Hello! Last weekend was Layla's BIG 4th birthday party. When it comes to party planning I always want to make sure that the theme is something the girls are really into. You may remember Layla's request for a rainbow party last year - this year she was all about Alice in Wonderland. And I was super excited because that has always been one of my favorite movies!
I started with the invitation.
 |
| I fell in love with the cover of this book so I scanned it and simply made a few changes in Gimp. |
Then the decor. Since the theme itself is so whimsical I wanted to keep all the decorations really playful and bright with lots of raspberries, pinks and blues. And, of course, lots of quirkiness!
 |
The rose and flamingo fabrics were my starting off point. Layla and I made the Mome Raths out of popsicle sticks.
|
 |
| I found the googly eye rings at Michaels and decided to use them as napkin rings. And I made the girls drink cups out of plastic bottles, paper that I frayed and rose washi tape. |
We had great weather the day of the party and we were outside a lot.
 |
| The porch...looking more festive than usual! |
 |
| The Mome Raths greeted our guest from the mulch. |
 |
| We haven't had anything in these urns since our mums died in November. So I bought two big green rubber balls from Target and glued on white roses that I dipped in red food coloring to celebrate painting the roses red! |
 |
| I made the garland out of paint samples that I cut out with a circle punch and then folded over and glued onto a string. |
 |
| Our bunny fit right in with our theme - he's just missing his pocket watch! |
 |
| Lots of running around before tea and cake! |
I'll post Part 2 tomorrow (fingers crossed) there are just so many details and photos I didn't want to overload you!!
xxoo!
