Bikini model and midwife Hannah Polites celebrated her daughter Evaliah’s second birthday on the weekend with an extravagant Cinderella-themed bash.
The toddler was treated to epic ‘unicorn’ pony rides, a lavish dessert table, a flower wall complete with white roses, personalised cookies, cupcakes and macaroons and even a Cinderella entertainer.
Planning for the elaborate celebration didn’t happen overnight though, with the 27-year-old mother from the Gold Coast putting in ample time and expenses in order to the party a hit.

Posting to Instagram on Wednesday, Hannah shared some of the stylists, makeup artists, dress makers and fairytale curators who made the day possible.
‘A magical day with my beautiful family, it was enchanting for the old and the young,’ she said.
‘Seeing all these photos makes me so emotional and excited to get married in the next couple of weeks. I’m not sure how I got so lucky to have these two in my life but no amount of memories with them will ever be enough.’

But Evaliah’s face completely lit up when the ‘unicorn’ Shetland pony appeared
Balloons at $21.99 for a pack from Parties Made Pretty were arranged by specialist ‘balloon stylists’ on the day so they surrounded the flower wall – which was reminiscent of Kim Kardashian’s wedding.
But Evaliah’s face lit up when the ‘unicorn’ Shetland pony (worth $300 per hour), jumping castle ($200 for four hours) and Cinderella entertainer ($350 for two hours) appeared.
The tiny tot’s dress was from etsy store Ela Dynae Designs for $472.24 and perfectly matched her prince charming’s outfit – who was another child at the party.
A custom three-tier cake (worth approximately $400) was a perfect end to the day of laughter and fun, and tied into the theme spectacularly.
Research from practicalparenting.com.au recently found that one in 10 parents spend more than $1,000 on parties.

The jumping castle, which was also princess themed, was a huge hit on the day
The statistics also said more than one in two parents (62 per cent) felt pressure to organise a bigger and better first birthday party for their child than that of their friends.
A further one in two parents (55 per cent) said they have outsourced elements of the party, be it their kid’s first birthday cake or the entertainment on the day.
Nonetheless it’s the look on their child’s face that makes all the additional money, time and effort well worth it.
Hannah plans on marrying her fiancé in the coming months, with an equally impressive wedding soon to be revealed.
