Pastel
Soft mint, peach, lilac and butter yellow, for a gentle and pretty party.
Best for ages 1 to 12
A pastel party is the soft rainbow: mint, peach, lilac, butter yellow and baby blue. It photographs beautifully, suits a first birthday as well as a tenth, and works for boys and girls alike.
Keep the decorating light. A pastel balloon garland and a plain white table with pastel plates are most of it. Macarons or iced biscuits in the same shades double as decorations, and a gentle craft table suits the mood better than a loud game.
