We wanted RJ's dol theme to be simple and elegant for us, but fun for him. So we chose a color theme of red and light blue, and a theme of a red balloon against a blue sky kind of grew out of it. Thanks to help from our friends and a lot of DIY work months ahead of time, our vision for the party came to life and we all had a great time, including the birthday boy!
My parents brought up dduk from Philly since there really isn't a place around Boston to get something as pretty as what they do down there. They got the traditional rainbow dduk cake as well as a platter of assorted pieces, all delicious even after traveling for a day!
