Our little girl is turning 6 this weekend, and I cannot believe it. It seems like just yesterday she came into our lives. With all the hype of little girls aging themselves faster than necessary, I opted to do a fancy party for Cami while she still is young enough to let me! She pondered, and finally decided she wanted a Tinkerbell themed party. Of course, me needing to put a twist on things, I convinced her to do a 'Fairy Tea Party'. I have always wanted to do a tea party for her and I just fear the window of opportunity is slowly shrinking. So... here's to another full-blown party in the works (you know I LOVE it)!
We sent out invitations, thanks to my friend Amy, telling her little friends to come for tea & to "reserve their toadstool" as soon as possible. They came out so cute!! Plenty of pixie dust included, of course!
I made fairy headbands and doctored up store-bought (Dollar Tree!) fairy wings for all the little girls. They came out pretty cute, I think. I also found little fairy skirts to match the wings.
I'm going to be renting a canopy to cover the tea party tables, and inside will be mounds and mounds of pink tulle (thanks to Amy, again) along with these super cute tissue paper pom-poms I found at Michaels. Of course I used my 50% off coupon- what a steal! I also found different colored daisies at the 99 cent store that we'll be attaching to the tulle.
These are the inspiration I found for the toadstool cupcakes I'll be making. Except I found pastel colored round candies instead of the red hots. I'm going to do a practice round on Friday, so we'll see how they actually turn out. :) Wish me luck and I'll be sure to include pics of the real deal!
