Princess Party

My sweet Minnie Mouse is turning 3! Who would have thought all those cuddles, hugs, smiles, and fun would culminate to her being three so soon. Minnie is a BIG princess fan so I let my wheels start turning & here is the finished product.

The invitation were scrolls I made that read like a royal proclamation. we hand delivered them so they wouldn't get squished.

The birthday girl in her sleeping beauty dress. It is hard to see from the picture, but there were hundreds of purple balloons in sections on the ceiling. In the alternating sections was sparkly pink tulle with white Christmas lights under. It made the room look so cool & the lighting was amazing. It really gave it that WOW feel when you walked in.

The royal guests all came dressed up. They made crowns, painted their nails using as I am not a fan of lots of chemicals, played musical magic carpets (on our princess hopscotch squares), and a Princess version of Duck, Duck Goose.

It was truly magical for us! Before the party the King (Daddy) and the Birthday Princess danced. It was too precious for words.

We bought vinyl room makers off of eBay that really added to the ambiance (plus they are  reusable!) I sewed chair covers for each of the attending princesses thrones. They even had their names on them. There was a royal carpet leading up the the thrones. Our little princess felt like royalty!

Here is the food table. I also sewed the table cloth & covered it with more sparkly pink tulle. I had a punch fountain that I got on amazon.We had chips served in a carvable pumpkin that I made into Cinderella's carriage. The chip dip was in one of Cinderella's glass slippers. I made crown PB&J sandwiches using a crown cookie cutter  for the kids & used food gel to make jewels on the crown tops. I served Aladdin Magic Carpets (Chicken salad on open faced pumpernickel), Ariels' Jewels (jello jigglers cut in jewel shapes),

 Here's the cake I made using the Wilton cake set (below).   I thougtht it came out so cute! We even used cake safe sparklers to make it look like fireworks over the castle. She thought it was GREAT! 

It was definitely special, memorable, over the top, and fun. But hey - she only turns 3 once, right? And again the cost was in time, not really much $.
