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.

Small and intimate. Nothing fancy and over the top. Only flowers for the canopy and turquoise draping. Sunset Beach wedding. Mason jars with candles. Cheese and bread table. 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.

Good afternoon. I would like to inquire in Tzaneen but my daughter lives in Hoedspruit and would be better and more convenient to hire everything there. We just need to work out what will be best - to hire everything in Tzaneen and travel to Hoedspruit or order everything there. It is her kitchen tea. The colors we have decided on are pink and rose gold and I need everything to be very beautiful. She likes cowgirl/cowboy themes (I already have a few things for cake toppers etc.) Do you have things that align with that kind of theme? Can you send examples? Thank you.
