fare and try some different things. I was a little nervous the kids wouldn’t eat much of it, but most of it disappeared. Thankfully not all of it though as I always like to make a little extra so that we can have leftovers for dinner that night!
SAVOURY FOOD:
Sushi platter – made by Mr FGB
Delicious rice paper rolls – made by Granny
Rice crackers & dip

Just because she is cute.
- The little flags on the toothpicks said Happy Birthday in Japanese and were free printables from here.
* Deliciously morish chocolate dipped biscuit sticks that can be purchased at Asian supermarkets or sushi bars.
** Purchased at Asian or regular Supermarket. I’ve seen these dipped in melted chocolate & covered in sprinkles and they look very cute. These were the most popular with the kids.
