My daughter is turning 10 and wants a 80’s themed birthday party. Something like a “disco-like” set-up, boombox, karaoke. She also wants a Photo Booth, mocktail stand, popcorn machine. She wants make-up and wigs to try on. Perhaps a long low table with cushions on the lawn as opposed to chairs. We have a pool which she also wants to incorporate, but depending on the weather.

Pork spit braai with 3 salads and pudding. Champagne and orange juice. Perhaps a tent for a quick meal after the ceremony, then everyone departs. No dancing or cash bar. Just something, beautiful, quick, and simple.
