Bubbles, Bubbles Everywhere…Luncheon

"Brandon is Bubbly and Blessed," was the theme for the luncheon that followed his baptism. It turned out to be a beautiful and intimate event, even though it was a very hot summer day in Whittier and all the bubbles appeared to be melting!
Nonetheless, the kids had a wonderful time playing with all the bubbles and enjoyed the bubble themed games:

• Making the biggest bubble
• Bursting the most bubbles
• Pass the bubble (Hot Potato
• Twister Hopscotch (new game friendlier for pre-schoolers)
• Blowing the biggest bubble gum bubble
• Catching bubbles without bursting (science based experiment)

Treats included: chocolate covered Oreos (courtesy of Delilah), Whoppers, Bubble Gum, an array of green and blue candies.

More ideas (found on-line) include:

• Twister (original version)
• Bubble image memory game (collect images available on-line or take your own pictures)
• Bubble art (add food coloring to bubble solution and blow bubbles onto paper)
• Giant bubble making with a kiddie pool and a hoola hoop
• Bubbling drinks (add Pop Rocks candy to lemonade and watch it fizzle)
• Fun with beach balls
• Hiring a Bubble Magician (We've attended a show and they are amazing!)

I enjoyed watching all the children's faces light up with excitement as they entered a bubble filled area (created with a Walmart bubble machine) and as they played with giant bubble wands ($1.00 from Walmart). It was a fun place to be at!

The decor complimented the theme. I was very pleased with how everything came together and created a very festive and whimsical setting. It was very reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, actually more like the Teacup ride at Disneyland.

The decorations included:

• Round paper lanterns
• floral spheres
• Pom-pom flowers galore (spider mums and blue hydrangeas)
• mini bubbles party favors
• turquoise and green bubble gum themed gift bags
• endless stream of bubbles

Everyone who attended and shared this special day with us had a "bubbly" time. We are definetly blessed to have such wonderful and loving family members, friends and now Godparents for Brandon. It was a memorable event for my little one, which is the most important detail. He is well aware of what his baptism signified and understands the love that encircles him. He does live in a bubble...in a bubble of blessings and love.
